MANILA (ANN): New scientific research released last month warns of an increasingly ominous future for the environment.

People may think that warning is more of the usual, but something in the report should concern Filipinos in particular: In about three decades, the Philippines could find many of its coastal areas, including those surrounding Manila Bay, underwater due to the effects of climate change.

Other areas that will be affected include parts of Roxas and Iloilo cities in the Visayas, and Cotabato, Surigao and Butuan in Mindanao. Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro was clear about the culprit:"These are the effects of climate change," he said in a tweet."The costs will be high." "We might already have committed future generations to living with sea-level rises of around 10 metres over thousands of years," the authors said.

The Philippines is in the direct path of environmental devastation, so it's startling to learn that, for one, the Duterte administration had suspended a US$36-million loan from Germany to fund climate change studies, according to Mongabay, a nonprofit environmental science and conservation news platform.
