    Study: Seaweed a resilient food solution in nuclear winter

Researchers discovered that seaweed can be a crucial pillar for food security in abrupt sunlight reduction scenarios such as a nuclear winter. Seaweed is found to be resilient in adverse conditions, so its growth and potential to enhance food security increases after severe nuclear conflicts.

    Bondoc, Jarius (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2020-06-17)

With the UN court holding Beijing liable for ecological damage, the Philippines can exact indemnity. China state assets in the Philippines and overseas rightfully can be seized. Government must press payment. Why and how was discussed last week by scientists and international law and relations experts. Over half of the 110 million Filipinos live in coastal communities, relying on marine resources for daily needs. Recompense will correct years of China atrocity and injustice in the West Philippine Sea. Foreign aggression in exclusive economic zones will be deterred.
