Umabot pa sa 11th hour ng Blog Action Day itong post ko.
Climate change ang umuugong na paksa sa blogosphere sa araw na ito. Nagbabago ang klima dahil sa pag-init ng daigdig (global warming), na dulot naman ng pagtaas ng antas ng carbon dioxide at iba pang gasses. Nangyayari to dahil sa patuloy at malawakang paggamit ng fossil fuel bilang pinagkukunan ng enerhiya.
Ayon sa PAGASA, ang naranasan nating malaking baha sa Kamaynilaan na dala ng bagyong Ondoy ay epekto na ng pagbabago ng klima. Naulit ang trahedyang dala ni Ondoy nang rumagasa naman ang bagyong Pepeng sa hilagang Luzon.
Kung ganitong masama ang epekto ng climate change sa atin, ano ang maaaring gawin ng mga karaniwang taong gaya natin para mapigilan ito? Sa unang tingin, iisiping ang pananagutang pigilan ito ay nasa malalaking mga bansa at mga korporasyon at mga mamamayan ng mga bansang ito. Sila kasi ang matinding gumamit ng enerhiya ng mundo.
Ngunit dahil tayong lahat ay magkaugnay, kahit sa mumunti nating paraan ay makakatulong din naman tayo. May mga maliliit na bagay gaya ng paggamit ng tamang bombilya sa mga ilaw sa ating bahay, pagpili ng mas green na gadgets, pagpatay sa ating computer at iba pang gamit sa bahay kung di natin ginagamit, pagdadala ng sariling bag sa pamimili (di ba’t dati’y bayong ang ginagamit natin sa palengke?), pagtitipid sa papel, at iba pa.
Ang layunin ng lahat ng ito ay makatipid sa enerhiya at mabawasan ang pagsusunog ng fossil fuels na nakadaragdag sa pag-init ng daigdig, nagdudulot ng pagbabago sa klima.
Anu-ano ang iba pang kontribusyong naiisip ninyo?

Mas makabubuti siguro na disiplinahin muna natin ang ating sarili,
Sa pamamagitan ng pagtatapon ng basura sa tamang tapunan at hindi
sa kung saan-saan na lang.marahil ang hagupit na dala ng bagyong ondoy
ay parusa sa mga taong inabuso ang ating kapaligiran,kaya ito ay bumalik
din sa kanila.
The law of causes and effect,that deeply punished both the innocent and
the environment abuser.rich and poor suffered a lot due to the fact that
our country was surrounded with water.the flow of water was deeply
blocked,because the dumb people kept on dumping garbage everywhere.
Siguro,matututo lang tayo,kapag dumaan na naman ang maraming ondoy
sa buhay ng mga Pinoy.

Climate change is real. Addressing climate change requires a mix of mitigation and adaptation. This requires more mitigation for industrialized countries and more adaptation for developing countries.
This can be translated into one simple scenario : While the industrialized world continues to send up tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, whether or not we blur the amounts through carbon credits,
hopes are fading for those who will be receiving the sharp end of the Damocles sword; the developing world. The urgency is to realize that this is not going to stop at 350 ppm, or even double at 600 ppm, the Philippines has to realize that despite all the petitions and feel good campaigns of dreams for a climate stabilized world, real solutions need to be done. We have to get to the part where we learn
to start dealing with this. The country is located right beside the warmest parts of the ocean that is in the perfect storm of vulnerable coastlines, intense winds, and an observation of growing dumping of
large amounts of rain. We need to live in a world where climate will hit the poorest of the poor first, regardless of where they live, it will test our resiliency as a city, as a village, as a community, and
specially as a people. This song is dedicated to the awareness that dealing with one ONDOY is not the victory, but a climate of change will be the battle of this generation.
