climate change, in your face!
While other parts of the country is facing the dry spell, others are also enjoying the rain and even are submerged in the flood. This is just one of the signs of climate change.
In Luzon, they are bracing for the looming dry spell while most of us here in Mindanao are rolling our trousers up to prepare for the street floods. In some areas in Luzon, the rice paddies have gone dry. But in other areas in Mindanao, some were washed away by landslides.
The water shortage in Luzon may also lead to power shortage. So what would this good government do to augment the power shortage? Shift to coal-fired power plant, that’s one of their options. But that’s a no, no solution. Coal is one of the biggest culprits of global warming. And yet our government is still eyeing it as one of the alternative energy sources.
