it saddens me a lot that most of us are partakers in worsening this phenomenon that could greatly affect the present and future generations. I hope we could start now and help alleviate the situation

Warming's impacts sped up, worsened since Kyoto

Warming's impacts sped up, worsened since Kyoto - Yahoo! News




WASHINGTON – Since the 1997 international accord to fight global warming, climate change has worsened and accelerated — beyond some of the grimmest of warnings made back then.
As the world has talked for a dozen years about what to do next, new ship passages opened through the once frozen summer sea ice of the Arctic. In Greenland and Antarctica, ice sheets have lost trillions of tons of ice. Mountain glaciers in Europe, South America, Asia and Africa are shrinking faster than before.
And it's not just the frozen parts of the world that have felt the heat in the dozen years leading up to next month's climate summit in Copenhagen:
_The world's oceans have risen by about an inch and a half.
_Droughts and wildfires have turned more severe worldwide, from the U.S. West to Australia to the Sahel desert of North Africa.
_Species now in trouble because of changing climate include, not just the lumbering polar bear which has become a symbol of global warming, but also fragile butterflies, colorful frogs and entire stands of North American pine forests.
_Temperatures over the past 12 years are 0.4 of a degree warmer than the dozen years leading up to 1997.
Even the gloomiest climate models back in the 1990s didn't forecast results quite this bad so fast.
"The latest science is telling us we are in more trouble than we thought," said Janos Pasztor, climate adviser to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Antarctic ice loss vaster, faster than thought - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

PARIS, France—The East Antarctic ice sheet, once seen as largely unaffected by global warming, has lost billions of tons of ice since 2006 and could boost sea levels in the future, according to a new study. Published Sunday in Nature Geoscience, the same study shows that the smaller but less stable West Antarctic ice sheet is also shedding significant mass.
Scientists worry that rising global temperatures could trigger a rapid disintegration of West Antarctica, which holds enough frozen water to push up the global ocean watermark by about five meters (16 feet).
University of Texas professor Jianli Chen and colleagues analyzed nearly seven years of data on the ocean-ice sheet interaction.
Covering the period up January 2009, the data was collected by the twin GRACE satellites, which detects mass flows in the ocean and polar regions by measuring changes in Earth's gravity field.
Consistent with earlier research, they found that West Antarctica dumped, on average, about 132 billion tons of ice into the sea each year, give or take 26 billion tons.
They also found for the first time that East Antarctica is likewise losing mass, mostly in coastal regions, at a rate of about 57 billion tons annually.

di kaayu ni big impact sa atu kay pirting gamaya raman ang pilipinas na contribute ani global warming. Adto ni dapat i yaw yaw mga big and industrialized country like US kay silay pinaka daku ug contribution ani. ang pinas pirting gamaya ra. Murag wa man gani nagpakabana an Gobyerno sa US ani. Naa bay lakang ang US government ani like reducing their oil consumption? bisag unsaon natu if kana sila di magpakabana, wa gihapon ayo..hehe

Don't you know that the Philippines is in the center of climate change? Haven't we experienced the passing of mere tropical depressions Ondoy & Pepeng? It's as though a Super Typhoon #4 is wreaking havoc.

Yeah, kabalo ko kita daku maapektuhan pero ako pasabot dili kita maoy pinakadako nga contributor...bisag pa ug kuhaon nimu an tibuok pinas or kuhaon nimu ang tanan pollution sa pinas, murag di ghapon nah ka epekto sa problema sa global warming. But i agree nga we can start diri para ma share sa uban..

Let's do something about global warming for the sake of our future generations.

The little things we do today to save our planet will be greatly enjoyed and appreciated by our next generations.

Please spread the word to your family and friends.

Global Warming is just a propaganda of US politicians so they can implement another scheme to make money in a global scale.

In the future we will all be taxed by New World Order people for driving a car.

Global warming has happened centuries before.
It is caused by the our sun. Pollution is just a small part of the problem.

I hope that the next Philippine President will include conserving the environment and coping with the climate change in the agenda.

I don't think global warming is just a propaganda. businesses around the world are making money at the expense of the environment. why do you think we have typhoons during summer? flooding in areas that usually not flood prone. isn't that enough to convince you that climate change is a serious problem?

the future you are talking about is now. when you buy a car, you pay tax. when you register your car, you pay the road user tax.
