Extreme weather causes floods: are you afraid of nature's fury?

In recent years, extreme weather events around the world have become more frequent and more violent.

In January this year, a winter storm swept through California, causing natural disasters such as floods and mudslides in many places.

A large number of homes have been flooded, several roads have been cut off, and the San Lorenzo River water level in Santa Cruz County in central California continues to rise.

The U.S. National Weather said rain bands and strong winds from the north to the south are expected to see more storms.

In the coming days, rainfall in Northern California will continue to grow, with flooding, landslides and mudslides on the verge of eruption.

Days of heavy precipitation killed at least 19 people, closed highways, left more than 64,000 customers without power, more than half of California's 58 counties were declared disaster areas, and nearly 26 million people were under flood warning.

The flooding is linked to a phenomenon called the "atmospheric river," a channel of water vapor that extends from tropical Pacific Ocean, similar to a river in the sky.

"Atmospheric rivers" are not only available in the United States, but also in China.

In July last year, two consecutive heavy rains in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and July 20 in Henan, which caused heavy losses, both had strong atmospheric rivers.

This is not an accident, but a rage from nature.

If you remember nature seven years ago, you may be very emotional now.

Seven years ago, a BBC epic was born, which still dominates the documentary industry, and it truly restores the beauty of nature.

Douban scored a high score of 9.8, almost no bad reviews, and was known as the "eyewash artifact" of contemporary people.

It's Earth Pulse 2.

Some netizens commented: "The life here lives without the slightest grievance, and dies so easily." ”

From between the poles to the vast plains, from the labyrinth of caves to the vast deep sea, every frame is a feast for the eyes.

This documentary truly restores the original beauty of nature, and the small animals under the lens are lively and sensitive.

Like a fox hunting in the snow, it jumps down at the right time, inserts itself into the snow, and searches for prey.

Another example is a giant grizzly bear leaning against a tree, twisting and rubbing its back, as if it were dancing a burlesque.

Everything is like nothing we have ever seen, and perhaps this is the way nature is, awe-inspiring and healing.

Unfortunately, with the global ecological destruction, the scene seen today is far less beautiful than half of what is presented in the documentary.

The director also said: "This is what I know, the next generation will not see the scene of the earth, and no one will invest the same level of resources and shoot the same film as this film." ”

Those wild and cute animals should live in the vast land, live carefree, and die without pain.

What has nature become like now?

There is a passage in National Geographic: Before the Flood: "Over the past 12,000 years, the temperature has been almost miraculously stable, and the average temperature has fluctuated only between ±1°C, that is, the earth has a perfect atmosphere, perfect self-regulation." ”

But in recent years, the temperature has risen year by year, and the earth's ability to regulate is weakening.

Even Antarctica, the coldest place in the world, measured a high temperature of 20.75°C in February 2020.

The Arctic is no exception, and glaciers that fascinate millions of people are melting.

I once saw five newly discovered islands near the Arctic on the news, which were the scene after the glacier slowly melted.

If it weren't for this news, perhaps many people would have forgotten that there was still such a beautiful pure land on earth.

For 4,000 years, Inuit have guarded this land of the Far North, with a strong love and gratitude for this cold land.

Successive explorers continue to discover the treasures of the Arctic, planting flags on the North Pole, declaring that we have conquered the Arctic.

However, as the pace of human exploration has increased, Arctic glaciers have become overwhelmed.

In August 2019, Icelanders held a special funeral.

It was not people who died, but a glacier, a glacier called "Olkul".

The demise of this glacier is a signal from nature that if humans do not maintain and protect the glacier's resources, then when it dies, each of us will bear the corresponding price.

Engels once said: "Let us not be overly intoxicated by the victory of mankind over nature, for each such victory, nature will retaliate against us." ”

When floods hit human homes, we should think about how many animals have lost their homes at the hands of nature's executioners.

Protecting the ecological environment has never been a slogan, and only when it is put into action can we see hope.

The mainland has long attached importance to the construction of the natural ecological environment, and has built a large-scale artificial forestry ecological project covering 13 provinces and municipalities, including Heilongjiang, Jilin, Beijing and Hebei, with an area of 4.358 million square kilometers - the Sanbei Shelter Forest.

Where we can't see, there are thousands of ordinary figures, rushing on the road of ecological environment construction, doing great things.

In the face of the vast and boundless nature, the power of human beings seems to be very small, but the spark can ignite the plain, and there are still practitioners of ecological protection who are willing to do a little spark, and use personal power to call on the society to protect nature and protect the environment together.

Give tranquility back to nature and leave the scenery to yourself.
