The End of the World - 2012 and Natural Disasters619213

Is Anyone There?

If you are reading this then you can be fairly certain that the world did not end in 2011. But the doom mongers amongst you should not despair. Evidently the Mayan calendar does not extend beyond 2012 and therefore we are all assured earthly destruction sometime in the not too distant future.

Natural Disasters: The Economic Cost

Nibiru, 2011 has been an extremely bad year for natural disasters. In fact , 2011 has probably been the most costly ever. Current estimates stand at about a third of a trillion US dollars. Of this, the Japanese earthquake and the resulting tsunami accounts for $210 billion. And this doesn't take into account the effects of the follow on nuclear accident.

Planet X: The Human Toll

The hard economic facts do not account for the human misery; most of it remains unaccountable and quite frankly beyond human understanding. As one twentieth century despot so elegantly and brutally phrased it: "a single death is a personal tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic". Incredibly, in spite of the huge economic toil, human deaths caused by natural disasters in 2011 remained relatively low at 27, 000. To place these figures in some perspective: the fatalities attributed to natural disasters in 2010 were estimated at a staggering 296, 000.

Nibiru and 2012

I, like the vast majority of people on earth, will not be marking the passing days this year with any especial trepidation, well no more than usual. If I were a betting man I would be willing to place all that I own on the prospect that human kind will be still around to herald in 2013. What I can predict however , is another year of wild weather with mounting human and economic costs; only time will tell.
