I think the difference is that while things do happen to us in olam hazeh because of things that we do, there isn’t a direct, apparent correlation until olam haba. People can say that Hurricane Sandy happened because my Shabbos skirt is too short, but it’s a shot in the dark- they have no way of knowing. In olam haba maybe I’ll get onesh for having my skirt be too short, but it’s only then that I’ll know for sure that that was the reason.
