People died due to landslides and flash floods. Torrential downpour is to blame. How many times have you heard about this deadly natural disaster? I have heard it for a couple of times since the year started. In my country, enormous floods and landslides happened and hundreds of people lost their lives and houses. Upon hearing this heartbreaking news, it made me realized how significant it is to be more concern about the nature. Climate change caused by humans. Pollution is man made. And time will come that the earth will sink to hell if we do not do anything about this problem. People should be aware what is happening now in our environment. We have to do our responsibility as well not just letting the others do it for us. How about you? Are you concern about the environment? Do you think we have to be more concern in natural disaster or terrorism?

Natural disaster is the most feared disaster that can wipe out not only human lives but also properties at lightning speed. It comes unannounced and strike without mercy. While terrorism is equally dangerous but at least it is preventable and less life is lost.

There has been a number of landslides, flashfloods, tornadoes, and so many different disasters this year. I would say the weather has been pretty unusual this year. I think many of these are coming from global warming, temperature rising unusually. Weather can change abruptly.

hi tess this past year here in the US has seen so much disasters that never happened before in those areas.so could it be a wake] up call from mother nature that we need to save our wonderful world God gave us and quit polluting our waterways and our air, take better care of the trees and animals that make up the balance of nature.yes natural disaster we can do little about but terrorism we can quell but in time we can restore our earth to a healthy clime again.
