Yes i believe it is in effect
of the Climates' Natural status
re Global Warming.

There are more, aside from
that phenomenon, there are
side effects of the said weather
incident.

The title of the story? please
change the word ''GLOBAR''
to 'Global'.

No I do not believe that Ondoy was triggered by global warming. Typhoons are a naturally occurring phenomena. However I do believe that global warming (or climate change as I prefer to describe it) can result in more severe weather conditions.
On the other side of the coin climate change can cause less frequent and reduced strength weather systems. This means for example that places that enjoy reasonable levels of rainfall may in future experience droughts, whilst other areas that may have been arid, could experience flooding.
Mother nature has a way of adjusting; however we must not push her to the limits of her endurance. The Earth will survive whatever happens; our challenge must be to survive with it.
The bottom line I believe, is that mankind should do all it can to reduce its pollution of the land, air and seas. Reducing, recycling and re-using.

global temperature plays a vital role in the development and movement of a typhoon, a hurricane, or a cyclone.

Typhoons are nothing, but normal and natural phenomenon. Long before the discovery of various technologies that brought adverse effects to our environment/atmosphere, this natural catastrophe has been recorded in the pages of history. So to speak, we cannot solely attribute typhoon due to Global Warming. With or without global warming, typhoons will always be there!
On the other hand, global warming can also be considered as one of the factors that can aggravate the effects of typhoons and other natural calamities.
Pero sa kaso ni Ondoy, makikita natin ang napakalaking kontribusyon ng korapsiyon at ang kawalang-disiplina ng mga Pilipino.
• Kung hindi sana ninananakaw ng mga nasa poder at pulitiko ang pondo para sa drainage systems, sana maayos ang daloy ng tubig sa ating mga kanal.
• Kung maayos sanang naitatapon ng mga tao ang kanilang basura, sana hindi nababara ang daluyan sa ating mga drainages.
• Sana kung hindi talamak ang illegal na transaksiyon sa mga opisina ng gobyerno at walang “lagay-system” sa pagkuha ng logging, mining at quarrying permits, sana hindi lubhang naabuso ang ating kalikasan.
• Kung wala sanang korapsiyon, sana napupunta ang pondong nararapat para sa mga rescue equipments and facilities. Marami ang namatay sa kadahilanang kulang sa kagamitan ang ating mga rescuers, etc.

Higit sa lahat, huwag nating abusuhin ang kalikasan. The force of nature is the greatest.

My answer for this specific question is no. Although global warming contributes for stronger typhoons, Typhoon ondoy is not caused solely by global warming. As we all know, typhoon is in existence since time immemorial.

I think the question is a little tricky and provoking.

Ang typhoon para sa akin ay isang natural phenomena yan. Kahit ala pa mang global warming may typhoon na. Iba-iba lang ang tawag dahil iba-iba rin kasi ang ating lengguwahe. Ang typhoon dito sa Middle East ay tinatawag nilang 'sandstorm" dahil ang hangin ay may kasamang buhangin. Sa atin karaniwang tubig ulan ang kasamahan ng hangin.

Pag gusto maraming paraan. Pag ayaw marami dahilan..

The irregular weather pattern around the world only confirmed scientist prediction of the effect of global warming. The extremes in typhoons, hurricanes, blizzards, high temperatures and rainful are now happening even at odd times. Storms and winter even on summer season. This global warming is the effect of pollution caused by so much carbon generated from coal powered plants all over the world. Coal of course are being mined in huge volumes to feed all these coal powered plants that made this pollution to high levels and as a result now this global warming. Unless coal pollution is not stop expect more of these extremes weather phenomenon all the time in the future. Typhoon Ondoy is a wake up call to all of us and we have to take part in the healing of our mother earth. No more coal mining and we have to stop coal powered plants for our energy source. We also have to take care of our forest to absorb and neutralized carbon pollution. Our government should be in the frontline in healing mother earth by promoting policies against carbon pollution like less carbon in our transportation systems, looking for alternative power sources that are pro-environment and renewable. No more coal powered plants and programs of reforestation. For us people we can do our part by energy conservation and conservation of our natural resources.
