Ndi David Swanson, World BEYOND War, January 6, 2022
Ndimakhala m'dziko lolemera, US, ndipo mu ngodya yake, gawo la Virginia, lomwe silinakhudzidwe kwambiri ndi moto kapena kusefukira kwa madzi kapena tornados. M'malo mwake, mpaka Lamlungu usiku, Januware 2, tikadakhala ndi nyengo yabwino, pafupifupi ngati yachilimwe nthawi zambiri kuyambira chirimwe. Ndiyeno, Lolemba m’mawa, tinakhala ndi chipale chofewa chonyowa kwambiri.
Tsopano ndi Lachinayi, ndipo mitengo ndi nthambi zakhala zikutsika ponseponse. Tinagwedeza nthambi mobwerezabwereza pamene chipale chofewa chinali kufika poyamba, kuti tichotsepo zina. Tinali ndi mtengo wa dogwood womwe umabwera kuseri kwa bwalo, ndi mbali zina za myrtle panjira yolowera, ndi nthambi zina ndi nthambi kuzungulira. Tinkachotsa chipale chofewa padenga la nyumbayo ndiponso tinkatsekera zitseko mmene tingathere.
Nyumba zambiri ndi mabizinesi kuzungulira kuno alibe magetsi. Malo ogulitsa zakudya amakhala ndi mashelufu opanda kanthu. Anthu adakhala m'magalimoto pa Interstate-95 kwa maola opitilira 24. Anthu akubwereka zipinda zama hotelo, koma ogwira ntchito ku hotelo sangathe kufika onse chifukwa cha misewu. Chipale chofewa chinenedweratu usikuuno.
Kodi chimachitika ndi chiyani chipale chofewa chikakhala cholemera pang'ono komanso usiku? Mnansi wathu sabata yatha anagwetsa mtengo wakufa womwe ukadathyola nyumba yathu ikadabwera molakwika Lolemba - mtengo womwe mwachiwonekere udamwalira chifukwa chosinthira magetsi sichinakulitsidwe kuyambira ndisanabadwe. Kodi chimachitika n'chiyani mitengo yambiri yozungulira kuno ikafa? Ine analemba za izi mu 2014. Chimachitika ndi chiyani tikatha mphamvu? kutentha? denga?
Chinthu chimodzi chimene chimachitika n’chakuti anthu amathandizana. Anansi amathandizana kwambiri pakafunika thandizo, ena ali ndi mphamvu pamene ena alibe. Anthu omwe ali m'misewu yayikulu youndana amagawira chakudya kwa omwe ali pafupi nawo. Pamalo amderali ngakhale mabungwe ochepa amakhalabe, kotero kuti masukulu ndi nyumba zina zimasinthidwa kukhala malo othandizira. Kufunika kothandizana wina ndi mzake kudzakula, ndithudi.
Dera la Piedmont ku Virginia lawona kutentha kukwera pamlingo wa 0.53 degrees F pazaka khumi. Ngakhale izi sizingafulumire, Virginia idzakhala yotentha ngati South Carolina pofika 2050 komanso kumpoto kwa Florida ndi 2100, ndikupitirizabe pang'onopang'ono kapena kuwonjezereka kuchokera kumeneko. Makumi asanu ndi limodzi pa zana aliwonse a Virginia ndi nkhalango, ndipo nkhalango sizingasinthe kapena kusinthira ku mitundu yanyengo yofunda pamtundu uliwonse ngati womwewo mwachangu. Tsogolo lothekera kwambiri si mitengo ya paini kapena ya mgwalangwa koma chipululu. Panjira yopita kumeneko, mitengo yakufa idzakhala ikugwera pamagetsi ndi nyumba.
Pakati pa 1948 ndi 2006 "zochitika zamvula kwambiri" zidakwera 25% ku Virginia. Mvula ku Virginia ikuyenera kuchulukirachulukira kapena kutsika kwambiri, ndipo ndizotheka kwambiri kupitiliza chizolowezi chofika pachimphepo champhamvu kwambiri chosokoneza chilala. Izi zidzawononga kwambiri ulimi. Kutentha kudzabweretsa mitundu ya udzudzu (yomwe ikubwera kale) ndi matenda. Zoopsa zazikulu ndi monga malungo, matenda a Chagas, chikungunya virus, ndi dengue virus.
Izi zonse zanenedweratu kalekale. Zomwe ndimadabwa nazo ndi momwe anthu amachitira chifundo kwa wina ndi mzake pamene tsoka likuchitika. Pambuyo pake, izi ndizofanana Homo sapiens zomwe zidapanga izi. Membala aliyense wa US Congress ali ndi zida zake zosatha amagula ndikuthandizidwa ndi mafuta oyambira pansi komanso kuchotsera msonkho kwa mabiliyoni ndi munthu. Mmodzi wa senate wa ku Virginia anali atatsekeredwa mu kuchulukana kwa magalimoto pa I-95 ndipo, pamawonekedwe onse oyambilira, adabwereranso ku chiwonongeko choyenda pang'onopang'ono-monga mwachizolowezi atatulukamo. Joe 1 ku White House watopa maondo ake akugwedera pamaso pa Joe 2 pa yacht yake ku Potomac.
Ngati zonse zomwe mumadziwa za anthu ndi zomwe boma la US limachita kuti liwonjezere mwayi wa nyukiliya kapena kugwa kwa nyengo, kapena zomwe anthu aku US amadyetsedwa kudzera pawailesi yakanema, mungayembekezere kuti masoka achulukirachulukira mdera lanu ndi ang'onoang'ono. nkhanza. Ndikuganiza kuti mungakhale mukulakwitsa kwambiri. Ndikuganiza kuti pakhala zinthu zosawerengeka zachifundo ndi zolimba mtima m'nthawi zomwe zikubwera.
