PHILIPPINES: Albay province gets serious about climate change

Did CO2 really cause all the bad stuff mentioned here?
LEGAZPI, 8 April 2008 (IRIN) - "Ask the old people here in Albay province and they will tell you, they've never experienced this magnitude of storms and typhoons before," Nong Rongasa, executive director of the Centre for Initiatives and Research on Climate Adaptation of Albay province, told IRIN. "Every week there is a climate change-related event - high tides and heavy rains."

As further evidence, Rongasa cited a combination of heavy rains, high tides and sea surge that recently flooded Lagazpi City, the provincial capital. "It's just never happened before," he said.
If so, what caused the bad stuff mentioned here?
