Russian Fires[views:2377][posts:47]___________________________________________ [Aug 9,2010 12:29pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] I love how basically this entire country is on fire and there is very little coverage in the mainstream media. “We have an ‘archive’ of dangerous weather conditions dating back to the last one thousand years,” Frolov said. “We can conclude that in regards to heat our country has not seen anything like this.” http://rt.com/Top_News/2010-08-09/fire-moscow-tough-summer.html |

| _____________________________ [Aug 9,2010 1:28pm - Yeti ""] we are 8 months into the decade and Haiti has been destroyed, the Gulf of Mexico has been destroyed, and now Russia is on fire. |

China has it's own oil spill to deal with as well. Oil spill in Dalian, China http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/07/cleaning_dalian_harbor.html It was caused by an explosion too! [img] |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 9,2010 1:35pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] ya i heard about that. i have a feeling the results of both will resemble Nigeria - which is pretty much FUBAR. |

Just sayin'. the cause may have been from humans but the results still affect the natural environment. i still consider that to be a natural disaster IMHO. |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 9,2010 2:24pm - arilliusbm ""] Oil is a natural byproduct of planet earth but the apparatus used to extract said resource is human-made, therefore it is a disaster caused by humans but with a natural resource as the pollutant. It's like if we were cutting down trees to make paper, but the trees were really Ents and the Ents murdered everyone on the planet. We caused it to happen by interferring with the naturally occuring resource, which ultimately consumed our very existence. Moral of the story is Ents or GTFO |
