I disagree that people don’t make natural disasters happen. Because of people our environment is getting worse every day. It happens because of trash, factories and cars and etc. Mostly all this creates conditions for natural disasters.
I disagree that if we kill all insects with chemicals, the world will have fewer problems because insects like other animals are very important. They serve as food for other animals and also spread plant pollen.
I agree that people from Tuvalu have the right to live in any country they want but they can’t because neighbor countries have refused to accept immigrants from Tuvalu or will take in not much people.
I mostly agree that if the price of petrol gets higher that it’s now than people might not drive so much and there might be less global warming but a little part of me also disagrees because people need to travel by transport so that the movement is faster but also they can move by bicycles or other types of transports that don’t need petrol.
In this pictures I can see cigarette that isn’t extinguished and is burning. It was dropped on dry leaves so leaves can catch fire and burn. Than the fire from leaves was spread by strong wind and the trees burned too. Also as we see the weather is very hot which can help fire to get stronger. The fire burned that houses near that forest so people who lived there had to leave their homes. They called firefighters who helped put out the fire.
