No one can have failed to notice the fact that the past years witnessed an increasing number of natural disasters in China and other parts of the world. As we see, earthquakes are hitting almost every continent at a frequency never reached before in our memory; the eruption of volcano in Iceland casts another layer of shadow on people’s mind. In China, many provinces have suffered or are suffering from prolonged droughts and floods.
Such being the case, a number of people assert that the doom of mankind is looming. They firmly believe that the scenes in the film 2012 will come true: earthquake hitting, volcanoes erupting, snowcaps melting, sea level rising and people fleeing for life. Some see others causes of human doom: greenhouse effect, El Nino phenomenon, acid rain, pollution as well as the imbalance of eco-system.
Personally, I believe that this issue should be viewed from more than one perspective. As to such disasters as earthquakes and volcanoes or even global warming caused by solar activities, we surely cannot control. But as to disasters resulting from human activities, I believe we can mange to reduce and even to eliminate them. Actually, we have made and are making efforts to do so.
