What's going on, Mother Earth?




Hurricane Katrina caused havoc in New Orleans and Lousiana in 2005. Hundreds of thousands of people were affected. Damage control came late and life has not exactly returned to normal even now - two years later.

Since February this year, tornadoes have been appearing in various parts of North America, namely Florida, Lousiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Okhlahoma, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Illinois, New York and the MidWest. Fatalities from these outbreaks of tornadoes or twisters are numbered about 60.

Currently, we have fires sweeping across Southern California. That's water, wind and fire. Are these some of the side-effects of global warming, or these natural disasters portend something more terrible is on the way?

Frankly, I don't know the answers. Can someone enlighten me?
