Increasing incidences of natural calamities.

I find it hard to know what it true in relationship to the natrual calamities that are happeing around the world these days. There is a huge drive for many media companies, even the biggest in the world, to promote man-made climate change as a fact, when the scientists themselves are in disagreement and there is no absolute cast iron evidence because it has happened before many times in the natural cycles of our planet. For instance they say that cows are releases harmful gases, well naturally, a few centuries ago there were huge herds of buffalo wondering the North Amercan planes,often as far as the eye could see. The released gas too, and they weren't made made. The world can cleanse itself with natural castrophes without our interference and I believe it will do so again, no matter how "clean" we become. But I am still in two minds, especially in sight of the fact that there are fortunes being made from Green issues. _Derek

I think we are suffering from the age of world communication. Mother earth has always been restless, but before we only knew what went on in the small area we could communicate with.

No. Nature does not have a mind and thus cannot take revenge. I think part of it is that our media can be nearly everywhere now and has very few limitations--so disasters are broadcast all over the world. Solar flares usually accompany strange weather and sure enough, we have had some bad ones and thus can possibly account for the strange weather we've been having the past couple of years. The weather goes in cycles and the earth warms and cools on a regular basis and influences it. I don't think nature is taking revenge but I'm glad some people think so because it may make them more careful with their garbage and energy use. The problem is that manufacturers don't believe it so they have no incentive to reduce their pollution and use of resources.

Nope. This is not a revenge of nature against mankind, friend. This is what the prophesied in the bible which is now the time of sorrows, famine, disasters and wars....

I don't know. We must read reports of scientist to know that. But I think that natural calamities have had from upon, so they occur nowadays is not strange. We should be optimistic about future in order that we could do the best things for future.

I think so because we treat the nature like it's nothing. We dump our wastes on the seas and benefit from it's resources. In order for us to prolong its life, we need to take care of the environment. It's like these calamities are the means for nature to fight back.

it's mother nature's wrath i think. just like any mom who disciplines her children, i think it's her way of telling us it's too much. ever watched 2012? i'm now considering that. :(

doctordidi no nature is not a person or a G od its just nature so how can it think and reason and take revenge.I think naural disasters are about the same as always its just that in the electronic age we hear about all of them all of the times everywhere whereas befire we had less news and did not hear 34/7 about natural calamities.I sure would not worry about it at all.lifes too short to fret everything.

But there has been nothing for so many years and then just the last ten or so there has begun quite afew of them. Things go in cycles and others it takes time. No, I don't think it is revenge of nature against mankind. I think it is nature at its best and this will continue. And it will get worse before it gets better.

i was watching nat geo earlier and it seems global warming is taking its place..there are lot of calamities will soon happen,that's why there are people convincing its the end of the world. i would like to think that people are smart enough to deal with this kind of phenomena..

" For every action, there is a corresponding reaction" We are experiencing all this because of the way we used and abused our planet, hope it's not yet too late, let's do the best we all can before the situation becomes irreversible.

It's not actually revenge it's just the consequences of what humans are doing to the planet. Global warning could be the main cause and it's caused by humans. As earth's temperature continues to rise, calamities are occurring on a large scale also.

I think so because we treat the nature like it's nothing. We dump our wastes on the seas and benefit from it's resources. In order for us to prolong its life, we need to take care of the environment. It's like these calamities are the means for nature to fight back.

I think there are much more disasters these years than before. Some places got flood, some places got earthquake, and just few days ago, NY and NJ had experienced a wild snow. Some scientists says that the ice in the Pole zones melt faster and faster and may lead the doom to our world. The nature is returning back, and human race is so weak face to the nature.

Well for anyone believing in the Bible, personally these are things that are predicted to get worse the closer we get to the last days. Yes, sometimes it might make it think and look like more things are happening around the world each day, but a lot of it could be the News media making us more aware of our surroundings as well. I think a lot of it could be leading up to the Financial situation in your state, country and life as a whole.

Yes, calamities are on the increase for sure. Nature is not taking revenge on humans, however. It is prophesied in the Bible that these things will occur in 'the last days'. We see very much greed, hate, violence and so forth. Part of Jesus' composite sign of the final days of this system was that there will be earthquakes in one place after another. We can add to that all the other crazy weather patters as well.

No, it's really only that we now have instant communication world-wide (plus in space), so we have simply become more aware of it, that's all. If you study history, you'll find that overall, it evens out, & in fact, most of the major upheavals happened before we ever existed, when the earth was millions of eons younger. So don't fret, just relax & say a prayer for anyone in the path of a storm. Also "Nature" is not self aware, being merely a term for all that either lives on the planet, or the actions of inanimate parts of the earth (such as tectonic shifts...we call these "earthquakes", or the movements of water or air as the sun warms or allows them to cool--"hurricanes" & "tornadoes,"--& sea currents & "tsunamis"). And then there are also the effects of gravitation from the Moon (tides, among other effects), & on & on. None of these things have consciousness. Just my tuppence...

Well you can say it as revenge. The mankind is abusive to the mother earth so we all suffer for all the consequences of it. I hope all of us will be informed about global warming and protection of mother earth. We must all take the responsibility of educating our self on how to protect the mother earth. In my place there are occurrences of two week long of raining that causes, heavy floods. It is so disherarteni8ng to see those people in a far flung boondocks suffer because of this calamities.

"You reap, what you sow". If man is good with nature, nature would be good to man. Since man is not taking care of nature, then nature is getting back to man through climate changes or global warming. We only have one planet to live, so it is each one's responsibility to preserve it not only for us but also for the future generations as well.

just like we knock the sandbag,we hit it hardly and we would also feel hurt. it is not the revenge of nature that the calamities are happening all around,but we human have created it. I feel all these disasters both to individuals and groups are simply the natural disciplines. It cycles as it has always been. we don't want bad things happen,try to care the nature and other livings.
