Similarly, during the big El Nino of 2015-16, then mild El Nino in late 2018 to mid-2019, we often read stories of "worsening El Nino." Which is not true because El Nino-La Nina cycle just naturally occurs.

The Green New Deal Is The Key To Ending Forever Wars
The fossil fuel industry is a current casualty of the coronavirus pandemic, with oil prices briefly dipping below zero at the end of April.

US Blocks Vote On UN’s Bid For Global Ceasefire
International diplomats were stunned and frustrated Friday after the United States again blocked a United Nations resolution to call for a global ceasefire during the COVID-19 pandemic, only because the Trump administration objected to an indirect reference to the World Health Organization (WHO).

In 1968 the US was hit with the Hong Kong flu, originating in China, and around 100,000 Americans died, about 1 million died worldwide.
