In the past days,
Singapore just experienced the heaviest rain in 75 years and caused flooding in low-lying areas according to news reports.
Many were caught unprepared and suffered business losses.
Malaysia and
Indonesia are now also sharing the same fate. Last month,
Naga City just experienced one of the most destructive typhoons in history and same typhoon actually hit southern part of
Vietnam, a place where typhoons seldom hit.
What’s the cause of this extreme weather? Flooding in the
Africa, Typhoons in
Asia, drought in
Australia, Ice Storm in
Europe, Heat wave in US and the latest prediction is that artic ice may melt in the summer months of 2040.
Recent earthquake in Taiwan also caused damage to underwater telecommunication cables and affected the telephone and internet service here in Singapore and other part of Asia. “Dec. 27, 2006 will go down to history as the day the digital world was stopped by a natural disaster”—Today. Hmmm… There’s really no way technology can stop nature, huh?
Climate changes, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, (plus famines and wars) etc. etc. are here to stay. These are only previews. Yes, there are more to come. These and a lot of worst things were already prophesied some thousand of years ago. But, no, the world is not going to end, at least a thousand more…
