Eugenio Saddened After Typhoon Yolanda's Onslaught

Below is a repost of an article posted in a micronation's news website written by yours truly:

MARIKINA CITY, Philippines - The Chairperson Ordinary of the State of Ariana, Darwin Eugenio, emotionally expressed his heartfelt condolences to the victims of Climate Change-enhanced Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda).

"Diri maupay. (Not good.)" Mr. Eugenio answered in the Waray language when asked about the status of Leyte after the onslaught of Typhoon Yolanda. (The damages brought by Typhoon Yolanda is immense, according to news agencies.) "My maternal relatives are there. We have no idea what happened to them. Judging the damage reported by reputable news agencies, I believe the houses of my aunts and uncles who live in Tacloban, Palo, and Tolosa suffered the same fate. I hope and pray that they are fine and safe." he added. 

The State of Ariana has no citizens living in the Philippines' Visayas regions. Nevertheless, the state is constantly updating itself on news about the region.

Climate Change Could be a Cause

It is reported that there is a probability that Climate Change may have enhanced the typhoon's power. John Vidal of The Guardian wrote:

As the oceans warm with climate change, there is extra energy in the system. Storms may not be increasing in frequency but Pacific ocean waters are warming faster than expected, and there is a broad scientific consensus that typhoons are now increasing in strength.

The CPO is a firm believer of the fact that Climate Change is happening right now. "The issue is not whether humans are to blame. It is how we will adapt that determines our survival. We must exert all efforts to at least slow it down and mitigate the effects of Climate Change." CPO Eugenio declared in his personal blog. 

The State of Ariana's centrist economic structure also helps in its aim to become the first carbon-zero micronation by 2020. 

Epic Pokemon Music

The above video is a Metal Version of the video game music of a battle against Team Plasma in Pokémon Black and White. It's so epic I believe it should be one of the theme music of my stories, especially the Season 1 series finale "The Siege of Pugmax" (Imperial Stories story arc).
