What is El Niño and how does it affect global temperatures?
-El Niño is a climate phenomenon originating from the Pacific Ocean that can alter temperature and climate patterns worldwide. It involves the warming of sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which can lead to a redistribution of warm water, affecting weather patterns globally.
What record was broken in the Philippines due to the heatwave mentioned in the script?
-The script mentions that the highest temperature recorded at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport station in Pasay reached 38.8 degrees Celsius on April 27, breaking the previous record set in 1915.
How does the script describe the impact of climate change on the Amazon rainforest?
-The script describes the Amazon rainforest, considered the largest rainforest in the world and a global hotspot for biodiversity, as currently experiencing droughts. These droughts are part of the historical pattern of droughts that have affected the entire Amazon basin.
What is coral bleaching and how does it relate to climate change as per the script?
-Coral bleaching is a phenomenon where corals turn white due to stress, often caused by increased water temperatures. The script relates this to climate change, as warmer ocean temperatures due to climate change can lead to coral bleaching, which can result in the death of corals if the conditions persist.
What is the current global temperature trend according to the script?
-The script indicates that the global temperature has been rising, with an increase of 0.06°C per decade since 1850, accelerating to 0.20°C per decade in the last 10 years up to 2023. It suggests that the current year is also likely to be one of the hottest on record.
What is the Philippines' stance on renewable energy as described in the script?
-The script describes the Philippines' efforts to increase the use of renewable energy sources, with 7% of the country's power coming from non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels. However, it also points out the challenges, such as the intermittent nature of solar and wind energy, and the high costs and long setup times for geothermal power.
What is the significance of the National Land Use Act mentioned in the script?
-The script highlights the importance of the National Land Use Act, which is being pushed by the Climate Change Commission. This act is crucial for the Philippines to mitigate the effects of climate change and reduce the impact of disasters. However, it notes that the act has been pending in Congress for years.
Outlines
🌍 Climate Change Urgency Addressed by UN Secretary-General
The paragraph highlights the opening remarks made by United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres during a press conference on July 27, 2023. He emphasizes the severity of the summer heat experienced across North America, Asia, Africa, and Europe, attributing it to global warming. Guterres calls for immediate and dramatic climate action, stressing that there is no more time for hesitation or excuses. He also mentions the scientific consensus that human activity is the primary cause of climate change, which is leading to a rapid and alarming rate of change. The paragraph concludes with a call to action for leaders to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius and to take the climate crisis seriously.
🌡️ Global Warming's Impacts and El Niño Phenomenon
This paragraph discusses the effects of climate change, which are felt in various parts of the world and impact human life. It notes that seven countries—China, the United States, India, the European Union, Indonesia, the Russian Federation, and Brazil—are responsible for nearly half of the global greenhouse gas emissions. The paragraph also explains the El Niño phenomenon, a weather event originating from the Pacific Ocean that can alter temperature and climate patterns. El Niño involves the warming of the Pacific Ocean's water, which can lead to a redistribution of warm water, affecting weather globally. The text provides examples of record high temperatures in various regions, including the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Africa, illustrating the severity of the heat waves caused by climate change.
🌳 Amazon Drought and Coral Bleaching Due to Climate Change
The paragraph focuses on the current drought affecting the Amazon rainforest, which is considered the world's largest rainforest and a global hotspot for biodiversity. It mentions that the Amazon basin is experiencing a prolonged dry season, which is unusual and historically significant. Additionally, the text addresses the issue of coral bleaching, which is occurring due to increased ocean temperatures. Coral reefs around the world, including the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, are suffering from extensive bleaching. The bleaching happens when the temperature is too high, causing the organisms living in the corals to leave, leading to the corals turning white and potentially dying if the conditions do not improve. The paragraph also notes that global temperatures have been rising since 1850, with an acceleration in the last decade, making the current year one of the hottest on record.
💡 The Transition to Renewable Energy and Challenges in the Philippines
This paragraph discusses the energy situation in the Philippines, where 7% of the country's electricity comes from renewable sources, primarily fossil fuels. It highlights the country's efforts to build more renewable energy sources but points out the challenges, such as the intermittent supply of solar and wind energy and the high costs and land requirements for biomass energy. Geothermal power is mentioned as a more consistent source of energy, but its development is time-consuming and expensive. The paragraph also touches on the need for rapid construction of battery energy storage systems to maximize the benefits of solar and wind energy. It notes the government's efforts to increase the use of renewable energy sources but acknowledges the lengthy process due to studies, permits, funding, and return on investment. The transition to renewable energy is slow, and the country continues to rely on conventional power plants that use carbon and petroleum.
🏛️ Policy and Legislative Efforts to Combat Climate Change in the Philippines
The final paragraph addresses the legislative and policy efforts to combat climate change in the Philippines. It mentions the National Climate Change Action Plan, which is a roadmap for the country from 2011 to 2028. The plan emphasizes the importance of having a national land use policy, which would help mitigate the effects of climate change and disasters. However, the paragraph points out that the National Land Use Act has been pending in Congress for years and is currently stuck in the Senate's environment committee. The text also discusses the role of the public and the government in addressing climate change, noting that the government's response to the crisis is a topic of public debate. The paragraph concludes with a reference to a radio program, suggesting ongoing public discourse on the issue.

sa mundo nang dahil sa sikat ng araw at
mga pagputok ng

1,800 ang ginagawa ng tao ang siyang
pangunahing dahilan ng climate change
dahil sa malawakang pagkonsumo ng
tinatawag na Fossil fuels gaya ng coal o
Carbon oil o petroleo at natural gas na
karaniwang ginagamit para sa mga planta
ng kuryente at

[Musika]
sa Pilipinas ang mga pinakahuling datos
ay nagpapakita na 7 por ng pinagkukunan
ng ating kuryente ay mula pa rin sa
nonrenewable energy sources of Fossil
fuels sa p
40% rito ay coal o Carbon oo nga't
nagpapatuloy ang pagtatayo ng renewable
energy sources pero ang mga ito ay
nakadepende sa lagay ng panahon
intermittent o hindi tuloy-tuloy ang
nagigiging supply nito ngayong tag-init
uubra ang solar energy pero ang hydr
power ay bagsak kabalintunaan sa panahon
ng tag-ulan habang ang wind energy ay
dapat sa mga lugar lamang na tuloy-tuloy
ang malakas na ihip ng hangin ang
produksyon naman ng biomass energy ay
nakadepende sa efficiency at
availability ng supply ng feed stock
kaya may kamahalan at nangangailangan ng
malaking lugar At dahil ito'y pagsunog
pa rin ng panggatong May emissions pa
rin
sa renewable energy maaaring geothermal
power ang nakapagbibigay ng tuloy-tuloy
na suay ng kuryente
ngunit matagal mahirap at mahal ang
pagtatayo ng planta nito pero maraming
mga lugar sa ating bansa ang may
potensyal na mapagkukunan ng ganitong
uri ng
enerhiya sa ngayon
6.9% Lam ang ambag ng ge power sa buong
pangangailangan ng kuryente ng mga
Pilipino para lubos na mapakinabangan
ang kuryenteng nakukuha mula sa solar at
wind energy kailangan ng mabilisang
pagtatayo ng battery energy storage
systems ang teknolohiyang Ito naman ay
Nangangailangan din ng napakalaking
kapital sa kabuuan gaya nga po ng
sinasabi ng nakaraang
administrasyon pinag pagsisikapan naman
daw ngayon ng gobyerno ang pagkakaroon
natin ng mas maraming renewable energy
sources
ngunit sinasabi ho na naman ngayon ng
Department of Energy na ito'y
matatagalan matatagalan
dahil matagal ang mga
pag-aaral matagal ang mga permit na
kailangan sa kakulangan ang gustong mamu
ng malaking halaga at Maghintay ng
matagal na balik ng
puhunan at habang matatagalan ang
transition sasandal pa rin tayo sa mga
conventional na mga planta ng kuryente
na gumagamit ng karbon at petroleo na
siya ding mabilis

industry ito'y dinidiktahan
din ng mga most
powerful sa kabilang dako ang Philippine
climate change Commission ay matagal n
naglabas ng national climate change
Action Plan ito ay Action Plan ng bansa
mula 2011 hanggang
2028 at kasama sa pag-aaral na ito ay
ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon ng
Pilipinas ng national land use
policy at itoy Mangyayari lamang kung
magkakaroon tayo ng national land use
act itinutulak ng climate change
Commission ang agarang pagpapasa
nito at noon pa man tinutukoy na ng mga
Dal basa kasama na ang neda at DENR na
napakaimportante ng nalua dahil ito ang
makatutulong sa Pilipinas para maibsan
ang epekto ng climate change at tindi ng
perwisyong idinudulot ng mga

pero bakit nga ba TL taon na na ito'y
nakasalang at isinasalang sa Kongreso
hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin
na
ipapasa ngayong 19th Congress naipasa na
sa lower house ang panukalang National
land use Act of 2023
pero naiipit na naman ito ngayon sa
