Correspondent: When your family has been buried alive and you’re left to dig up
your dead the unspoken question on the lips of those left behind is why?
It’s a question that echoes across every continent a disturbing and deeply
relevant question that’s nagging at the mind of survivors, scientists and
insurance brokers alike.
The three fold increase in the number of natural disasters over the past 10
years has set alarm bells ringing even allowing for inflation, the cost of
these catastrophe’s has risen 9 times over. The human cost are rising even
faster and it’s the world’s core who are bearing the grunt of it, natural
disasters are turning into overwhelming human catastrophes.
Jeremy Leggett (Solar Century): We are seeing dramatic trends and natural disasters.
We are seeing worst of the century, worst of the millennium or ones every
thousand year events now regularly seemingly every other year on
virtually every continent of the planet and bad as the losses have been
recently is they can get much, much worse and will be.
