Thank you!

Also, it is not certain that disasters are necessarily growing https://engelsbergideas.com/essays/when-disaster-strikes

Same with pandemics. They have always existed and affected humanity. Other than COVID-19, we have other ongoing pandemics.

Dear Ilan

Thanks for the valuable comments and links. I will certainly try to be accurate when summing up the poll. We started a similar survey in Ukraine. Unfortunately, this problem does not yet find support in the RG. I'll be doing a survey all over the world using friendly connections. I will be grateful for the reposts of this questionnaire. Perhaps, when summing up, I will need your experience, if this research will interest you.

Thank you very much

Roman

Dear Djalel Eddine,

Thank you very much for your support)

Is there any doubt that the situation on the planet is rapidly deteriorating? This week alone, there has been incredible seismic activity. Why don't climate scientists sound the alarm? Why don't scientists recognize their powerlessness to find effective ways to remedy the situation? If scientists don't know what to do, why don't they ask those who can give them the answer?

Turkey, my sincere condolences to you...
