After many debates on global...warming, we're ironically facing now freezing cold weather.
Personally, I dislike the heat of summer, but I dread the cold of winter as it usually brings with it viruses and health issues. The annual influenza vaccine has not been helpful to me. The little mask is, and I still wear it when outdoors.
Science doesn't seem to have answers for us. Every day of the week we are notified about another natural disaster occurring in some part of the world, causing loss of lives, misery, and property damage.
We've been told that the massive glaciers in Antarctica are slowly melting, causing rise of water in the oceans, as a result of which, islands and coastal cities are going to be swalowed and totally disappear.
Earhquakes, tornadoes, volcano eruptions - are already 'busy' with contributing to the rest of the world's destruction. Climate change brings about escalation; the probability and intensity of disasters' occurrence, being higher than usual.
We are aware of things, and yet we do not know with exactitude when, where, and how they'll strike. That's why we seem to ignore obvious dangers, such as living by the sea, and around volcanoes.
Anyway, the Uknown is the worst of enemies. Knowledge is power that could help us better protect ouselves and our homes by teaching us how to avoid fires, floodings, drought, outages, finding the right shelter etc..
