This video was taken from inside the airport in Japan.
It is said that this is the first earthquake of this magnitude in 140 years for Japan. How do we prepare for something like this? The reality is we can prepare but it is likely that it will not be "enough". Will we continue to tilt the scale moving the needle on "enough", forcing us to redefine what "enough" is; if enough is measured by the loss of life that is "acceptable", will we have to continuously redefine acceptable because of our reluctance to manage climate change issues.
Although this is not necessarily a climate change issue, it could potentially be a consumption issue. As we burrow deeper into the earth for the natural resources, do the formation in the earth by default, have more wiggle room? I don't know (I'm not a seismologist) but interesting question to postulate.
