Catastrophic Rise in Sea Level: Japan, our thoughts are with you!

Today's biggest news in the world is the disaster in Japan!
"A magnitude 8.9 earthquake, the biggest quake to hit Japan since officials began keeping records in the late 1800s, struck off the country's northeast coast Friday at 2:46 p.m. local time. It was followed by at least 50 aftershocks, some of them more than magnitude 6.0, and triggered a tsunami that swallowed homes, swept away cars and boats and forced people to scramble to higher ground."

Hundreds more people were missing, tens of thousands of people were displaced. The quake prompted the U.S. National Weather Service to issue tsunami warnings for at least 50 countries and territories. Six million households, more than 10% of the total in Japan, were without electricity. The scale of destruction was not yet known, but there were grim signs that the death toll could soar. Officials are closely watching nuclear power plants after an explosion and secondary emergency at one of two nuclear plants damaged by the quake. "Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the "enormously powerful" earthquake had caused "tremendous damage over a wide area." (CBC news)

After this disaster, I believe that everyone will realize and understand how powerful the nature is. However, it is a warning for everyone in the world, it is time to save the Earth, and especially global warming. The nature will soon pounce on us again, it is fast, and no one can stop it.

Finally, we all pray for Japan!
