We’re not reading the signs

“When it floods, or there are natural disasters, it’s a way of nature telling us there’s something wrong. Yet, we don’t do anything and ignore it as it continues to happen. Nature is rebelling. We’re seeing floods, fires, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes… It’s saying stop what you’re doing, slow down, listen and get back on course. We’re not looking for and reading the signs. If we did that, it would help us prepare.”
