TSUNAMI HITS JAPAN AND OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS MIGHT BE JUST ROUND THE CORNER

The dreaded earthquake, followed by tsunami, then by fire and finally by a nuclear reactor blast has really hit Japan hard. It is an example that we still are at the mercy of nature. People in Japan are always prepared for an earthquake. They even conduct drills for this purpose. But that is for moderate quakes. But the earthquake which hit them this time round is one of the biggest in recent history. It has left the philanthropists of the world aghast and the people of Japan in a state of utter shock and bewilderment. How the people of Japan and the world react to this challenge is something that is awaited. At one end there is revolution going on in Egypt, Libya and other monarchist and anarchist nations and the on the other hand a country of hard working and honest people is getting devastated by nature's fury. This is just a way of nature saying that she is angry with whatever's happening in this world. And she is also forcing at the same time the whole world to come together and stand united in this time of strife. The plight that the people in Japan would be facing is unimaginable. It reminds us of the Tsunami that occurred in South Asia in 2006, damaging everything that got in it's way. Fathers crying for their children and children for their missing parents was a heart wrenching scene during those times. And the same thing has happened in Japan four years later. The simple fact that ought to be understood is that, things like earthquakes are going to happen even more frequently from now on, because tectonic movements are increasing and in some way or the other human beings are also responsible for whatever's happening. The melting of polar ice has been increasing every year and it is increasing the sea level by 0.05 inch(according to NASA) each year. So natural disasters can be just round the corner. Due to global warming the flow ocean current is getting modified, and thus seasonal changes are taking place. Summer, autumn, spring and autumn are not occurring as they ought to. There is marked change in the time of their arrival and departure. Due to this crops are getting destroyed, which leads to shortage of food grains and thus finally to inflation. Besides the lack of proper infrastructure in developing countries and lack of proper implementation of various plans and programs is also affecting the proper routing of resources so that they can reach the people who need them the most. So the solution of these natural disasters is implicitly related to the existence of human beings.
