Climate is changing but from what I’ve read the intensity isn’t worse, there are simply more humans on earth meaning more people are affected by such incidents.
Definitely agree the worst is caused by solar activity and for this alone it’s obvious we can’t control it - we are however better equipped than ever to mitigate any such effects, precisely because we can harness energy dense fuels to power machines which allow us to build more suitable structures, materials (ie clothing) and harvest more food/water. We can cool/heat spaces and light them and use computers to further improve mitigation (ie we’re not stuck using expensive beeswax candles to learn shit once the sun goes down and write everything down all by hand).
The exact problem is the hubris. That is what differentiates and makes these proponents into cultists, they are certain that humanity has this ability and refuse to accept that there are things that no amount of money or technology can change.
This is what got hijacked into a cult; humanity’s hubristic belief that because we are the apex predator, that we can do anything.
