How Personal Actions Can Help Address Climate Change
- 1. THE CONSEQUENCES OF PERSONAL AND LOCAL ACTION TO GLOBAL AND PLANETARY CLIMATE CHANGE
- 2. Difference Between Climate and Weather Climate Is the usual condition of the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, and other meteorological elements in an area of the Earth's surface for a long time. Weather Reflects short term conditions of the atmosphere, it can change from minute-to- minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day and season-to-season.
- 4. Climate Change Is a term that refers to major changes in temperature, rainfall, snow, or wind patterns lasting for decades or longer.
- 6. 1. Greenhouse Effect The atmosphere is continuing to trap the heat that radiates from the earth and traps it between earth and space that’s why the warming of our atmosphere is actually happening because there are gases that can play a part in the greenhouse effect, and most of these gases will actually block the heat.

- 16. 4. Ocean Currents Variations in ocean currents can also influence climate change for short periods of time. Ocean currents move vast amounts of heat across the planet. Movement of cold water deep under the oceans towards the regions near the equator and movement of warm water near the equator back towards the pole play an important role in determining the atmospheric concentration of CO2.
- 17. 5. Solar Radiations The sun is the ultimate source of supply of energy for the earth’s climate system. A small change in the output of the sun’s energy can influence climate change. These changes include changes within the sun and changes in Earth’s orbit. Changes occurring in the sun can cause climate to become warmer during periods of stronger solar intensity and cool during periods of weaker solar intensity.
- 18. 6. Earth Orbital Changes A slight change in the tilt of the earth can lead to climatic changes. While less tilt means cooler summers and milder winters; more tilt means warmer summers and colder winters. These small and slow changes can lead to important changes in the strength of the seasons over tens of thousands of years.
- 20. Climate change has a massive impact to peoples’ lives, in your own observation, what are the environmental problems you commonly encountered in your community? What seems to be the root cause of these problems? What do you think is the possible solution in order to solve such problems? (20 pts) Activity
- 28. Wild Fires
- 29. Australia is on Fire
- 30. Heat Waves
- 32. Loss wild life species Wildfires, deforestation, shifting habitat have caused several species to become extinct, pushed a few of them towards extinction and the rest of them have migrated to some other place. If experts are to be believed, one-fourth of Earth’s species could extinct by 2050. In the year 2008, the polar bear was added to the list of animals that could become extinct due to the rise in sea level.
- 34. Shifting Habitat Prolonged heat waves, deforestation, wildfires, high temperatures have pushed plants and animals towards higher altitudes. The worst part is that most of them are not able to survive due to changing climatic conditions and have moved more towards extinction.
- 35. High Temperatures The continuous increases of greenhouses gases in the atmosphere have caused the temperature to rise which is called a greenhouse effect. Though the greenhouse effect is necessary for the survival of all of us on this planet but an increase of these gases beyond a limit will only create harmful effects for us and this environment. During the last century, earth’s average temperature rose by 1- degree Fahrenheit which in itself is a cause of concern.
- 36. As you can see, climate change can really be a negative force on our planet earth. It is time for you to take a look at the things that can be done to help improve the environment and help to slow down the process of climate change. If we can do that, then the world will be able to be sustainable for much longer. That doesn’t mean that climate change is completely avoidable though.
- 37. HUMAN ACTIVITIES THAT DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENT Some human activities that cause damage (either directly or indirectly) to the environment on a global scale include human reproduction, overconsumption, overexploitation, pollution, and deforestation, to name but a few.
- 38. What is CONSUMPTION and PRODUCTION? Refers to “the use of services and related products, which respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimizing the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as not to jeopardize the needs of future generations.
- 39. What are the effects of consumption and production patterns to climate change?
- 41. 2. Eutrophication The excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.
- 42. 3. Acid Rain Is a rainfall made sufficiently acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes.
- 43. Effects of Acid Rain 1. Acid Rain Can Cause Health Problems in People
- 44. 2. Acid Rain harms forests
- 45. 3. Acid Rain damages buildings and objects
- 46. 4. Depletion of Biodiversity This loss in the variety of life can lead to a breakdown in the functioning of the ecosystem where decline has happened.
- 47. PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT CAN HELP IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF CLIMATE CHANGE 1. Change what you eat You can fight climate change simply by eating less meat, choosing local foods when possible and buying food with less packaging.
- 48. PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT CAN HELP IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF CLIMATE CHANGE 2. Saving water at home Because the clean water that’s pumped to most homes has been treated, uses lots of energy.
- 49. PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT CAN HELP IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF CLIMATE CHANGE 3. Choose a fuel-efficient vehicle when purchasing, take public transportation if it’s available, carpool to school or to work, ride a bicycle or walk when possible.
- 50. PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT CAN HELP IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF CLIMATE CHANGE 4. Buy fewer new things because there are carbon emissions embedded in all things, we use day to day.
- 51. PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT CAN HELP IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF CLIMATE CHANGE 5. Recycling can help stop climate change
- 52. PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT CAN HELP IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF CLIMATE CHANGE 6. Changing a lightbulb to a CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) or to A LED (light emitting Lights)
- 53. PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT CAN HELP IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF CLIMATE CHANGE 7. Compost food scraps
- 54. PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT CAN HELP IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF CLIMATE CHANGE 7. Plant Trees, to help suck carbon out of the air and stabilized the climate.

- Are you surprised with the sudden changes happening in our environment? What have you noticed about the weather and your surroundings? Can the government cope up with the changes in the environment like global warming, frequent typhoons, and others? We are sure that humans alone are responsible in answering these questions. We fall also into questioning of what’s happening? Dati pag April, enjoy ko pa ang init ng araw, dati pag May lang unang umuulan, dati September hanggang February malamig pa. Dati kapag April hindi pa naman umuualan. Bakit kaya??
- Climate change is an eye opener for all the things that we have done to earth. It will surely comeback to us. It is a phenomenon where we need to reevaluate and reexamine our relationship to our environment. Since we and our environment coexist with one another, the scope of our concern and care should also cover non-human entities.

- Studies suggest that solar variations have played a role in past climate change. For example, the period between approximately 1650 and 1850 is known as “Little Ice Age” which may have been partially caused by low solar activity.
- Climate change can really have a lot of negative consequences. It is important to do something about it to help decrease the amount of change that occurs and make it not happen so fast. At some point, the earth will be too hot for people to live comfortably if we don’t make some changes. It is already having an impact on the plant and animal life, and if you really don’t want to see it get much worse- it is time to go green.

- In the last couple of decades, excess rainfall, droughts, hurricanes and floods have become quite frequent. While few areas experience plenty of rainfall, then there are areas that face droughts throughout the year.
- In the last couple of decades, excess rainfall, droughts, hurricanes and floods have become quite frequent. While few areas experience plenty of rainfall, then there are areas that face droughts throughout the year. Four years of consecutive flooding in South Sudan is causing a hunger crisis. Nyaruan and her one-year-old son Chuong, in their maize plantation destroyed by the floods. “Our farm was affected by the floods. We planted maize in June but in July everything was under the water. We lost all the crops.” In February of 2022, Madagascar was hit with four tropical cyclones: Emnati, Dumako, Batsirai and Ana. These storms destroyed infrastructure, decimated rice crops just weeks away from harvest and left over 270,000 people in urgent need of food assistance. From June to October of 2022, Pakistan was hit with one of the worst monsoons in its history. During this time period, heavy rainfall caused flooding and landslides at a rate nearly ten times the national 30-year average. The floods affected nearly 33 million people, damaged 4.4 million acres (about twice the area of Connecticut) of agricultural land and killed 800,000 livestock. Somalia has experienced 5 failed rainy seasons, drying up crops and killing livestock In Sudan, climate shocks and conflict are driving hunger: Last year, ongoing flooding disrupted the planting season while conflict prevented families from accessing farmland. An estimated 15 million people (about twice the population of New Jersey) are severely hungry
- The greenhouse effect is necessary for all of us to survive on this planet but an increase in greenhouse gases causes the temperature to rise which can result in harmful effects to the ecology and environment. The increase in temperature of the atmosphere has resulted in the shrinking of Arctic ice.
- Arctic sea ice reaches its minimum extent (the area in which satellite sensors show individual pixels to be at least 15% covered in ice) each September. September Arctic sea ice is now shrinking at a rate of 12.6% per decade, compared to its average extent during the period from 1981 to 2010. This graph shows the size of the Arctic sea ice each September since satellite observations started in 1979. The monthly value shown is the average of daily observations across the month of September during each year and is measured from satellites.
- The hot and dry conditions cause wildfires to spread across dense forests and make it a perfect recipe for disaster. They not only reduce green cover but also push forest animals towards higher altitudes. Animals that could not survive become extinct and get their name registered in the list of endangered species.
- Since September, at least 27 million acres of Australia have burned in one of the country’s worst fire seasons on record. That’s an area larger than Portugal, and more than 14 times the area that burned in California in 2018, the state’s most destructive year for wildfires. The fires have now killed at least 29 people and destroyed some 2,500 homes. The destruction to the country’s land and biodiversity is harder to fathom. An estimated 1.25 billion animals have been lost, and scientists fear long-term damage to many sensitive ecosystems.
- The large amount of greenhouse gases released from industries, vehicles, agricultural activities increases the concentration of CO2 and heats up the atmosphere. The increased temperature then cause heat waves and make it difficult for people to survive.

- Some parts of the earth are going to naturally be warmer than others, but as the climate changes which means that so will these areas. Warmer conditions may also lead to other areas not getting enough precipitation, and even some areas that may get more than they should. It will also cause parts of glaciers to melt, which could lead to flooding in certain areas and could make the sea levels rise.
- Prolonged heat waves, deforestation, wildfires, high temperatures have pushed plants and animals towards higher altitudes. The worst part is that most of them are not able to survive due to changing climatic conditions and have moved more towards extinction.

- Climate Change is a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.
- is a rainfall made sufficiently acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes. H2SO4 - Sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive strong mineral acid with the molecular formula H2SO4. HNO3 - Nitric acid, having a suffocating odor. Very toxic by inhalation
- According to the EPA. About 18 percent of methane pollution comes from food scraps that ended up in landfills. But if those leftovers, peels, cores and cuttings were composted, they would reduce emissions and help protect healthy soil.
