A LOT of people are blaming climate change for the El Niño phenomenon and the scorching summer heat. Well, there are two things we can do about this situation. We can complain till kingdom come or do something now to mitigate global warming.
On April 22, the international Earth Day celebration, let’s commit something for mother earth. This year’s theme, “Hamon ng Panahon: Climate Change, 10 Milyung Solusyon (Kilos na! Ngayon na!)”, is a call for everyone to do their share in protecting the environment. |

NUKUS, Uzbekistan – The drying up of the Aral Sea is one of the planet's most shocking environmental disasters, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Sunday as he urged Central Asian leaders to step up efforts to solve the problem.
