The earthquakes that have ravaged Japan as the new year gets underway bring back chilling memories of 2011.

The powerful March 11 earthquake and tsunami claimed close to 20,000 lives across swathes of the country’s eastern coast.

  8. Anywhere else a magnitude 7.4 quake would have killed thousands its a testament to the Japanese people who have built better building foundations, sea walls ,emergency drills to survive these catastrophes and they work to reduce fatalities

  9. In 2023, the destruction on the planet reached a new level. The world was shaken by devastating and abnormal earthquakes, a huge number of red auroras in unusual places, abnormal heating of the ocean, Category 5 hurricanes, wildfires covering half the planet, rivers and lakes massively disappearing, droughts changing with large-scale floods, volcanoes becoming active.
    Over the last 30 years, the climate has changed catastrophically. The cause of this is the cosmic cycle of 12000 years. The same changes are happening now on all planets of the solar system.
    From the end of 2024, the number and scale of natural disasters will increase many times over. And if we do nothing now, it will be impossible to live on the planet in 5-7 years. And not later than 2036 catastrophe will occur, which will turn the Earth into a planet like Mars.
    We still have a chance to save the planet and humankind. The analytical report and ways to solve the problem are voiced here: "Global Crisis. The Responsibility" (online forum).
