Climate change refers to any long-term change in average weather patterns due to natural or human causes. The main cause of current climate change is human activity like burning fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and traps heat. Impacts of climate change include changes to agriculture, energy demand, coastlines, ecosystems, and human health and infrastructure. To address climate change, we can take steps to adapt to impacts and mitigate further change through reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting renewable energy.

CLIMATE CHANGE It refers to any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity.
WHAT IS MAKING OUR PLANETS CLIMATE WARMER? The Earth is getting warmer because peoples activities are adding heat- trapping gases to the atmosphere. The gases that are produced by the burning of fossil fuels, use of chemical fertilizers and unmanaged biodegradable household and industrial wastes are called human-induced greenhouse gases.
WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE? AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SUPPLY More severe warming, floods, and drought may reduce crop yields. However, moderate warming and more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may help plants to grow faster.
ENERGY Climate change is likely to increase demands for cooling in the summer and decrease demands for heating during colder months. Sea level rise and more frequent intense storms could disrupt energy production and delivery.
COAST Warmer and more acidic oceans are likely to disrupt coastal and marine ecosystems. Climate change could put additional stress on coastal areas which are already stressed by human activity, pollution and invasive species, and storms.
SOCIETY Climate change could affect human health infrastructure and transportation systems as well as energy, food, and water supplies. It may especially impact people who live in areas that vulnerable to coastal storms, drought, and sea level rise or people who are poor.
ECOSYSTEMS Climate change can alter where species live and how they interact which could fundamentally transform current ecosystems. Mountain and ecosystems and species are particularly sensitive to climate change.
SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? We can address climate change through adaptation and mitigation. ADAPTATION It refers to adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities. MITIGATION It is a human intervention to reduce the sources or enhance the sinks of greenhouse gases.
HERE ARE SOME PRACTICES AND CHANGES YOU CAN MAKE TO ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE. 0Promote awareness on climate change in your home, office, school, community. 0Be prepared for climate-related disasters such as undertake necessary house repairs, store easy-to- prepare food , as well as batteries and first aid kit. 0Listen to news on weather updates and typhoon warnings. 0Take the necessary vaccines and vitamin supplements.
HERE ARE SOME PRACTICES AND CHANGES YOU CAN MAKE TO HELP REDUCE YOUR GREENHOUSE GASES EMISSIONS. 0 Turn off all electrical appliances when they are not in use. 0 Swap old incandescent light bulbs for the new compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). They use less electricity to give the same light. 0 Plant a tree. Your new plant and trees will absorb the carbon dioxide from the air. 0 Walk or ride your bike instead of taking car 0 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. 0 Consider or advocate the use of renewable energy such as solar, water, biomass, geothermal or wind energy. This will play a key role in replacing the worlds dependence on fossil fuel-based energy sources, such as coal, oil and natural gas which are not renewable.
GREENHOUSE GASES Greenhouse gases or commonly referred to as GHGs are those gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earths surface, the atmosphere itself, and by clouds. In short, GHGs are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere.
NITROUS oxide 6.0 % FLUORINATED gases 0.8%
HERE ARE SOME OF THE DIFFERENT GREENHOUSE GASES. CARBON DIOXIDE -Fossil Fuels -Deforestation and other land use such as land clearing for agriculture and degradation of soil. NITROUS OXIDE ----- -Fertilizer Use -Biomass Burning METHANE -Agricultural activities -Waste Management -Energy Use -Biomass burning FLUORINATED GASES -- -Industrial processes Refrigeration -Use of variety of products contribute to emissions of f- gas which includes hydrofluorocarbons (HFCS), perfluorocarbons (PFCS), and sulfurhexafluoride (SF)
WHAT IS A GREENHOUSE EFFECT? The greenhouse effect is a process by which radiation from a planets atmosphere warms the planets surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.
WHAT MAKES IT GOOD AND WHAT MAKES IT BAD? The Earths natural greenhouse effect makes life as we know it possible. Without the natural greenhouse effect, the average temperature of Earths surface would be below the freezing point of water. However, human activities, primarily the burning fossil fuels and clearing of forests, have greatly intensified the natural greenhouse effect, causing the so-called enhanced greenhouse effect.
