3. Climate change is a long-term change in
the average weather patterns that have come
to define Earth’s local, regional and global
climates.
These changes have a broad
range of observed effects
that are synonymous with the
term.
What is Climate Change
4. Why we need to act NOW!?
Many disastrous and horrible events has been arising
today like forest fires, drought and rising of sea level. The
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which
includes more than 1,300 scientists from the United States and
other countries, forecasts a temperature rise of 2.5 to 10
degrees Fahrenheit over the next century.
IPCC states, "the range of published evidence indicates
that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be
significant and to increase over time.“
Let us care for the upcoming generations just like how
the previous generation care for us!
6. The National Institute for Space Research (INPE) has recorded more than
74,000 fires so far this year – an 84 per cent increase on the same period in 2018.
It’s the highest number since records began in 2013. In comparison, 40,136 fires
burned in the region last year. The second-worst year was 2016, with 68,484 fires.
“The dry season creates the favourable conditions for the use and spread
of fire, but starting a fire is the work of humans, either deliberately or by accident,”
INPE research Alberto Setzer told Reuters.
FOREST FIRES
7. “The dam's declining water level, lack of rains due to El Niño, and high
demand were blamed for a water supply shortage that brought misery to more than
a million households in Metro Manila in March.”-PAGASA
LOW WATER SUPPLY
8. When temperatures rise and ice melts, more water flows to the
seas from glaciers and ice caps, and ocean water warms and expands in
volume. This combination of effects has played the major role in raising
average global sea level between four and eight inches (10 and 20
centimeters) in the past hundred years, according to
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC).

10. This horrible events will
continue to happen if we will
not take action. Let us do
something before everything is
too late. We are not just trying
to revive our Mother Earth’s
original state but we are also
saving the future generations.
