Natural Disasters and Economic Unrest（1）

First, I thought about natural disasters. It is becoming clear that the root cause of the following abnormal weather is the progression of global warming. For this reason, isn’t it obvious that it is wrong to cause suffering to the creatures that support us and are immediately affected by the adverse effects of such abnormal weather? And it goes without saying that the adverse effects will also fall on humanity.

『The recent temperature rise, droughts and heavy rains that
make it seem as if Japan has become subtropical, the increase in the number,
earlier timing and strength of typhoons that land in Japan, acid rain in
Europe, the retreat of glaciers around the world, the melting of permafrost,
the expansion of deserts and arid regions, forest fires, etc. are very large
and rapid changes compared to the long-term climate change so far, and it is no
exaggeration to say that they are abnormal. At least, it is clear that recent
climate change is gradually changing into an unstable state that cannot be
contained at the average year. At the very least, it is clear that recent
climate change is gradually shifting toward an unstable state that cannot be
contained within a normal year. The root cause of these changes is the increase
in the concentration of greenhouse gases, which is truly a byproduct of
anthropogenic activities. That is why, in order to avoid further sacrifices and
burdens on the other living things that support us, we need to quickly correct
these unconscious mistakes that humanity has accumulated.』
