This is one of the many photos of what has happened in USA. It seems to me that these tornados events happen more often, and they are more violent, in this case more than 70 people have lost their lives, and a lot of building have been destroyed, in several locations.
What happened in December 2021.
World
news in December 2021.
Welcome to my
diary,
Dear readers, I am
writing this diary to remind me what I have seen happen during my life,
anyhow, this is the month of December and nearly Christmas time, which
sometimes we call the silly season, because everybody likes to make merry and
do happy things. This year again, we may need to refrain from being carried
away from it, because of what is happening, so, we need to be serious.
You see, apart from
thinking about Christmas, it seems to me that we need to continue talking
about two other main things: one is Climatic changes, because of what has just
happened in USA recently, and the other is this pandemic that is affecting the
entire world. So, let us see what has happened in USA, because what has
happened can be linked to the climatic change. So, hereunder I quote what I
have found on the Internet.
-----------------------
Tornadoes have caused widespread damage in central
and southern US states, with dozens of people feared dead. Witnesses and
survivors have been describing their terrifying experiences of the storm.

The damage included building collapses of a candle factory in
Mayfield, Kentucky, where officials believe more than 70 people may have died,
an Amazon warehouse in Illinois, and a nursing home in Arkansas. The other
states that have been most affected are Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
Kentucky: tragedy at candle factory
Kyanna Parsons-Perez felt the building was making
them “rock from one side to the other” right before it collapsed on her and her
co-workers at a candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, on Friday after it was
hit by the tornado.
Parsons-Perez, an employee at the candle factory in this city
of less than 10,000, was stuck for three hours in the rubble, and documented
part of it in a livestream on Facebook in which her co-workers can be heard
crying in fear.

Above I have pasted a link about these tornados, I hope it
works to see what has happened. Below is what Joe Biden said, when he visited
Kentucky.

Joe Biden promises tornado-ravaged Kentucky ‘we’re

6 hours ago · US President Joe Biden has spoken in
Kentucky addressing the damage wreaked by tornadoes in one of the
hardest hit cities of the disaster. The President made his address from Dawson
Springs, Kentucky.
Anyhow, there are reasons to believe that these tornados are
happening more than usual, so, this may be due to the warmer temperature caused
from climatic change. As you know they have had a couple of meeting last month about
this climatic change, so I hope that they keep working on it, to give the best
outcome, in the hope that this will minimize violent weather happening, like
these tornados and other things.
----------------------------
While I was editing this article the 31st of December, I found that another tragedy has occurred, which can also be attributed to climatic change.
Colorado wildfires: tens of thousands evacuated as blazes destroy
hundreds of homes
Tens of thousands of residents were forced to
flee in northern Colorado after fast-moving wildfires destroyed an estimated
600 homes.
Over 30,000 residents across three communities
outside Denver had to evacuate their homes after wind-fueled grass fires rapidly
burned through multiple buildings including a hotel and Target shopping
complex, along with 580 homes.
------------------------------
Now let us talk about the COVID19.
The covid19 continues, has different names, since it mutates,
we had the Delta variant and the latest one is called Omicron. Anyhow, things
are a bit better now, perhaps we finally have realized that we will survive
somehow. But let us see what is happening now and make a list at the end of
this month.

over 283 million positive and 5.43 million dead, Now let us talk the 4

deaths. So, we are doing well.
-----------------------
Talking about Christmas 2021.
Anyhow, now let us talk about what we see happening, this
Christmas 2021, or should we say what we hope happens this Christmas. You see,
before this pandemic Christmas time was happy times, at least for some of us.
Today we are not so sure anymore, so, we should ask ourselves what we should
do, perhaps the best thing to do, is to go back to our religious beliefs, where
we can find some peace of mind and hope. So, hereunder is
what religious people tell us to believe, and I quote.
This
week, we’re focusing on Jesus—the Light of HOPE. Christmas has always been a season of hope. From
the beginning, the prophecies about Jesus’ birth were gifted to the world as a
hope people could cling to—the hope that a Saviour would be born into the world
who would crush the head of Satan (Genesis 3:15), so that, through this Saviour, all the nations
on earth would be blessed (Genesis 12:3).
Jesus
remains the only Light of Hope—a beacon of certainty in an uncertain and dark
world. Now’s especially the time to remember the hope we have been given
through our Saviour. Below are three ways to experience the Light of Hope as
you begin this Christmas season.
Expect the Light of Hope
No
matter what has happened in our world lately, Jesus is our greatest hope of
all. Jesus is God’s Christmas gift to you—this year and every year. There’s
just one stipulation—you have to accept the gift.
You
don’t have to wait for perfect circumstances or rainbows and butterflies to
appear before you have hope. After all, that isn’t really hoping for anything,
it’s just believing what you’re already seeing. Real Bible hope believes the
promises God has made in His Word. That’s where you get your hope from, not
from your circumstances. Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) tells
us that faith is a substance, and that substance is “things hoped for.”
Now pope Francis at the Christmas mass.
Pope Francis urges Christians to value the 'little
things in life' as he leads Midnight Mass at the Vatican - while worshippers
around the world gather for annual service
- An
estimated 2,000 members of the public and 200 religious figures attended
mass at St Peter's Basilica
- Pope
Francis called on the faithful to value the 'little things in life'
and show solidarity with the poor
- Worshippers
were seen gathering for masses in cities across the US, Sri Lanka, Iraq,
Kenya and Russia

--------------------------------
Anyhow, this is the
end of my quotes, and I wish that this Christmas is the end of the pandemic,
and next year everything will go back to normal, so, we hope for better time
next year, we need this break soon, may God help us to achieve that.
We are hoping for better times next year. .
I believe that the last two years have been hard for
everybody, mainly because of the COVID19 pandemic. So, we hope that next year
will be better, there are some signs of improvement, even if it is not a lot,
at least we are not scared as much as before. Some doctors even start saying
that this new strain called Omicron can be helpful, because people are likely
to become immune. I must say that this is the first time that I have heard
about it, so, there must be some hope that one day the pandemic can become less
virulent and become like a bad influenza.
Anyhow, what we would like to see happen next year? I am
pretty sure that most people would like to see the corona virus disappear, or
at least become modified and weak, so, even if you catch it, it will not kill
you, but you can become immunized. Then we would like to see everything go back
to normal. Perhaps not exactly like they were before, but with an added
improvement that we have learned during the pandemic. This may result that the
central government, will help anybody that needs to be helped, this may sound
more like communism than a liberal government, that is based on capitalism and
individual competition only.
Anyhow, the world has still many problems to solve next year
2022, the major ones are the pandemic, global warming, illegal emigration, and
many others. So, every day that passes we look at the news in the hope of
seeing some permanent solutions, but unfortunately at the best we find only
marginal improvement of some problems. Anyhow, let us hope that the year 2022
is a better year, and brings some solutions to the several problems that we
face.
I believe that this article is long enough, and I have said
the main things I have noted this month, so, see you next time in a month or
two, with another article like this one. meanwhile I will post other posts about other things.
See you soon.
