Why did the Taal Volcano in Batangas have to erupt now? It’s so untimely for the volcano to erupt now just when our people are beginning to stand up from the past regime. Progress was on the air and our needy people are beginning to have better lives. Jobs and opportunities were beginning to sprout specially on the tourist spots; and Tagaytay City is one of them. For one, I always take my foreign guests to Tagaytay City for lunch and pass a few hours stay to savor the beautiful scenery.
It’s part of nature that supporters of “Climate Change” cannot possibly remedy. The destruction caused by the volcano eruption is much more painful to bear for those affected by the ashfall that hardens like cement on the plantations, houses, buildings and all that are affected by it. The destruction is incomparable to other tragedies for it affects the homes, businesses and other forms of livelihood. And to top it all, almost irreparable for those who are victimized by the eruption. Even the soil of their plantations are affected by acid from the acidic ashfall. I honestly cannot tell how our people who were affected can stand up again.
The only consolation I can think of is that such happening is beyond human control. It’s part of our planet that probably regains energy as it rotates in space.
There are volcanoes all over the planet earth. Volcano eruptions have been experienced in Iceland, that has 130 volcanoes; Italy, Hawaii, Indonesia, Japan, etc… where towns and cities were buried underground by the lava from the Vesuvius volcano in Italy, one of which buried the City of Naples, totally, centuries ago.
In Japan there are 108 active volcanoes. It makes us think that these volcanoes serve as “check valves” of our planet to release the energy gathered as it rotates in outer space. If I am not mistaken, it has been said that scientists have observed such activities in other planets.
We have to accept the realities in life that cannot be remedied by “Climate Change” advocates or supporters. It’s part of every planet for as it was designed not to abuse the environment.
The “Climate Change” advocates should change their goals in trying to control what was designed for planet earth and instead channel the funds to the victims of tragedies, such as volcano eruptions, earthquakes, typhoons, floods, tsunamis and other natural tragedies so harmful to life and limb.
In short, extend help to those who are in need of help. No one can stop natural tragedies from happening.
