The only reason why all these super storms, earthquakes and other such natural disasters are happening and accelerating is because of us. We're hurting our planet with our pollution, abusing our natural resources and severely damaging the ecosystem through our stupid wars. The earth is a living thing and this is the only way for it to "burn off" all that we're doing to it. Humanity is just asking for the shit to hit the fan so this comes as absolutely no surprise to me.
Japan had a big earthquake/tsunami a while ago too. That country's been hit hard by nature as of late :/
Even with that happening almost every time with a country so small, they always seems prepared to that, I didnt know about their projects, but maybe thinking about ecosystem is in the top of the list. The thing is, the majority of people share all this thing about what's happening in JP or Korea today, some of them send donations, and after one month they forgot about that. I dont will lie, Im a part of this majority, maybe thats my nature, or maybe because I fell powerless who knows? The thing is, if we started to really give our planet the attention needed, put this in the top of the list instead of only thinking in this piece of paper called "money", maybe them we could have a chance.
Trying to save the planet in a so low paced mode wont will do the job, while one person clean a wound other three goes and open it again and put salt on it. When this thing really start affecting everyone and directly, we will run and try to repair the things, but it will be late.
Maybe Im saying BS, but you really believes that a government that searches without stop a way to live in another planets, while they didnt even know how to treat well our own, are giving top priority to that?
