MANILA, Philippines—The remarks made by President Rodrigo Duterte against United Nations (UN) climate change conferences articulate the country’s frustration over the lack of sanctions for big polluting countries. The emission is still rising and the impacts are still intensifying,” Salceda, chair of the House panel on climate change, told reporters. “He actually articulates the national frustration with the global state of play with respect to climate change. Taon-taon halos umaabot ng .4 percent ng GDP (Gross Domestic Product) ang impacts ng climate change sa atin,” he added. (Editor: Mike U.
