Avalanches, typhoons, storms, floods, Sunamis have become a regular occurance in one part or other of the world causing destruction and loss of valuable lives. Yesterday it was the huge snow storm in the east coast of US, putting vast areas of New York, Washington etc. under 2-3 feet of snow and death of 19 or more persons.
Is these furies of the nature a result of its unscientific exploitation and unlimited abuse by mankind for centuries? If so, what can be done to avoid the same?
