Climate Scare

One issue I'm most interested in now is "climate change." I am afraid for mother earth, for my family, for the future of the world. Parts of the US are experiencing very cold snow storms while here in the Philippines, we are experiencing the stinging effect of El Nino. Rotational brownouts are even implemented to regulate the use of electricity since we use hydroelectric power and there is now scarcity in the water resource to fuel our hydroelectric power plants. The world is in a bad shape; fragile state; scary times. We all need to do something about it before it gets too late. The time is now.

LATEST IMAGE: Aral gone awry

The Aral Sea, located in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in central Asia. Left: 2000. Middle: 2004. Right: 2009. Once one of the largest inland bodies of salty reservoirs in the world and the second largest sea in Asia, the Aral Sea has shrunk dramatically over the last 30 years. One of the main reasons why is crop irrigation: water has been drawn off by upstream feeder streams. As the sea diminishes, noticeable changes in climate conditions and increasing sandstorms are affecting the area.
