Today I woke up with the shocks of tremor — another natural calamity. They seem to have been occurring too frequently with a great deal of vehemence. Earlier in July, Mumbai (India) submerged due to excessive flooding as result of heavy rainfall, causing many deaths and financial losses.
Last year, Tsunami devastated the lives of hundreds of thousands in Asia, including financial losses worth Rs. 70,000 crores. Then Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
The numbers are too heavy. Is it the nature’s vengeance for global warming and pollution we cause by abusing natural resources? According to some research environmentalists, pollution and global warming enhance the intensity of such natural calamities.
Perhaps it’s the time to turn on to renewable sources of energy for the amelioration of civilization.
