Sri Lanka tsunami 2004. Climate change increases the risk of more devastating tsunamis like the one in Sri Lanka in 2004. Sea level rise is not only a threat to people living on the world's coasts, it could also increase the risk of more and more intense tsunamis as a result of climate change. Global warming will increase the risks of tidal waves and their subsequent flooding across the planet. Climate change is the main responsible for the magnification of natural catastrophes in the world in the last twenty years. The frequency and intensity of catastrophic phenomena such as hurricanes, droughts, or floods, is becoming a new normal. Natural catastrophes are losing their character as extraordinary phenomena and 90% of them are directly or indirectly related to climate change.
