LO-Brett Robbins-We expect catastrophe' – Manila, the megacity on the climate frontline

Environment   Oct 4, 2016 by Brett Robbins

This is an informational article explaining the effects of climate change in the Philippians and many other countries. Climate change is causing extreme natural disasters such as typhoons, droughts, etc. The IPCC has found that it will most likely get 4 degrees Celsius warmer in the Philippines. This will make a huge difference! Climate change will show down economic growth, further erode food security, trigger new poverty traps and create hotspots of hunger.

I agree that many of these natural disasters are caused by climate change and these disasters are also probably causing great damage to the people living there. Also how much will climate change affect the Philippines' economy?

Exactly how would the economy would slow down in the Philippians? Less exporting products like foods native to the Philippians and selling them around the world?

How long will it take for the average temperature in the Philippines to increase by 4 degrees Celsius? Is that a larger increase than in other countries?
