When disasters strike, they do not check how luxurious someone’s house is, how much money is in their bank account, or what kind of weapons and modern technology they possess.
#China these days is in the grip of fierce storms, tornadoes, cyclones like Typhoon Maysak and Typhoon Bavi, torrential rains, and devastating floods. Luxurious high-rise buildings and their grand decor have all turned to dust. The most expensive cars have been washed away to God knows where. Magnificent infrastructure has crumbled into pieces.
Regions like Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Hunan, Chongqing, Nanning, Hengzhou, Liaoning, Guangxi, and Hebei are facing massive devastation.
The collision of excessive moisture arriving simultaneously from the Bay of Bengal, the South China Sea, and the Pacific Ocean has made China's weather pattern so aggressive and destructive, turning it directly into a catastrophic effect of climate change.
Due to #Global_Warming, the atmosphere is absorbing more moisture, leading to an increase in instances of extreme and torrential rainfall in short spans of time.
When nature loses its balance, no man-made protective wall, technology, grandeur, wealth, or vault can provide safety.
Money is only useful in the human system, i.e., the #Economy, not in nature's system, i.e., #Ecology.
When clean air, trees, drinkable water, and fertile soil no longer remain, paper notes or digital currency cannot fill anyone's stomach.
Our real capital is this Earth, not the wealth for which we are destroying it....
