Tsunami: A Man Made Disaster
The phenomenon of Tsunami has been understood and observed for millenia. The Tsunami which occurred on boxing day 2004 and killed hundreds of thousands of people was nothing new. A tsunami is generated by earthquakes at sea, and predicting the event depends on our ability to predict earth quakes. As yet, this is a developing science, and forecasts are not available. However, spotting a new tsunami and monitoring its movement requires only very basic technology. Remote monitoring stations can very easily be built to record such variables as seismic waves, water pressure variations, elevation of water surface and so forth. With our network of satellite communications a tsunami can be detected and an alert relayed to the world’s population within minutes. Manned coastal stations can then alert the public in risk areas by radio or telephone. In fact, for tsunamis generated by a nearby coastal subduction fault, there is roughly a half an hour delay between the earthquake and the arrival of the tsunami - a natural warning and plenty of time to coordinate people to move inland to higher ground.
Very simple, very easily achieved. But we chose not to do it.
Instead, the human race spends trillions of US dollars every year on weapons. Weapons which detract from the quality of life of the species. We understand our environment to a fair degree, and such supposedly natural disasters as tsunami, earthquakes, or volcanic action are not caused by nature. In accepting nature as it is, and understanding it, we have complete ability to avoid problems. By going against nature it is us who create the problems. As John Lennon put it in Watching the Wheels Go Round “there are no problems, only solutions”. This very same wisdom has been known and documented for millenia by ancient Taoists such as Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, we have simply chosen not to listen - hence the reference to receiving on this site’s front page! This site explains how we all often reject the truth; we are not receptive, and consequently we cause problems for ourselves and the world.
We can destroy countries by splitting atoms with missiles launched from submarines, we create radar dodging stealth jets, nerve agents, biological weapons, we expend so much effort researching how to make people die. How much effort would it take to send crews of men out to sea in boats,
