		<description><![CDATA[House of Representatives, Batasan Pambansa Complex, Quezon City, Philippines, (picture by Thea Alberto). State of the Nation Address [SONA] of His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III, President of the Philippines, to the Congress of the Philippines. For the full length speech translated to English, please click here. Climatepatrol identified 20 finger pointings towards the old Arroyo Administration and 30 measurable solutions presented. Ex President Gloria M. Arroyo flew to Hong Kong. She showed no interest in commenting on any of the allegations, and there are many samples in President Aquino&#8217;s 1st SONA. While Loren Legarda, defeated running mate of presidential candidate Manny Villar, missed in his speech how to address the problem of climate change, Aquino claims to have started abrupt change with regard to any kind of waste of public funds, and there was a word on each of the energy and transport sector, corruption, a heritage of depleted government funds, lawlessness, government inefficiency, labor, health care. And &#8211; since there are far to little funds to meet all immediate needs, the involvement of the private sector played a key part in his speech. 1) This report is merely a glimpse of our situation. It is not the entire [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In view of their deep concern on global warming and climate change that had resulted in power outages, and caused damages to millions of pesos worth of agricultural crops, various environmental groups and stakeholders propose a Mindanao-wide global warming and climate change congress to help mitigate the current problem besetting the second largest island in the Philippines. Meanwhile, water level of  Angat Dam, Metro Manila&#8217;s main water and power supply and one of the power guarantors of other provinces and islands, has reached its critical level of 180 m. More brownouts are to be expected from Luzon to Mindanao. Mike U. Crismundo gave the impression in his Manila Bulletin (MB) article that jumping to conclusions rergarding climate change and to blame global warming even for power outages is politically correct.  After all, political correctness is what it takes to satisfy the readers of this government friendly newspaper. Meanwhile, other English newspapers of the country painted a much more differentiated picture of the problem. After the IPCC and its summary for policymakers have lost much of their credibility in the western world during the recent climate gate controversy (dubious temperature records, projections of future extreme weather events, glacier melt, sea ice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The inevitable has happened. The carbon neutral myth has led a corrupt government to rob food from its people. It&#8217;s the military junta of Myanmar, the cyclone stricken country! This is a press release by the Moroccan News Portal:  BANGKOK (AFP) &#8211; Myanmar is struggling to feed its people in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis &#8212; in part because the regime has been forcing some farmers to stop growing rice in a plan to produce biofuel instead. On the AFP website, the same paragraph is hidden amidst the rambling how the junta refuses foreign aid pretending they have everything under control. What control? The entire scandal unfolds as reported by this Morrocan news agency: Read about the Myanmar biofuel here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jean Ziegler, Switzerland, the United Nations&#8217; independent expert on the right to food, was right to call for a five-year moratorium on biofuel production in October 2007. Ziegler called their motives legitimate, but said that &#8221;the effect of transforming hundreds and hundreds of thousands of tons of maize, of wheat, of beans, of palm oil, into agricultural fuel is absolutely catastrophic for the hungry people.&#8221; The world price of wheat doubled in one year and the price of corn quadrupled, leaving poor countries, especially in Africa, unable to pay for the imported food needed to feed their people, he said. And poor people in those countries are unable to pay the soaring prices for the food that does come in, he added. &#8221;So it&#8217;s a crime against humanity&#8221; to devote agricultural land to biofuel production, Ziegler said at a news conference. &#8221;What has to be stopped is &#8230; the growing catastrophe of the massacre (by) hunger in the world,&#8221; he said. As an example, he said, it takes 510 pounds of corn to produce 13 gallons of ethanol. That much corn could feed a child in Zambia or Mexico for a year, he said. Benjamin Chang, a spokesman for the [...]]]></description>

Three years later, his prediction has now come true&#8230;   ***NEWS UPDATE 23 ARPIL 2008***GLOBAL FOOD SHORTAGE LINKED TO BIOFUEL USE Worldwide shortage of rice sends prices soaring &#8211; The Strait Times reported quoting a rice exporter: &#8216;In my 25 years of trading, I have never seen such a bad position.&#8217; As the price of rice climbs across South Asia, farmers and millers in Thailand are sitting on stocks and waiting for it to rise even further, said a top rice exporter in Bangkok. There is a rice shortage in Bangladesh and China too, among other countries, while there is a wheat shortage in Afghanistan. In local markets in Pakistan, the price of rice has gone up over the past month by more than 60 per cent year on year. India recently contributed to soaring world prices when [...]]]></description>
