If you give any regularly-occurring event that varies in intensity enough time, it is guaranteed to break the records of its previous intensities.

Yeah like earthquakes, the top registered earthquake happened 66 years ago.

The fact that you see record breaking more often than log of time implies a drift in one direction.
