Floods strand Romania villagers
Source: BBC

At least 1,400 villagers have been stranded in northern Romania amid heavy rains that caused rivers to overflow, killing a 19-year-old man.

The 17th-Century Sambata de Sus monastery was evacuated in the floods, which also cut power to 130 villages in the north and east of the country.

Six of Romania's 41 counties have been affected, with authorities warning that seven more counties were in danger.

The rain comes after three days of high temperatures of up to 40C.

News of floods from everywhere, from US Midwest to Southern Europe to Far-East.
Everywhere people dying from it. Disasters to such an entity that many old people don't even remember the like in their age.

And still many believe the official statements of those governments that don't want to engage against GW.
Add the fires that are dramatically devastating the green heart of Europe and say - is it not MAN the only real dangerous virus of the planet?

I'm so affrighted that the key to salvation lies in the hand of the guilty!

2. In a world like our own...
...a man's "center" is as wide as the planet itself.
At least if his name is Bush, Putin, Wen Jiabao.

Unless you consider earth and universe as entities existing or making sense independently from human beings.
But in the latter case you'll have to explain to many Romanian villagers (as well as US Midwestern people, South-Europeans and poor people from Far-East) that the above mentioned men are only the center of their own lives and their decisions do not make a change in the planetary life.
