Climate change remains a major world problem

Five years ago, the nations of the world, including the Philippines, met in Paris, France, on the world’s climate problem – rising world temperatures due to carbon emissions from the world’s industries, causing the polar ice to melt, ocean levels to rise, and spawning more destructive typhoons and hurricanes.

A Climate Ambition Summit was convened this weekend by the United Nations and the governments of Britain and France to assess what progress has been made on the world’s climate since that Paris conference five years ago. The nations had agreed then to try to keep the rise in world temperature to less than 1.5 degrees Celsius and each country submitted its commitment to take steps to help reach that goal.
