The HEAT is on!
"Its gettin hot in here (so hot)" -Nelly
"Hot, hot, hot, hot stuff " -Donna Summer
Ilan lang yan sa mga kantang may "hot" o "init" sa lyrics. Tama ang nabasa mo, init nga, at eto ang pangunahing problema ng Pilipinas ngayong summer. Hindi lang basta pangkaraniwang summer heat kung hindi napakatinding init na maaring magdulot ng pagkahilo, pagkahimatay at ng pagkakaroon ng heatstroke ng mga tao. Kung masarap lumakad at gumala, tiyak ko, marami na ring tinatamad lumabas ng bahay dahil na rin sa sobrang init ng panahon. Naisip ko nga, kawawa ang mga bahay na walang "aircon", at mas lalong kawawa ang mga pamilyang wala man lamang kuryente sa bahay nila. Isa ako sa mga taong, walang aircon sa bahay, kaya tiis tiis sa tatlong eletric fan (haha). Lahat umiinit, sinasabayan ang init ng panahon, tulad na lamang ng mga electronic appliances(tv,computer), kaya nga nababahala ako dahil delikado ang aking laptop(haha). Marami ding umiinit ang ulo dahil sa matinding init at sa kung anumang ikinaiinit ng ulo nila. Mainit na din ang labanan sa pulitika, POLITICAL MONSTERS WERE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, at marami pang nagsisiinit dyan. Masarap nga magswimming ngayon, sa mga pools and beaches pero malas mo kung kapos ka sa pera, pero pwede pa rin naman, sa ilog, ayus!.
Naisip kong magsulat tungkol sa kainitan sa Pilipinas dahil gusto kong sabihin na talagang napakainit!(haha) at may nabasa rin akong article mula sa GreenPeace na tumatalakay sa climate change dito sa Pinas.
"Maps show RP on road to climate change catastrophe
Greenpeace demands urgent action as costs to threaten millions of Filipinos"
Manila, PHILIPPINES — The Philippines is on its way to a major climate change catastrophe--that is, unless the government takes urgent and ambitious action to avert a disaster that will put millions of Filipinos at risk. Greenpeace issued the warning today during the release of never-before seen maps that illustrate the extent of climate change impacts on the archipelago. The group additionally called for strong measures to mitigate the worst effects of climate change to help the country avoid certain disaster.
The maps accompanied the briefing paper "The Philippines: A Climate Hotspot" which gives an overview of how extreme weather events and sea level rise threaten the country’s people, economy, species, and ecosystems. Notably, the new Greenpeace report shows how: 1) only 1 of the 16 regions of the Philippines is not vulnerable to a one meter rise in sea level, 2) the regions and provinces most susceptible to sea level rise, extreme weather events, and landslides are also among those with the highest poverty incidence, and 3) the cost of the impacts of extreme weather events brought about by typhoons and increased rainfall, already in the hundred millions, is steadily rising.The paper was released ahead of the conclusion of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) meeting in Brussels this week which updates its assessment of the global impacts of climate change this Friday.
