I know it's technically a usable defense, but how often is the Act of God defense actually ruled? From what I understand, it rarely works, and you'd have a better chance with any other defense. Has it been successfully used recently?

It must be the asshole druid.
Other comments are wrong to blame this on "stupidity" instead of corrupt profit seeking incentives.
Right. They're a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of those things.
Oh don't worry. They believe it's man made, just not in the way you want.
"Democrats are creating hurricanes to kill republicans"
Also
"Climate change isn't man-made"
"It's not a lie, if you believe it."
Would be nice if they could at least blame god. They'd rather blame drag queens for upsetting god.
I'm pretty sure if God is upset at anyone, it's the people claiming he's upset at drag queens. But that's just my own limited understanding, and I do not claim to know the mind of God.
Good lord. Imagine a perfect being this perpetually angry over their own creation against the grand backdrop of the universe.
I agree with you, but I just want to point out that I'm gradually trying to cut out phrases like " good Lord " from my vocabulary and it's been a struggle. Please consider good Lucifer, good golly Ms Molly, or good Cthulhu instead. Have a nice day.
This is true if we ignore monotheism and go with one of the -isms where humanity is god.
David J. Darling, renown astrophysicist, proposed that we are actually God, capital G. That we evolve into a universal collective God consciousness and reach back through time to create ourselves.
People are generally ignorant and stupid.
Neat, huh?
Yup. Which is why we need to bring back the guillotine.
Some people believe that God writes destiny, meaning that industrialization is an act of God
Its the right of corporations, as people, to be able to believe what they choose without being discriminated against
If God made people in his image and people are also corporations, then that means God is a corporation?
