DISCUSSION:

This reaserch is about raise awareness on the implications of unstoppable rising of sea level in the
philippines, The report means that for a Pacific island that is prone to climate change, the effects we
are witnessing such as impacts of tropical cyclones to the country will only get worse.

It way the affects we’re already seeing now for example, affects of tropical cyclone occurrences all
around the country they’re going to get
worse.(https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2021/08/11/2119222/what-does-un-climate-report-
mean-philippines-expert-says-stronger-cyclones-faster-sea-level-rise) The projection is that at the
same time as the variety of tropical cyclones might not increase, its depth will virtually increase,
because the global average is 3.7 millimeter per year but in visayas were the study is held they located
out that the ocean degree upward thrust is occurring 4 instances 3.7 millimeters in keeping with year.
3.7 millimeters instances 4. That’s a couple of centimeter each year visayas is experiencing a sea level
rise faster than that of the global average. (https://icsc.ngo/ph-sea-level-rise-may-be-faster-than-

IPCC warned that the average global temperature will likely breach the 1.5-degree Celsius warming
threshold within the next 20 years, bringing more extreme weather events. Human activities have
already heated the Earth by 1.1°C.

Continued sea level rise driven by climate change will affect coastal communities in the country, Tibig
also said, warning that some islands may be submerged underwater if the rise in sea levels is not
decelerated. Meteorologist and climatologist Lourdes Tibig said a coastal island in Visayas may be
experiencing a sea level rise faster than that of the global average.

“The global average is 3.7 millimeters per year. In Visayas islands, in that particular study site, they
found out that the sea level rise is happening four times 3.7 millimeters per year. 3.7 millimeters
times four. (https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2021/08/11/2119222/what-does-un-climate-

It is good to be aware of our surroundings because we might not know what will happen, this study
shows that how could be dangerous the sea level rising ocean level ascent represents a serious danger
to beach front life all over the planet. Results incorporate expanded force of tempest floods, flooding,
and harm to beach front regions. As a rule, this is where enormous populace communities are
situated, notwithstanding delicate untamed life natural surroundings.Simple thing ordinary people
can do is plant more trees, use natural resources sustainably–meaning there’s a limit to natural
resources. We need to learn to use it sustainably. We don’t use it as if there’s no tomorrow.
