I was watching the news tonight and was shocked by the footage of the landslide in China and the floods in Pakistan. What is happening to our planet? In China 337 people dead so far but it is estimated that the number can more than double and there is more rain predicted for that area. In Pakistan things are not looking any better with thousands dead and millions homeless and a Prime Minister that went abroad during it all. These floods are said to be a bigger disaster than the Haiti quake and the 2004 Tsunami combined.
It just feels that it has been disaster upon disaster for the past few years. what is happening?

It is so bad that the natural disasters happen everywhere and it seems today it happens much more frequently than before. I don't really know why. The reasons can be various. But I think it somewhat has relationship with the human beings. We don't protect our earth well. This is the revenge from the nature. Besides, the government doesn't have good methods to prevent the disasters.
I love China

Maybe the earth is fighting us off like our bodies fight off viruses?
