Will we loose the islands?

Global Warming is one of the most talked issues of the 21st century. We know that, the pollution is increasing even in a larger ratio when the world population is increase. Many countries should implemented “Green” policies, to protect the environment and future of the earth. These policies are increasingly being implemented in Central Europe in countries such as Germany. Recycling garbage, plastic, and even old appliances belongs to the strict regimen. Other policies such as fines imposed on littering, burning of waste or leaves, and even the encouragement of collective transportation have been imposed.
In the Philippines a Waste Management Act has been implemented. But some say that in our everyday lives; the sad reality comes crushing down on Filipinos that barely care for the environment. People burning their garbage in their home and on the streets, shower with the abundance of fresh water. All of these plays a big role as a contributor in global warming.


Let us see and analyze the facts about what caused of global warming. Many people believe (which is also true) that so called greenhouse gases that emit CO into the atmosphere which causes the rays of the sun to be kept within the earth atmosphere for a longer time, since it bounces back. This causes an increase of temperature, which in turn causes more natural catastrophes. Although this is the main cause of global warming, there is yet another cause, which has something to do with the cycle of our Sun. Every ten to twelve years, the sun is in its peak and vice versa. The peak is the solar maximum, which means that this is when the sun is the hottest and emits more solar storms than ever. This period should be the solar maximum of the sun, since the last was in the 90s. This is also an important factor that contributes to global warming.


Some people think that global warming does not really affected their life. Let’s see it again. Because of global warming Dengue fever is spreading much farther and faster around the country due to increased humidity. Global warming make the shores will soon move closer by a meter or more each year as impact of the icecaps melting. Global warming caused more and more floods on the islands and surrounding regions. Global warming make people hunger because their crops were destroyed in natural disasters such as storms, floods, or heat/dryness. Global warming threatens to submerge parts of Manila, Philippine and wipe out the entire islands. Global warming caused the increased of sea level, we will lose islands because of it.
