This news item titled; "Bohol island-villages on edge of extinction?"
written by Ric V. Obedencio are all hogwash. I would rather call Ric
V. Obedencio an alarmist of the "gloom and doom" type than that of a
newsman who is concern with the welfare of the people and the
environment. The news that some of the islets of Bohol is "on the edge
of extinction" is alarmist reporting that even Ric V. Obedencio
himself does not believe in his assertion that the islets are on the
edge of extinction. Even if the cause is natural he did not give any
explanation but asserted more that this phenomenon is a man-made
disaster which he did not explain either... how come it be a man-made
disaster? Instead of alerting the attention of our local academics or
scientists [if there is any] what he did was to tell Boholano
politician like Vice-Gov. Julius Herrera about the rising of the sea
level. What he [Herrera] has to do with the rising sea level? Pugngan
nija ang baha? Hehehe.....
Accordingly some "2,000 persons keenly observed the rise of sea level
during high tide has been [called] unusual" but this can be explained
if only Ric V. Obedencio went to a person who has a keen knowledge of
the geology of the land. Since he went to a politician then the
explanation cannot be considered scientific but reasoning tainted with
politics. Newsmen in our province is a strange breed. If not always...
they mostly rely on politician's opinion in solving problems.
In my opinion the rising sea level on this islets can be explained by
sheer common sense even without the aid of climate science. These news
about islands and islets being breached by sea level is not new to me.
In the world today there are so many climate reporters paid to report about
climate change. Most of their news reports are propaganda. But Ric V.
Obedencio in his reports did not mention the exact date when these
islets of Guindakpan and Kalituban of Talibon to have been breached by
sea level but all we have is the information reported on Sunday
November 29, 2009. The other islet of Mantatao in Calape was reported
not so long ago as an islet submerged by sea water. If the islet of Mantatao
literally submerged as reported that means the islet itself sink to below sea
level. If Guindakpan and Kalituban Islets are breached by sea level it means
that the cause is the movement of the rising of the sea. Unlike Mantatao the
islets are not sinking but it is still overlapped by the sea level. If true then this
is where global warming theory plays its role.
According to climate change scientists the seas and oceans all over
the world is like a conveyor belt system. Warm water temperature of
the sea flow on top and when it reaches the polar ice caps the cold
temperature will bring the water down and keeps on a continous flow
until the flow of sea water reaches a warm temperature again that will
bring the water up. If this conveyor belt system is being disrupted by
the melting of the polar ice caps the systematic flow will come to a
halt. They theorized that this disruption will cause drought in some
places and flood in another as well as typhoons, hurricanes or
earthquakes and the rising of the sea level.
This melting of the polar ice caps is caused also [according to global
warming theoriticians] by the erosion of the ozone layer that serves
as a cover or gives a greenhouse effect on the planet earth. These
scientists blamed the erosion of the ozone layer to man's activities
by the burning of fossil fuels such as gas, coal and petroleum. Today
these theories of melting ice caps, rising sea level and splitting of
the ozone layer are backed up by leftist governments of the world and
in the United Nations. Honest climate change scientists who are
skeptical of their theories are left behind in the dark and not given
a forum by the leftist mainstream media which is why the news we read
is always favorable to the theory that global warming is a man-made
disaster. And of all governments only the US and a few of its allies
are vocal against the global warming activists in the UN and it was
only during the time of the Republican Party that the US dared to
challenge the theory of global warming.
I suspect the theory about global warming has a hidden political
agenda. This is a diversionary tactic by shifting gear to another
rallying point. Before when they were waving the banner of the hammer
and sickle nobody believed them so by ruse they changed their
political battle cry to a clean environment and global warming.
Let's go back to the fear of Ric V. Obedencio that Guindakpan and
Kalituban Islets are in the brink of extinction. I want him to explain
to his readers why he arrived at this point because this is bad for
the people of these two islets that their world is about to end. He is
sowing fear and the cult of global warming.
According to the theory the rising sea level is caused by the melting
of the two polar ice caps. If so... from what polar ice cap that is
going to breach the sea level of the islets of Guindakpan and
Kalituban... is it the south ice cap or the north ice cap? If the
melting is coming from the north... scientists theorized that the flow
of melting glacier will go down from the arctic Ocean to the Atlantic
Ocean. Therefore it is not possible for the melting ice from the north
to breach the islets of Guindakpan and Kalituban because Bohol is in
the Pacific and the surging melted water is coming from the Atlantic.
So it must be coming from the south ice cap of the Americas that the
surging melted water that will breach the sea level of the islets of
Guindakpan and Kalituban. From the South Ocean at the tip of South
America to the South Pacific and then the melted water will breach the
sea level of Guindakpan and Kalituban. Very strange phenomenon if not
logically flawed** Why not breach first the group of islands and
islets in the South Pacific which are also sandbars with the same
foundation and components as our islets in Bohol? Why is it that the
islets of Guindakpan and Kalituban should suffer to be sacrificed to
the cult of global warming?
Here's the rub** According to the news reported by Ric V. Obedencio
that; "climate change is one of the bone of discussions during the
three day (Nov. 26-28, 2009) Bohol Environment Forum held at Jjs
Seafood Village restaurant in this city courtesy of Bohol Nature
Conservation Society (Bonaconso), Pakisama and Foundation for
Philippine Environment (FPE).
Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer Nestor Canda
tackled the impact of climate change on Bohol ’s geophysical formation
and Mr. Nicanor Perlas separately dealt on governance in light of
climate change."
Climate change is a bone of discussions during a three day Bohol
Environmental Forum but where are the cons in the discussion. Why only
the proponents of climate change are mentioned by the reporter? The
three NGO's mentioned as Bohol Nature Conservation Society
(Bonaconso), Pakisama and Foundation for Philippine Environment (FPE)
I believe are all proponents of global warming that it is a man-made
disaster.
My only speculation in this environmental forum at JJ's Seafood
Village is that all the reporters that were present there are after
only the "sinugbang kitong, kinilaw and tinowang o sa isdang bato.
