Destroy & Control the Nature

Because of the super hurricane Katrina, people all over the world again talk about our destruction to our environment which may have caused many natural disasters.

Yesterday i saw an article in the metro HK newspaper, it mentioned that Hong Kong is blessed not to have the recently strong typhoons being visited. But the truth is that fewer typhoons visited HK is extraordinary. The HK Observatory revealed that 6 typhoons in average should visit HK every year. Guang Dong province recorded zero typhoons up to August out of 5.2 in average.
At the end of July, China Science Department announced the density of carbon dioxide (CO2) around Pearl River Delta region is the second highest among the nation, this provides the evidence of typhoon hardly enters the area.

On Tuesday, i saw a RTHK TV programme talking about our Tsing Ma bridge can bear over 3 hundred km/h of wind speed (even the super hurricane was 200 km/h). Then interviewed some science reseachers who are studying how to control the direction of typhoon. One method is to divert its direction by satellite beaming a ray to heat up the target area by one degree Centigrade. i am stunned by human to try to control the nature. History has proven that we human have done harm to the earth a lot, i cannot image if we could try to control the nature, may be doing much more harm than good, ..., or human disasters!

At last of the TV programme, the reporter asked a question, "Who can be authorized to say, which direction?".
