En los últimos días han llegado noticias de varios lugares del mundo sobre grandes inundaciones. Australia, Alemania, Brasil, Thailandia... Viendo las imágenes, sobre todo las aéreas,  pienso que la tierra lucha contra el efecto del hombre de la misma manera que nuestro sistema inmunológico lucha contra la infecciones. El pus se lleva la contaminación de nuestro cuerpo como la lluvia arrastra coches, vidones, casas, puentes, carreteras... Parece que nuestro planeta esté luchando contra nosotros como si fueramos los causantes de su enfermedad. Aquí tenéis una selección de imágenes de esta lucha y tragedia para muchos seres humanos de todo el mundo.
