🌍 Climate Change: A Global Emergency
This paragraph discusses the critical issue of climate change and its impacts on our planet. Experts have confirmed that we are facing a 'code red' situation with significant changes to our climate, primarily due to human activities causing global warming. The script explains the science behind climate change, including the greenhouse effect and the role of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2). It highlights that CO2 emissions come not only from human respiration but also from fossil fuels and natural gas. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports a 1.09°C increase in global temperature since the time of Rizal, attributing this to human activities. The paragraph also touches on the consequences of climate change, such as more frequent and severe storms like Yolanda, rising sea levels due to melting ice caps, and the potential for diseases previously confined to the Arctic to spread. It emphasizes the need for action, suggesting that industries like energy, transport, cement, steel, and agriculture must reduce carbon emissions. The importance of international cooperation and the adoption of clean and renewable energy sources is also stressed, with a call for leaders to treat environmental sustainability as a critical issue, not a side issue.
🤗 Collective Action for the Environment
The second paragraph serves as a call to action, emphasizing that environmental issues are not just individual concerns but a collective responsibility. It features Briane dela Peña from GMA News, who encourages everyone to recognize that we all have a role to play in addressing environmental challenges. The message is clear: it's not just about one person's or another's issue, but a shared concern that requires the involvement and effort of everyone. This paragraph acts as a bridge from the detailed discussion of climate change in the first paragraph to potential solutions and actions that can be taken by individuals and communities.

Transcripts
Kung hindi nasusunog,
nalulunod!
Akala n'yo ba, sa pelikula
lang nangyayari ito?
Sa ngayon, totoong buhay na
ang mga ito at hindi na palabas.
Kumpirmado ng mga eksperto:
Code red na ang nangyayaring
pagbabago sa klima
sa ating planeta.
Ayon sa ulat, tao at ang ginagawa nito
ang dahilan ng patuloy na global warming.
Pero para maunawaan natin kung ano
ang ibig sabihin niyan,
throwback muna tayo sa mga science lesson natin.
Climate change ang tawag
sa pagbabago sa kinagisnang klima.
Tumataas ang temperatura ng mundo.
In short, global warming.
Pinatitindi ito ng greenhouse effect,
kung saan tina-trap ng greenhouse gases
ang init na galing sa araw.
Pinaka-binabantayan ngayon ang greenhouse gas
na carbon dioxide o CO2.
At hindi lang ito galing sa hininga ng tao.
Naglalabas din ng CO2
ang fossil fuel at natural gas.
So, yes, pati petrolyo,
nakakadagdag sa greenhouse effect.
Ayon sa report ng United Nations body
na Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
1.09°C na ang itinaas
ng global temperature
mula noong panahon ni Rizal.
At hindi ito dahil sa bulkan o sa araw.
Dahil ito sa tao.
Scientists were quite careful
about making that connection.
But this time, they said,
"No, it is quite clear,"
we see the human signature,
kumbaga.
Dating miyembro ng IPCC
si Fr. Jett Villarin, SJ.
Aling mga industry, Father,
ang dapat bantayan
when it comes to carbon emissions?
Well, energy,
especially if the source of your electricity
is coal, fossil fuel,
which is the usual case in the Philippines.
Transport.
'Yung gasolina, carbon iyan, e.
Cement and steel.
We will have to think creatively
about how we build our cities.
Agriculture is another sector
we need to look at.
Livestock.
Sinang-ayunan din niya ang nakasaad sa report,
na patikim pa lang
ang mga nararanasang extreme weather conditions
sa iba't ibang bahagi ng mundo.
Sabihin natin, 'yung Yolanda,
once in 100 years lang iyan dumarating.
We might see more frequent Yolandas.
So you cannot just say,
"Lagi tayong binabagyo."
Oo.
Pero 'yung tindi
ng bagyo ang magbabago.
'Di lang iyan,
patuloy rin ang pagtaas
ng antas ng tubig dala ng pagkatunaw
ng malalaking tipak ng yelo.
Panganib ang dala nito
sa mga nakatira sa dalampasigan.
Maaari silang anurin
ng daluyong o storm surge.
At kinalaunan, maaaring mabura
sa mapa ang ibang lugar.
Wala pa riyan ang mga sakit
na dati'y nakakulong lang sa mga yelo,
at ngayo'y pwede nang kumawala sa hangin.
Mukhang ang daming
nakaambang panganib.
May magagawa pa ba?
Para kay Fr. Villarin,
panahon na upang bigyang-tuon
ng mga korporasyon
ang clean at renewable.
Right now, people sometimes say,
"Clean is expensive, e.
To be clean, you need to spend."
Well, expensive is relative,
and we can make things less expensive.
We can actually influence the market.
It's not just individual choices.
Sana rin daw, makipagtulungan
sa international community
ang mga susunod na pinuno ng bansa
upang malunasan ang krisis sa kalikasan.
I hope that that person
will not treat environment
as a side issue,
like a side dish.
It's not a side dish.
Sustainability is a real issue.
Dahil sa huli, ang makikinabang...
o mapapahamak
sa mga desisyon natin ngayon
ay ang susunod na henerasyon.
"This time, there's time
to avert a catastrophe."
So ayan, mga Kapuso.
Hindi maganda ang balitang dala
ng IPCC report
tungkol sa climate change.
Pero hindi ibig sabihin nito
ay wala nang pag-asa.
Kailangan ngayon
ang pagkilos at pakikisama ng bawat isa.
dahil hindi lang isyu mo,
o isyu ko ang kalikasan.
Lahat tayo, may magagawa.
