整整一年后,印度尼西亚苏门答北部以西的海域发生9级大地,引发了有记录以来死亡人数最多的海天巨浪夺去超过20万人的性命,受伤的、失去家园的就更多了。远至非洲东岸,即央以西4500多公里的地方,也有人因海而死。前景黯淡?这些剧只是未来发生的事的先吗?许多科学家认为,人类的活动使地球的大气发生变化,令世界的天气改变,气候变得极端,结果出现跟天气有关的难。要是这样,人类的前景就不大乐观了。令问题上加的是,在一些容易发生天的地区,有越来越多人居住,当中有的是个人选择,有的则是不得已。统计数字显示,在死于天的人当中,百分之95都是住在发展中国家的。至于富国家,虽然死亡人数较少,但经济损失却占整体的百分之75。由于天造成的损失速增加,情况严重,有些保险公司甚至怀疑自己到底有没有赔偿能力。下一文章会谈谈,一些导致天的自然现象和各种可能令情加剧的人类活动。我们也会探讨一下,到底人类有没有意愿和能力,力挽狂澜,令下一代可以在地球上安地生活下去。

English translation:

Exactly one year later, a magnitude 9.0 quake occurred just off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia, spawning by far the deadliest tsunamis in recorded history. The killer waves claimed over 200,000 lives and left many more injured, homeless, or both. Even the east coast of Africa, 2,800 miles or more [4,500 km or more] west of the epicenter, came within the tsunamis’ fatal embrace. Are Darker Clouds on the Horizon? Are such events a foretaste of what is to come? In regard to weather-related disasters, many scientists believe that human-induced changes in the atmosphere are altering the world’s climate and contributing to more extreme weather. If true, this assessment does not bode well for the future. Adding to the risk, more and more people now live in disaster-prone areas, by choice—or because they have no alternative. Statistics indicate that 95 percent of all disaster-related deaths occur in developing lands. Wealthy nations, on the other hand, have a lower mortality rate but experience 75 percent of the economic losses. Some insurers even wonder whether their industry can remain solvent under this onslaught of mounting losses. In the following article, we will examine some of the natural processes that lead to disasters and ways that humans may be adding to their severity. We will also consider whether mankind has the power and the will to effect the changes needed to make the earth a safer home for future generations.
