Signos Banta ng Nagbabagong Klima Sinulat ni Alvin-Christian Nuval
Maaaring magkaroon ng maraming masamang epekto ang nagbabagong klima sa Pilipinas. Mayroon nang mga maraming natural na kalamidad sa Pilipinas tulad ng mga pagputok ng bulkan at lindol. Kung natutunaw ang mga takip na yelo at tumataas ang lebel ng tubig ng dagat, may mas malaking posibilidad na magkaroon ng baha na maaaring sumira ng mga nayon at mga tahanan ng mga hayop.
ahil maraming rural na komunidad sa Pilipinas, dapat laging mainam ang pag-ulan para sa mga tanim nila. Ang sobrang ulan o kakaunting patak ng ulan ay magbubunga ng kalamidad. Problema pa ang mga landslides o pagguho ng lupa para sa mga tao na tumitira sa taas at baba ng mga bundok. Kailangan nating baguhin ang ating mga gawi para mapabagal o mabago ang nagbabagong klima para matirang buhay ang Pilipinas.

Climate change can cause a lot of bad effects for the Philippines. There are already many natural disasters happening to the Philippines such as volcano eruptions and earthquakes. With the ice caps melting and sea levels getting higher, there is a larger possibility of floods that could destroy villages and the homes of many animals.
Because much of the Philippines is rural, they need a consistent amount of rain for their crops to grow. Too much or too little can be a disaster. andslides caused by too much rain can also be a problem for those who live on and below the mountains. We need to change our actions so that we can slow down or maybe even prevent drastic climate change so that our country can survive.!
Ayon sa pelikula, may maraming problema dahil sa global warming. Mas mainit ang temperatura. !apos, may "oral blea"hing at bagyo. Sa pelikula, naniniwala ang #glesyang Kotoliko na ang global warming ay parusa ng iyos.
atapwat naniniwala ako na kailangan ng lipunang maging mas responsable. Ayon sa pelikula, may maraming madaling solusyong puwede nating gawin. apat na magsagawa ang komunidad na global ng progresibong patakarang magdudulot ng mga permanenteng solusyon.
"ccording to the movie, there are many problems because of global warning. The temperature is getting hotter. "lso, there is coral bleaching and typhoons. #n the movie, the Catholic Church believes that global warming is a punishment from $od. But # believe that society needs to be more responsible. "ccording to the movie, there are many easy solutions that we can do. The global community should implement progressive policy that yields permanent solutions. !
After exposing worldwide viewers to the consequences of climate change of ‘The Inconvenient Truth’ and ‘Eleventh Hour’, GA networ! started a "rea!through in #hilippine television when it released earl$ this $ear a documentar$ regarding issues of glo"al warming entitled ‘%ignos& Ang 'anta ng (ag"a"agong )lima’, narrated "$ *ichard Gutierre+, with reports from Howie %everino, a!i #ulido and *aff$ Tima And there it is, the consensus of most -ilipino scientists "elieve that the #hilippines is at the forefront of this environmental crisis
