Is it all our fault?

As someone who has been involved in aid-work off and on for the last fifteen years, probably the first question I get asked – after “is there any money in aid-work, then?” – is “so is it all our fault that the planet hates us?”

My answer is usually very brief for 2 reasons. 1) I don’t honestly know and 2) would my opinion really help?

Well, I have come to the conclusion that actually my opinion might help. Because although it may sound harsh, it may also wake a few people up. So here goes nothing.

In many ways, we have caused these natural disasters. At least in my opinion. After all, we have pumped stuff into the atmosphere for many years, and none of us would ever dream of giving up flying for good. But then again, what you must understand with the world is that it has been around much longer than us, obviously. And it’s due to this fact, and our brevity on Earth, that we just don’t have enough information to really conclude any absolutely bona-fide results. That’s to say that we don’t know yet how much is our fault – what we do know, though, and with clarity, is that we have accelerated any problems that were already there.

Now, that’s possibly a bit vaguer than you hoped, but there it is. It can’t be helped. And that is likely to be how it remains too, until the papers stop printing news about armed forces insurance and the never-ending war in Iraq.

A tornado is a dangerous rotating wind of column that comes in touch with the ground, hitting its base from the skies, as it descends beautifully in a circular motion, in the form of a thunderstorm.

Tornadoes often hits the eastern and southern United States during this time of year.
The state of Alabama was brutally hit with this recent storm. Alabama and other southern states have seen the deadliest storms in the last three decades. Over three hundred people have died in the last storm that hit at the end of April. Tornadoes caught on film can look beautiful but it is one of natures most devastating phenomena. So during a tornado you much rather be in an auberges de jeunesse Amsterdam.

There are warning signs that alert us about tornadoes and they should be paid serious attention. When a tornado is coming you must take steps to protect you and your family.
If you have a basement in your home make your way towards it. In case you can’t go to lower ground stay in a closed space away from windows. Do everything you can to stay safe, listen carefully to the radio to hear where the storm is at and the guidelines. After the storm has gone be sure to help others to the best of your ability if they need help.
Tornadoes leave so much damage so be sure it is safe before venturing out.
