Have you notice that climate is changing? Back when I was young, I can walk longer under the sun, I can even ride a bike and play outside our house but now, I can't even stay a minute outside. The intense heat of the sun is like burning my skin. And the rain, winds and typhoons are not that really strong, I can still remember that every time the class is suspended because of typhoon, but if you look outside your house, it's not even windy or raining hard, now the typhoons are getting worst. The active earthquakes are also noticeable today, that goes from country to country. It's really scary specially to our country whose under the Pacific Ring of Fire, where earthquakes and volcanoes are greatly active.
We can't say how the nature acts, sometimes we will be surprise for the harm it can give us. A month ago the countries Haiti and Chile were shocked by high magnitude earthquakes. About 100,000 died in Haiti while Chile counts over 200 casualties.
Now our country, also have another calamity to overcome, because we are suffering from El Niño phenomenon, after having so much rain and water last year when typhoon Ondoy hit us, now we are facing water shortage.
Philippines is a tropical country, and only have summer and rainy seasons, don't have winter and autumn season, but being visited by so many typhoons. Now that the summer approaches, El Niño also is being experience. Last night I heard the news that Mindanao is under the state of calamity because of the damages and problems being brought by the El Niño. Hydro Electric Power Plants are being shut down because of low level of waters in dams. Businessmen and employees can't operate their business well, due to the power shortage. In some areas of the country, the agriculture, fishing, poultry and livestock are mostly affected.
From all the disasters that we are facing, hope that we learn to avoid all the things that can only worse the nature. The truth and the sad fact is, we brought our own lives in danger, by all our wrong activities and for taking for granted about the real importance of mother nature. There's still time to make a move, let's not wait for another punishment. The mother nature is crying for you just look at the picture.
