Fukushima Monuments, 100-Year Cycles, Environmental Realism

An anecdote regarding the Fukushima region in Japan describes historical monuments placed on hilltops to warn future generations about recurring tsunamis. These markers indicate that such disasters occur on roughly 100-year cycles, suggesting that modern extreme weather may be part of natural planetary rhythms rather than solely driven by human activity. The discussion posits that "Mother Earth wins every time" regardless of political narratives.
