As i listen and watch the broadcast my heart breaks with every report.
It's approximately 4:25 on 3/12/11 in the morning and the north east coast is burning and sinking. its more devastating than the idea that the United States contributed to "The destruction and overwhelming chaos that the estimates of killed and wounded in Hiroshima (150,000) and Nagasaki (75,000) are over conservative."(http://www.aasc.ucla.edu/cab/200708230009.html)
That is the first thought in my head. Is we contributed to over 200,00 deaths and millions of other post traumatic ailments. However NOW mother nature is reaming the county for an even more massive atrocity. The 8.9 magnitude earthquake and now tsunami has hit the North East coast of Japan primarily Tokyo. Homes, buildings, as well as structures and people have been completely destoryed.
Is this the middle of our Planets destruction? We have been formely warned. It has been said that before the year 2012 that we as humanity would experience The WORST disasters known the mankind. That every so million/billion years humanity has got to start over.
We have been warned about the dangers of not taking care of our planet and unfortunately, i believe along with many scientist that we are too late. The mass call for active recycling, use of hybrid and economical vehicles, as well as the call for coal fired power plants to shut down is all too late. Our carbon emissions have been too wide for too long. And if we had a chance to save our planet it was years ago. Our ice caps are melting, our poles are experiencing mass opposition.
This year i can personall attest to dramatic weather changes in both California and New Jersey. Although California is typically warm on Christmas Day. It was oddly hot (needed an air conditioner) during the month of January and February. Now California is experiencing heavy rain and cold temperatures that is abnormal for this part of year. New Jersey on the otherhand although experiences flooding this time of year (http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/03/nearly_5_inches_of_rain_falls.html) The snow storms this past winter have been extremely heavy. Niether of these are extreme circumstances as those being experienced in Asia but i believe the United States is not far behind. California has yet to experience their heaviest magnitude Earthquake. However geologist predict it is coming very very soon. Furthermore due to the Earthquake/Tsunami/Catastrophic event in Tokyo, Japan. The West Coast of the United States is predicted to experience an over flow of the disaster. Beach cities have been advised to limit traffic and for people to stay prepared.
At this point my fear for this planet, myself, and humanity have reached an ultimate peak. However my awareness that this is out of my hands and in the hands of a higher power. My belief in God and faith that we can prevail/rebuild after these disasters, allows me to come to an unsettling peace. Although life for me hasn't been personally effected by these disasters my hope, heart, and prayers, go out to all families effected by Hurricane Katrina, the recent BP Oil spill, Tsunami in S.E Asia, the Earthquake/Tsunami is Tokyo Japan, and all life that has been effected by both man-made wars and mother nature's natural disasters.
