GLOBAL PERIL
(Thế giới trên bờ vực thảm họa – by Rainbow on Thu Aug 16, 2012 – translated by ngocxuan- edited by Xiaobaiyun.)
In the last two years, almost all countries around the world have suffered from disasters including floods, hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes and droughts …
Regarding wild fires, since the start of this year the U.S. has had 40,000 fires (cbsnews.com), destroying 6 million acres of forests, which is above the ten year- average by one million acres.

Destructive calamities are imminent, but many nations are competing and putting lots of money and much effort into impractical and superfluous things such as space programs, sending space missions to distant planets, spacecraft and rockets to the moon, or developing nuclear submarines etc…
Countries in the world are on the brink of destruction due to wars and natural disasters which are becoming more severe and frequent as we have already seen.
