    Not for me. If natural outcomes of type X and frequency Y are tolerable to us and we don't fight them, it indicates that this sort of outcome should be tolerable in general.

      the method of action is an important variable as well.

      the wildlife of a wetlands that undergoes a drought has a chance to spring back once reintroduced to water.

      the wildlife of a wetlands that is chemically poisoned will not spring back to life without either lots of time or remediation efforts.

      'on the box' both situations look the same : no wildlife -- but they're not.

      The reasons matter, more data than just statistical prevalence is needed here in order to assess the damage realistically in the attempt at scoring man-made disaster against natural disaster.

        This is a good correction, thank you. Yes, modality matters.
