The most ironic part is those who worry and whine about rising oil prices because of this... GREAT! Lets lower the prices so we can pollute more! It's quite naive mentality, if you ask me. Unfortunately, its human tradition to learn first when its too late. And unfortunately we do not live longer than 60-100 years, so many people just give a fuck.
Anyway, you can be passive and pray, believe some fictive God will help out, or you can adapt that communication with mother nature does not work with diplomacy, but with action. Donate to victims is a good cause, but you can also play a little preventive part by signing on places like this:

of course something needs to be done but raising gas prices helps nothing besides make the oil companies pockets fat. studies have shown increases in gas prices do nothing. people can't just stop driving because of gas prices. what needs to be done is creating a whole other way of using fuels that are more enviromentally friendly. but you can blame the oil company lobbiest who have bush in their back pockets for that.
