2. Any idea what is a climate change?

3. EFFECTS OF CONSUMPTION
AND PRODUCTION
TO
CLIMATE CHANGE

4. WEATHER
•TELLS THE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITION IN A SPECIFIC PLACE.
IT CAN BE RAINY, SUNNY, WINDY
OR SNOWY WHILE

5. CLIMATE
•DESCRIBES THE WEATHER
CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN A
PARTICULAR PLACE IN A
SPECIFIC TIME OF THE YEAR.

6. WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?
•CLIMATE CHANGE REFERS TO THE SIGNIFICANT
CHANGE IN THE AVERAGE CONDITIONS OF
TEMPERATURE AND RAINFALL IN A PARTICULAR
REGION OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. AN AMAZING
SCIENTIFIC ACCORD HIGHLIGHTED THAT GLOBAL
CLIMATE CHANGE IS DUE PRIMARILY TO THE HUMAN
USE OF FOSSIL FUELS THAT RELEASES DIOXIDE AND
ALTERNATIVE GREENHOUSE GASES INTO THE AIR.

7. •THE GASES TRAP HEAT INSIDE THE
ATMOSPHERE, WHICH MAY HAVE A VARIETY OF
EFFECTS ON ECOSYSTEMS. THE RESULTS
SQUARE MEASURE THE FOLLOWING; (A)
RISING OCEAN LEVELS, (B) SEVERE
WEATHER EVENTS, AND (D) DROUGHTS THAT
RENDER LANDSCAPES ADDITIONAL
VULNERABLE TO WILDFIRES.

8. •A LOT OF FACTORS ARE CONTRIBUTORY
TO THE GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE BUT
SCIENTISTS HAVE AGREED THAT HUMAN
ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST
CONTRIBUTOR TO SUCH CHANGE.
BURNING FUEL IN FACTORIES, CARS AND
BUSES AFFECTS THE EARTH’S NATURAL
GREENHOUSE.

9. •THE HEAT OF THE PLANET IS
TRAPPED IN THE ATMOSPHERE
MAKING THE EARTH WARMER. THIS
PHENOMENON IS CALLED THE
GREENHOUSE EFFECT.

10. WHAT IS GREENHOUSE EFFECT?
• THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT IS THE WAY IN
WHICH HEAT IS TRAPPED CLOSE TO EARTH'S
SURFACE BY “GREENHOUSE GASES.” THESE
HEAT-TRAPPING GASES CAN BE THOUGHT OF
AS A BLANKET WRAPPED AROUND EARTH,
KEEPING THE PLANET TOASTIER THAN IT
WOULD BE WITHOUT THEM.

11. • BOTH PRODUCTION AND
CONSUMPTION OF GOODS
CONTRIBUTE TO GLOBAL
WARMING.

12. PRODUCTION
•PRODUCTION AS IN MANUFACTURING UTILIZES
TECHNOLOGY THAT EMITS LARGE AMOUNT OF
CARBON IN THE ATMOSPHERE. DISTRIBUTION OF
GOODS SUCH AS SHIPPING AND STORAGE IN
WAREHOUSES AND DISTRIBUTION CENTERS ALSO
PRODUCES HYDROFLUOROCARBONS THAT
CONTRIBUTE TO THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT.

13. •THE FOOD CONSUMPTION AND
PRODUCTION HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT
ON THE SURROUNDINGS. THE MEANS
WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO CONSUME
HAS EACH DIRECT AND INDIRECT
IMPACT ON THE SURROUNDINGS.

14. •AN EXAMPLE OF THIS CONSUMPTION IS
THAT THE USES OF ENERGY IN OUR
HOMES LIKE TELEVISION RADIO,
COMPUTER, CARS AND PUBLIC UTILITY
JEEPNEY THAT EMIT HARMFUL GASSES
AND CAUSED POLLUTION AND INCREASED
EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES THAT
RESULTS IN GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE.

15. CONSUMPTION
•CONSUMPTION CONJOINTLY VIA AN
INDIRECT IMPACT TOWARDS OUR
SURROUNDINGS FROM THE ASSEMBLY,
PROCESS AND TRANSPORTATION OF
THE PRODUCTS THAT WE HAVE A
TENDENCY TO CONSUME DAILY.

16. • EXAMPLES OF THIS PRODUCTION OF
GOODS WE CONSUME ARE THE CAN
GOODS, SOFT DRINKS, PROCESSED
FOODS, SHAMPOO AND MANY MORE..

17. DISADVANTAGES
•FAILING ECONOMY WILL HAVE A
DOMINO EFFECT ON ITS TRADING
PARTNER IN ANOTHER COUNTER.

18. DISADVANTAGES
•WEALTH AND POWER ARE CONCENTRATED IN
THE HANDS OF SMALL GROUP OF CORPORATE
ELITE PUTTING SMALLER COMPETITORS IN
DISADVANTAGEOUS SITUATION RESULTING TO
WEAKENING OF THEIR BUSINESS CAPABILITY
THAT USUALLY ENDS UP SELLING THEIR
BUSINESS TO BIGGER COMPANIES.

19. DISADVANTAGES
•INTRODUCTION OF INTERNATIONAL
PRODUCTS AND BRAND MAKES WAY FOR
BUSINESS DOMINATION OF BIGGER AND
DEVELOPED COUNTRIES MAKING THE
CULTURAL EXCHANGE ONE-SIDED IN
FAVOR OF THOSE WHO DOMINATE THE
MARKET.

20. SIX WAYS
CLIMATE CHANGE
WILL
AFFECT PH CITIES

21. • EL NIÑO, SEA LEVEL RISE,
OCEAN ACIDIFICATION ARE
JUST SOME SCENARIOS PH
CITIES FACE DUE TO CLIMATE
CHANGE.

22. •MANILA, PHILIPPINES – CLIMATE
CHANGE IS HAPPENING NOW AND
IT IS HAPPENING, NOT IN FAR-
FLUNG CORNERS OF THE WORLD,
BUT IN HUMAN COMMUNITIES.

23. LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTINUED
INCREASE IN AVERAGE GLOBAL
TEMPERATURES, WHICH CAUSES CLIMATE
CHANGE. GLOBAL GREENHOUSE GASES
EMITTED BY THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY
(WHICH GIVES US ELECTRICITY AND FUELS
OUR CARS) TRAP HEAT IN THE EARTH’S
ATMOSPHERE THUS WARMING THE ENTIRE
PLANET.

24. 1. MORE INTENSE EL NIÑO
•THE EL NIÑO PHENOMENON OCCURS WHEN
THE SURFACE OF OCEAN WATERS ON THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC BECOMES ABNORMALLY
WARM. THE ENERGY CREATED BY THIS
WARMING IS SO GREAT THAT IT CAN CREATE AN
IMBALANCE IN THE WEATHER IN DIFFERENT
PARTS OF THE WORLD.

25. 2. SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES
TO RISE
•BY THE END OF THE CENTURY, SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE BY 1
TO 4 DEGREES CELSIUS. THIS CAN LEAD TO
MORE POWERFUL STORMS BECAUSE STORMS
GET THEIR STRENGTH FROM HEAT RISING
FROM THE SEA.

26. •IN THE PHILIPPINES, 4 AND 5 DEGREES
CELSIUS SPIKE ABOVE THE NORMAL SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURE HAVE BEEN
RECORDED. WARMER SEAS KILL CORAL
REEFS AND CAN THUS LEAD TO A DECLINE
IN FISH CATCH, PUTTING FOOD SECURITY
IN DANGER.

27. 3. OCEAN ACIDIFICATION
•THE SHIFT IN THE PH LEVELS OF OUR OCEANS
CAN LEAD TO WIDESPREAD CORAL REEF
DEATH. BECAUSE OF THE IMBALANCE, SHRIMPS
ARE NOT ABLE TO DEVELOP SKINS, OYSTER
CANNOT DEVELOP SHELLS. THIS FURTHER
ENDANGERS FOOD SECURITY AND THE
LIVELIHOOD OF FISHERMEN.

28. 4. SEA LEVELS TO RISE BY 4 TO 6
METERS
•CURRENT DATA SHOW AN INCREASE IN SEA
SURFACE HEIGHTS. SCIENTISTS SAY THIS IS DUE TO
THE MELTING OF ICE SHEETS IN NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE GLOBE LIKE ANTARCTICA AND
GREENLAND. SEA LEVEL RISE BY 4 TO 6 METERS CAN
SUBMERGE LOW-LYING COMMUNITIES LIKE
TACLOBAN CITY WHICH STANDS 3 METERS ABOVE
SEA LEVEL.

29. 5. TROPICAL CYCLONES TO
INTENSIFY
• THE CREATION OF TROPICAL CYCLONES IS
ALREADY BEING RECORDED IN AREA WHERE
THE PHENOMENON HAD NEVER BEEN
OBSERVED. ON NOV. 8, 2013, SUPER TYPHOON
YOLANDA (HAIYAN), SAID TO BE THE
STRONGEST STORM IN RECORDED HISTORY,
DEVASTATED CITIES IN THE VISAYAS.

30. 6. RAINFALL, RIVER FLOW, AND
FLOODING TO INTENSIFY
• MONSOON RAINFALL IN THE PHILIPPINES
WILL REACH NEW HIGHS AND LOWS. SOME
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WILL EXPERIENCE
AN UPWARD TREND IN RAINFALL WHILE
OTHER PARTS WILL EXPERIENCE AN
INTENSIFICATION OF DROUGHT.

31. •THESE TWO EXTREME POLES OF
WEATHER WILL MAKE IT MORE
DIFFICULT FOR AGRICULTURE AND
AQUACULTURE SECTORS WHICH ARE
HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON WEATHER.

32. • PHILIPPINE CITIES ARE ALREADY
EXPERIENCING UNPRECEDENTED
AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL. IN TACLOBAN
CITY, RAINFALL INCREASED BY 257% FROM
1998 TO 2011. MORE RAINFALL WILL LEAD
TO MORE FLOODING AND CAN TRIGGER
LANDSLIDES IN UPLAND COMMUNITIES.

33. PERSONAL
CONTRIBUTIONS THAT CAN
ACTUALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM
OF CLIMATE CHANGE

34. AS A GRADE 12 STUDENT, HOW CAN YOU
CONTRIBUTE IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF
CLIMATE CHANGE?

35. •PASKILL (2018) SUGGESTED EIGHT (8)
SIMPLE WAYS TO HELP CARE OUR
ENVIRONMENT. IN EVERY LITTLE THING
YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

36. 1. USE REUSABLE LUGGAGE
•IF YOU'RE ATTENDING TO MALL FOR
SEARCHING LIKE GROCERY, FOOD, AND
GARMENTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO APPLY THE
PLASTIC LUGGAGE. PLASTIC GROCERY-TYPE
LUGGAGE THAT GET THROWN OUT FIND
YOURSELF IN LANDFILLS AND IT TAKES YEARS
TO DECOMPOSE.

37. 2. PRINT AS VERY LITTLE AS
NECESSARY
•USING SUCH A LOT PAPER IS DAMAGING TO
THE ATMOSPHERE. IF POSSIBLE RECYCLE THE
UTILIZATION WRITING PAPER FOR PRINTING. IF
NOT, PRINT ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PAGE TO
SCALE BACK THE NUMBER OF PAPER USED.

38. 3. RECYCLE
•INSTEAD OF THROWING RECYCLABLES
WITHIN THE TRASH ALONG WITH YOUR NON-
RECYCLABLES, RECYCLE THE MATERIALS OF
FINE USE. CREATE A DEGREE TO REQUIRE AN
ADDITIONAL STEP TO SEPARATE
RECLAIMABLE MATERIALS LIKE CANS,
BOTTLES, PLASTIC AND PAPERS.

39. 4. SAVE ELECTRICITY!
•USE ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIGHT-WEIGHT
BULBS RATHER THAN REGULAR BULBS. THEY
LAST LONGER, WHICH CAN SAVE YOUR
MONEY. MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF LIGHTS,
THE TV, AND OTHER APPLIANCES WHEN YOU
ARE NOT USING THEM.

40. 5. SAVE WATER
•WATER IS WASTED A LOT FREQUENTLY THAN
WE CAN SEE. SHUT DOWN THE FAUCET AS
YOU'RE BRUSHING YOUR TEETH. DON’T TURN
YOUR SHOWER ON TILL YOU’RE ABLE TO GET
IN AND WASH YOUR HAIR. LIMIT YOUR WATER
USAGE AS YOU WASH DISHES.

41. 6. AVOID TAKING CARS OR
CARPOOL AS POSSIBLE
•CARS SQUARE MEASURE HARMFUL TO THE
ATMOSPHERE. TAKING PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION, WALKING, OR RIDING A
MOTORCYCLE ARE BETTER OPTIONS THAT
HELP HE ENVIRONMENT AND YOUR BUDGET,
AS WELL AS GETTING SOME EXERCISE.

42. •MADAAN (2018) ALSO SUGGESTED
THAT THERE IS A SOLUTION TO EACH
PROBLEM, AND SUGGESTED POSSIBLE
SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE
NAMELY:

43. 1. STOP CUTTING DOWN TREES:
•CUTTING DOWN TREES IS THE PRIME
REASON OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE.
PLANTING NEW TREES CAN QUICKLY
SCALE BACK THE SPEED OF THE
EMISSION OF GASES.

44. 2. CONTROL POPULATION:
• MORE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS
SUGGESTS THAT ADDITIONAL DEMAND OF
RESOURCES LIKE FOOD AND SHELTER
RESULTED IN ADDITIONAL USAGE OR
UTILIZATION OF THE EARTH.

45. 3. LESS USE OF FOSSIL FUELS:
•THE HIGH DISCHARGES OF THE
GREENHOUSES GASES ARE DIMINISHING
THE OZONE LAYER WHICH GIVES GLOBAL
WARMING. IT IS THEN ONE OF THE MAJOR
CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

46. 4. UNPLUG YOUR DEVICES
• IN ALMOST EVERY HOUSE, THERE ARE AT
LEAST A DOZEN OF APPLIANCES WHICH
INCLUDES AIR CONDITIONER, TELEVISION,
MICROWAVE, WASHING MACHINE AND
OTHERS. THESE DEVICES LEAD TO GLOBAL
WARMING, HENCE THE CLIMATE CHANGE.

47. 6. CONTROL OF METHANE
LEAKS:
• METHANE IS A MORE POTENT
GREENHOUSE GAS THAN CARBON DIOXIDE.
EVERY MONTH, THERE IS A HUGE QUANTITY
OF METHANE LEAK FROM PIPELINE,
STORAGE TANKS, OTHER
INFRASTRUCTURE, GARBAGE DUMPS AND
COAL MINES.

48. 10. PERSONAL SOLUTIONS TO
GLOBAL WARMING:
• DRIVE LESS AND CYCLE MORE WHILE
GOING TO SCHOOL OR WORK.
• UPGRADE YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND AIR
CONDITIONER, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE
MORE THAN FIVE YEARS OLD.
