Mega Hurricanes

The latest hurricane Typhoon Haiyan has caused such catastrophic destruction in the Philippines, one can hardly grasp the enormity of the event. The death toll and the suffering of survivors is beyond measure.

Since the declaration of national calamity issued by the Philippine government, aid from around the world is beginning to arrive, but the scope of destruction is so vast its difficult to deliver it where needed.

If we are due to experience catastrophic events caused by climate change, we won't have to worry about nuclear proliferation and the threat of nuclear weapons. Mother nature will have solved that problem.
