Human sapiens has been old and innocent victim of natural calamities branded as flood, hurricane, storm, earthquake and tsunami since ages. Biological data depicts the loss of valuable men and material suffered by mankind owing to the chain reaction by such fatal natural incidents. Global warming has turned an eyesore to the rapid glory of rising civilsation with great mystery yet to be unfolded. UNO data reveals the rate of mortality owned due to natural disaster with great sway of cruel time factor. Of the 245 natural disasters in the first 11 months of 2009, 224 or 91.4 per cent were due to weather, a UN study has found. Of the 58 million people affected, 55 million were affected by weather-related disasters, which accounted for $15 billion (` 7,05,000 crore) spent in coping with these disasters. A study has found that half of these disasters, mainly storms and floods, have taken place in Asia, Debarati Guha Sapir of Brussels-based CRED said. And this data does not include the loss due to drought because that takes longer to account for. Guha Sapir said, 'We have found that this is due to global warming, weak political systems, urbanisation, weak infrastructure, population increase and deforestation.' 'We have to cap the emissions of greenhouse gases because they produce greater risk of disasters,' WMO head Michel Jerraud said. Greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide, are causing the climate change that is already affecting farm output, making droughts, floods and storms more frequent and more severe, and raising the sea level.
