Phillipine Government Selling Goods


Since the Super Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines, many people went missing while others are dead. Their homes were demolished and food became scarce. With the donations that's happening across the world, many would think that such donations are helping the victims of the typhoon. Well think again. The Phillipine government is helping the victims of the typhoon. But they are also selling goods such as bread and milk to victims at a discounted price. It seems they are more concerned about the economic currency than the people.

Well. This is disgusting. I'm gonna share this link to everyone so you can gag with me.

Census ‘faked’ 2012 election jobs report

The unemployment rate suspiciously fell sharply right before the 2012 presidential election; now the facts have been revealed, the numbers were manipulated. Two years before the election an employee was caught fabricating data and a source says that this deceit was also escalated right before the presidential election, the unemployment rate is one of the most closely watched economic statistics, also. However, more than one employee has been caught for manipulating data, sometimes even as far as making up data. I begin to wonder if faith should still be present in the government and its agencies or if the people shall begin to question it. Check out the full article here.

Representatives from 132 Developing Countries Walk Out of Climate Change Conference

The Guardian reports that representatives of the most of the world's nations walked out on talks at the Warsaw conference on global warming today after representatives of wealthier nations, including the United States, European Union and Australia, said they would refuse to discuss the question of who should pay compensation for extreme climate events before 2015.

Important story that frames key issues as to who in the world bears the most responsibility in addressing global warming.    Take a moment to read.  We will be spending a considerable amount of time on this in class next semester.

Government Preparing for Impact of Global Warming

On Friday November 1, 2013, President Obama order that the government must put " effort to boost preparation in state and local communities for the impact of global warming." Natural disaster are affecting communities, our natural resources, ecosystems, economies, and public health throughout the United States.
One of President Obama goal is to reduce the use of U.S. greenhouse gas emission by seventeenth percent by the year of 2020.

With the government working with the states and local communities , and Environmental Protection Agencies to regulate strictly "on coal-burning power plants." I personally am glad that President Obama recognized the impact of global warming on the nations, and is taking action now to avoid problem in the future before it is too late.
