After HAIYAN, PH to commit to 1.5 degrees?

We remember Typhoon Haiyan (locally Yolanda), which devastated mostly half of the
lands in the country, targeting the charted lands of Leyte; we remember lives
completely suffocated in the midst of the storm, but we never attempted to
remember the slightest chance of it happening once more, much more devastating
as the latter.
Thats why the Caribbean states took full responsibility in the UNFCCC (United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) to discern 2 o temperature rise,
even the 1.5 o, would undermine small island or archipelagic states such as the
Philippines, way farther than a 0.14oC increase in temperature in the country for
every 10 years, said Climate Change Center.
The study conducted focused on the oceans capacity in dissolving CO 2, leading to
massive depletion of marine life in the next 50 years. Also, the predicted global searise stats show a major effect on the distribution of planktons, fishes, herbivores,
and other organisms occupying much of the food web. Significantly, the Australian
Institute of Marine Science further relates the idea in their study that temperature
increase together with fishing pressure yields a greater chance of reinforcing reef
destructions.
This only states that the progressive increase in global temperature will result in a
much larger risks and threats, entailing massive drought and flooding within the
prone areas of the country, destruction in the coastal waters, and the tilling lands.
Consequently, the damages caused by these phenomena means a 15-billion peso
decrease in the GDP and the national budget per annum.
Other findings, however, lead to more typhoons as global heating tend these to shift
pathways, a decrease in number of rainy days, and an increasing cases of weatherrelated disasters.
In some cases, these are consistent with the global trends, together with the
alarming health-related effects such as dengue fever in 1992-2005 which affected
almost 40,000 people in the country and malaria in 1995-2005 with almost 3,000
cases recorded, and the economic-related decrease in the Philippine rice and corn
production for the last 35 years, says BAS.
Since Philippines is at the brink of abusing climate-dependent natural resources, it
offers a chance for it to suffer the greatest impacts of climate change due to lack of
finance, proper infrastructure intended for adaptation, and implementation of
environmental laws. Meanwhile, UNDP Climate Change Country Profile Reports say
that average temperature and precipitation have changed over time from 19612006, 0.21oC annually.

Some reports say that by 2030, there is a projected maximum temperature increase
by 1.5o from a minimum of 0.9o in the middle of the study trend. For instance, Kenya
will have projected 4.5o change in temperature in 2090, thus granting the highest
increase over the 22nd century.
Major typhoons and disasters have hit the country, more or less causing economic
depressions, including the risk of sea level rise in the Metropolitan Manila and
threats of drought in Eastern Philippines, more extreme events happening, more
lives disavowed, heavy rains causing landslides in far-flung and mountainous areas
and thunderstorms destroying man-made efforts. Is Philippines really too late?
