4. WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?
• Climate change refers to any
significant change in the measures
of climate lasting for an extended
period of time. In other
words, climate change includes
major changes in temperature,
precipitation, or wind patterns,
among other effects, that occur over
several decades or longer.
• Climate change is a long-term shift
in global or regional climate
patterns. Often climate change refers
specifically to the rise in global
temperatures from the mid-20th
century to present.

5. CLIMATE CHANGE VS GLOBAL WARMING
People tend to use these terms interchangeably, global warming is
just one aspect of climate change. “Global warming” refers to the rise
in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. “Climate change” refers to the
increasing changes in the measures of climate over a long period of
time – including precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns.

6. WHY CLIMATE CHANGE?
Man made factors:
• Green house effect
• Gases that play part in climate
change
Natural Factors:
• Volcanic Eruptions
• Ocean currents
• Solar radiations
• The problem of man-made or
anthropogenic climate change is
important for two reasons. Firstly,
since we caused it, we may be able to
solve it. Secondly, it concerns us and
our descendants.

7. WHY DID EXPERTS FOCUS SO MUCH ON
ITS ECONOMICS IMPACT?
Economics is second to none in measuring the social importance of
such adversities. Monetary values such as costs of living, potential
profits and wages, or capital assets tells us much about well-being of
society even health loss can be appraised by looking at costs of
insurance and treatment. To some extent even forest damage or
wildlife mortality translates into money through gain and loss analysis
in the wood, agriculture, or livestock industries.
