-----------------------> This is the result of every human beings' unkind treatment towards mother earth. Every trees we cut (without replacing them), every plastic we burn (without recycling), every factory we stand (eventhough it gives people jobs) and every disrespect towards nature. Now, its all coming back to us. I find it both good and bad. Good, because many people now are becoming aware of it (though most are "aware" still, plenty does not put things in action) and do/does things that called help the earth with their own little way. Bad, in a way that it causes death to people and architechtural distruction/building/ houses/roads, etc.
