The
past week, Singapore’s skyline was blanketed by haze said to be the
worst in 16 years. The toxic pollution which surely added tons to an
already carbon overloaded atmosphere, was attributed to the forest and
land fires in Sumatra Island in Indonesia. The Pollutant Standard Index
rose to a record high of 401,To buy autoledbulbs lamp

particulate-filtering N95 respiratory masks which easily ran out of
stock.
The
National Environment Agency of Singapore regularly issued haze and
health forecasts. I can’t help but note, a bit wistfully, that despite
the enactment of the largely-unimplemented Clean Air Act way back in
1999, the Philippines still has to put in place this much-needed
transparent mechanism of informing the public of the state of our air
and environment since we have every right to know.
The
precarious development highlights an essential fact that we tend to
gloss over as we persist in the insane business-as-usual mindset: We are
interconnected. But, we continue to act as if we can conquer Nature,
when we very well know we cannot, and have to pay a heavy price for
this.Do you want honest solarledlight Ratings?
Scientists for decades warned governments that we are testing Earth’s
limits by increasing our carbon emissions since humanity started filling
the planet. The carbon level in our air recently breached 400 parts per
million, a folly indeed that only humans are capable of making in the
anthropocene era.
Burning coal is the number one driver of climate change.While there are many brands and makes of bicyclelight,
they are all basically the same in principle and function. To the
policy-makers and those who want a more visual and compelling evidence
of climate change, watch the multi-awarded documentary “Chasing Ice” and
be emotionally struck by the disappearing glaciers captured on camera
by a team led by photographer scientist James Balog and his Extreme Ice
Survey team.
Coal
burning has serious environmental and health impacts,which are not
added to the cost of coal. Researchers from the School of Public Health
at the University of Illinois at Chicago found that “The pollutants
generated from coal combustion have profound effects on the health of
local communities but can also travel long distances, affecting
communities remote from power plants, according to the review. …Harmful
air pollutants from coal combustion documented in the review include
particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NO2),
ozone, and heavy metals which can cause respiratory (lung) disease,
cardiovascular (heart) disease, and affect reproductive and neurological
health and reduce life expectancy.”
There
is no denying the vast changes happening as a result of climate change.
A recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey revealed that 85 percent
of Filipinos have “personally experienced” climate change impacts the
past three years. The vice chairman of the Philippine Climate Change
Commission was even quoted in the news to have said, “the SWS survey
tells us just how pervasive the impacts of climate change are to the
lives of many Filipinos.”
If
that is so, why is the commission, an independent policy making body on
climate change not stepping in to stop the needless and,We have the

the proliferation of more coal power plants in the country? Is it
because the chair of the commission is the President who presumably
approved these projects?

admirable leadership and success in shifting to renewables as the main
source of energy under the Energiewende or Energy Transformation Program
shows that it can be done without having to sacrifice economic growth.
There is likewise growing decentralization of energy providers in

Across
Germany, an energy revolution is underway. Dotting across the landscape
are hundreds of wind rotors – but even if they look like the giant wind
turbines you might see off the coast of the UK or the Netherlands, more
than half of them have not been installed by the big energy incumbents.
These are financed by private individuals, local energy associations or
nearby communities.
