Letter to the Editor — More on global warming

The weather bureau says global warming is increasing. Ordinary men on the streets could not understand what global warming is all about. It's an atmospheric disturbance that only people with exceptional intelligence like scientists have the better position to explain about global warming.

In the United States Congress, the center of debate is the climate change. The scientists insist that the atmospheric disturbance is caused by the human activities on earth that cause global warming. Scientists recommend for the closure of big factories which emit destructive gases in the atmosphere that cause atmospheric disturbance that triggered the global warming.

Many have disagreed and one senator commented that global warming is a hoax. The closure of big factories in the world would have a negative effect on the global economy. It has a huge negative impact on the part of the factory workers throughout the world whose families would be economically dislocated.

The big question is: Is there global warming? And my small answer is, ambot sa langaw pilay edad sa kabaw.

Come to think of it, the year is now in the second month of February but in places throughout the globe where the temperature is below 20 degree Celsius, the clouds continue to fall as snow making the roads and bridges impassable and mountains of solid ice are all over. Snow avalanche usually occurred.

And in places where the temperature is above the 25 degree celcius, the clouds continue to fall as rain causing floods that kill human lives and animals as well as millions worth of properties are destroyed. Like for instance in Jakarta, Indonesia, the place is under water due to heavy rains. Hundreds of thousands of people are rendered homeless.

In the Philippines, the vegetables in Benguet died because of frost brought by cold weather.

Mr. Weatherman what is global warning all about? Please tell the people. Why are snow and rain now partners in giving problems to the people of the world?
