Further climate change effects reported in the US. Fishing destroys reefs in disputed Spratlys: biologists Fishing methods destroy corals in South China Sea. A team of marine biologists from the Western Philippines University have studied coral reefs in the chain of islands and atolls of the Spratlys, located between the Philippines and Âu Lạc (Vietnam). They found that, due to a lack of regulations, fishermen are using highly destructive cyanide and air compressors to catch fish, causing great destruction to the coral. Philippine scientists, we are appreciative of this understanding. We pray that people become aware of the environmental damage resulting from their actions that eventually affects all life.

Global Warming Sticker Shock Not addressing climate change could cost US$3.8 trillion per year by century’s end. A study prepared by Tufts University of Massachusetts, USA on behalf of the US-based National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has concluded that the costs from global warming-related hurricane damage, real estate losses, and higher energy and water costs in the USA will amount to US$1.9 trillion by 2100. The researchers also estimate that a failure to curb carbon emissions will lead to an average 13 degrees Fahrenheit temperature rise in the United States. NRDC Climate Center head Dan Lashof stated, “The longer we wait, the more painful and expensive the consequences will be.” Our deep appreciation, Tufts researchers and NRDC, for your efforts to provide us with this urgent information. May your research findings be taken into full account in all personal, governmental and corporate planning for the sake of our Earthly survival.
