Philippines: Climate change and fishing | Global Ideas 

Thank you so much for the kind words.

I agree it feels a deliberate

It’s sad really. Negating someones faith is so disrespectful. It’s not like the man was indoctrinating the viewers.

Her voice should have been left on the soundtrack and the English translation run as script. That respects the interview participant and allows the translation to be checked. Besides, Visayan is widely spoken.

4 kids is still a lot xD but yeah it is not 8 or 12 lol

Good luck to you!

Thanks @@ShineSun 🤗

Unless you give examples, I won’t believe you.

China's navy has bullied a lot of seafarers out of the Philippines own marine areas since they built military bases on artificial islands.

People always want what they don't have

Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today. Most intelligent words I've heard.

Most intelligent words I've heard. Crypto is the new gold!

‌I wanted to trade Crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price

@@mrmebel5235 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Raymond

Abandon greed. We need money on a societal level.

@@DannyDinPeled source on that historical claim?

@@IambiguousSegment why?

@@IambiguousSegment I think money is green given physical form

@@GaasubaMeskhenet Economics is how we conduct social relations. We do it with money. Money is a representation of property. Ownership is a relation we have made sacred. Labour is value; labour is virtue. This is the origin of economics; that a farmer works to improve the land and plant a crop. He invests his labour in the land and has to protect it until the harvest. Hence property. And hence barter, trade, money. The tool-maker likewise invests his labour to produce the means of production, and hence capital.

The students are having modular education from their enrolled schools. It is the implemented way for continuous learning during the pandemic. Modular is remote learning, where they get a printed unit from the textbook and pass it every week to exchange another set of modules.

36 degrees Celsius is normal even in the US

@@minim6981 Not here in my city (at least) here in the Philippines these past two years.

@@jeanninepoulin5285 sorry, I'm a non-believer in god/gods. But I respect your belief.

@@jeanninepoulin5285 I like that positive outlook, the earth could use a little breather from us.

Most? Most islands in the Philippines are mountainous. We have cities and towns 5,000 feet above sea level.

@@minim6981 Yes, most.

@@tjmarx Nope. I think you have the Philippines confused for some tiny island nation like the Marshall Islands. Search for this study "Parts of Philippines may submerge due to global warming" It says "More than 167,000 hectares of coastland -- about 0.6% of the country’s total area -- are projected to go underwater in the Philippines, especially in low-lying island communities, according to recent research." Even if the real number is ten times worse, it would still only be 6% of the land area. You're saying MOST of the land will be underwater. yeah, maybe in 500 years

@@minim6981 It's always fun when those who aren't scientifically literate, try to be. Firstly, that isn't a study, it's an article in science daily talking about a study ... From 2014, covered by science daily a year later in 2015. A lot has changed since then, Secondly, you chose only a single article to direct people to as if it's the only factual article. It isn't, and the article itself if you read it describes disagreement at the time over how much of an impact climate change will have on sea level rise. Since then there has been new modelling taking into account the worse than expected extent of climate change. Take the study "New elevation data triple estimates of global vulnerability to sea-level rise and coastal flooding" published in Nature (AN4844) in 2019 for example. It predicts that 10% of all currently populated areas in Asia at large will be under water. And that Phillipines will lose up to 70% of currently populated and arable land by 2050 between permanent tide and annual flooding. The IPCC's "Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate" released in 2020 predicts similar land loss for the Philippines, and 11% overall for Asian populated areas. Add to that, numerous Filipino islands are sinking at a rate of 60cm per year and we end up with sea level rise causing flooding for most of the Philippines.

Some islands in the Phillipines actually experirnce drought in the summer months. Camotes is part of the Cebu Province. Cebu city experiences shortage of water esp. during summer months and flood during rainy months. I had lived in the city center and the building where i live gets its water supply via deep well using a pump and during summer the well goes dry and we have to use pool water for showering since the building where i live has a pool they use pool water to supply the building with water. Unforgettable experience
