This document summarizes a presentation on climate change, adaptation, and farmers' perceptions in Bahir Dar Zuria District, Ethiopia. It provides evidence of climate change globally and in Ethiopia through increasing temperatures, rising CO2 levels, shrinking glaciers and ice caps, and more frequent droughts. Analysis of climate trends in the district show increasing maximum temperatures, increasing minimum temperatures, and decreasing rainfall. Farmers reported perceptions of increased temperatures, decreased and late rainfall. While farmers are adapting through practices like crop diversification, their efforts are constrained by lack of resources and services. The conclusions are that Ethiopia is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts on agriculture and that coordinated action is needed.

Global warming is caused by greenhouse gas emissions trapping heat in the atmosphere. It has led to increased average global temperatures by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. Some effects of global warming include more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and threats to plant and animal species. While some recent data shows ice gain in parts of Antarctica, scientists agree this is actually caused by global warming through ocean warming and increased freshwater runoff from melting glaciers diluting sea water and allowing it to freeze more easily. Overall, the scientific consensus remains that global warming poses severe risks to both human and natural systems.
Extent of climate change over India & its projected impact on Indian agricult...India Water Portal
Climate change is projected to have a significant impact on Indian agriculture. Higher temperatures could reduce yields of major crops like wheat and rice. A 2°C increase in temperatures could decrease rice yields by 0.75 tons per hectare. Wheat crop could decrease by 600 kg per hectare for every 1°C rise in temperatures. Climate change may also increase the probability of droughts negatively impacting rain-fed agriculture, which accounts for 60% of India's cropped area. Overall, climate change poses a major threat to India's food security and agriculture-dependent economy.
Thomas and Nicolas: the greenhouse effectsysraphael
The greenhouse effect occurs when greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, warming the planet. Without this natural greenhouse effect, Earth would be too cold to support life. However, human activities like burning fossil fuels have increased greenhouse gas levels, enhancing the greenhouse effect and leading to climate change. If emissions continue unabated, the planet could warm by 5 degrees Celsius, sea levels could rise a meter, and coastal cities may be flooded as polar ice caps melt, displacing millions of people. Collective action is needed to transition to renewable energy and reduce emissions in order to curb climate change impacts.
This document discusses heat waves and their impacts on human health. It notes that several thousand people die worldwide each year from heat stress, with most deaths in North America occurring in southeastern US cities. Severe urban pollution may exacerbate the effects of heat waves. The document provides information on heat disorders in humans at different temperatures and humidity levels. It also summarizes a deadly 2003 heat wave in Europe and discusses the potential impacts of climate change on increasing the frequency and severity of heat waves.
Climate is the average weather over a long period and we expect it to remain relatively constant. CC is the single biggest long-term problem we face - the evidence is overwhelming. CC is a far greater threat to the world than international terrorism.
CC is not science fiction……and will soon prove to be a dead-end road for everyone. The key is actually discarding the idea that in order for a country to get rich, stay rich and get richer, you have to put more GHG in the atmosphere. That isn't true and it hasn't been true for years….. If we don't deal with this immediately, we will have island nations flooded; agricultural balance of most countries completely changed; a dramatic increase in the number of severe, unmanageable weather events and epidemic of unknown diseases. Our natural environment is very important in the aspects of peace because when we destroy our resources and our resources become scarce, we fight over that hastening CC.
Global warming refers to the rise in Earth's average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases. The key signs are rising global temperatures, sea levels, and extreme weather events. For the Philippines, this means more intense typhoons, floods, droughts and rising seas that threaten coastal communities, agriculture, and food security. Individual actions like conserving energy, planting trees, and supporting renewable energy can help mitigate global warming.

Climate change in Sudan and related tasks for the science, Extreme events and...ipcc-media
Climate change is affecting Sudan in several ways:
- Temperatures are increasing in most parts of the country based on temperature anomaly data from several cities between 1980-2016.
- Rainfall patterns are also changing, with some areas like Dongola receiving less rain and others like Elgadarif receiving more variable amounts.
- Sudan has experienced increased extreme weather events like droughts, floods from heavy rain and Nile River overflow in recent decades which have caused loss of life and property damage.
- More work is needed to improve climate modeling and better understand how to adapt to and manage the risks from a changing climate through approaches like sustainable farming and water management.
This document discusses global warming, its causes, effects, and actions being taken to address it. It notes that global warming is caused by human activities that increase greenhouse gas emissions such as fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. Key effects include rising sea levels, more extreme weather, health impacts like increased deaths from heat exposure and malnutrition. International agreements like the Paris Agreement aim to reduce emissions and limit global temperature rise. Individual actions like using less fossil fuels and planting trees can also help address the problem.
The document discusses how the greenhouse effect works and causes global warming. The atmosphere traps some of the sun's heat, warming the Earth. While a natural greenhouse effect is important, increased greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels are enhancing the effect and causing climate change. Less than 1% of gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere are responsible for trapping heat. Human activities like deforestation and use of fossil fuels are raising levels of these gases. The impacts of climate change include rising seas, stronger storms, and effects on ecosystems, agriculture and human health. Adaptation and mitigation efforts aim to address impacts.

3. 1. Introduction
Climate change is a change in the" average
weather" that a given region experiences.
– Indicated by elements of weather & climate
– Climate change usually expressed in terms of
temperature and rainfall variability
– If there is statistically significant variation,
According to IPCC (2001), climate change refers to any
change in climate over time whether due to natural
variability or as a result of human activity
4. …cont
The successive absorption and emission of
IR(Long wave Radiation) by the surface of the
earth resulted in green house effect.
Natural GH effect = Optimum condition for the
existence of species
Enhanced GH effect =Global Worming =
Climate related hazards
5. The Natural Greenhouse Effect
• The Earth is covered by a blanket of gas.
• The energy from the Sun reaches the
Earth’s surface, where some it is
converted to heat energy.
• Most of the heat is re-radiated towards
space, but some is trapped by the
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
• This natural effect allows the Earth’s
temperature to be kept at a level
necessary to support life.
5
6. But there is the Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
• Look how this is
different!
• Much more of the heat
from the sun gets
trapped in the
atmosphere
• So the Earth gets hotter
6
7. Though only 1% of atmospheric gases are greenhouse gases, they are extremely
powerful heat trappers.
By burning fossil fuels faster and faster, humans are effectively piling on more
blankets, heating the planet so much and so quickly that it’s hard for Mother
Nature and human societies to adapt.

16. 2. Evidences of climate change in Ethiopia
.
• Drying of Lakes: eg. Lake Haromaya
• Tana lake level declined by 62 cm.
• water surface shrink: area of lake Ziway
predicted to shrink to 25 km2.
• Decrease in flow Basins of rivers
• Extreme events: like Flooding, Frost in the
highlands and Drought in arid areas of the
country:

21. 3. Climate Trend analysis of BahirDar
Zuria District
• Maximum Temperature
• Minimum Temperature
• Rain fall amount
26. 5. Farmers field experience of climate
change
• Agriculture is the most important sector in the
economy of Ethiopia :
It represents 47% of the country’s GDP,
contributes about 80% of the total export value
and employs 85% of the population
dependence on rainfall (over 95%).
the largest livestock population in Africa and the
tenth largest in the world.

29. 6. Conclusions and way forward
• Ethiopia is one of the most vulnerable country
to the problems of climate change due to its
rain fed agriculture dependence and
/Subsistence/
• Climate change is severely affecting agricultural
productivity
• Farmers of BDZ District perceived the changes of
climate from their field experiences
• Farmers of BDZ District are trying to adapt
climate change effects, but still have constraints.
30. …cont
• Climate change is real and we need to be doing
something about it
• The longer we wait, the fewer our options
• Regional patterns of warming will be complicated
• Climate surprises can’t be discounted
• Climate change will create regional
agricultural winners and losers
