2. - Describe certain climatic phenomena that occur
on a global level S9ES-IIIf- 31
Specifically, you are expected to:
● Define climate change;
● Interpret the relationship between carbon
dioxide and temperature; and
● Plan ways on how to educate fellow learners
on the impacts of climate change.

3. • What is climate change?
• The primary cause of climate change
• Relationship between Carbon Dioxide
and Temperature
• Impacts of Climate Change
• Planning Ways to Educate Fellow
Learners on the Impacts of Climate
Change
• Summary

4. • Refers to long-term
shifts in temperature,
precipitation patterns,
wind patterns, and other
aspects of the Earth's
climate system.
5. The greenhouse effect is a
natural process that occurs
when certain gases in the
Earth's atmosphere trap heat
from the sun.
These gases include carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
nitrous oxide (N2O), and
water vapor.
Human activities, particularly the
burning of fossil fuels, have
significantly increased the
concentration of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere,
leading to enhanced global
warming
6.
7. • As the concentration of carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere increases, more heat
is trapped, leading to a rise in global
temperatures.
• Rising temperatures cause ice to melt,
reducing the Earth's reflectivity.
• This leads to more heat absorption,
further increasing temperatures.

9. Impacts of climate change
are happening now. These
impacts extend well beyond
an increase in temperature,
affecting ecosystems and
communities around the world.
Things that we depend upon
and value, water, energy,
transportation, wildlife,
agriculture, ecosystems, and
human health, are
experiencing the effects of
changing climate.

13. There are many things you could do to reduce your carbon footprint.
Some of them are:
14. • Climate change: Long-term shifts
in temperature, precipitation
patterns, wind patterns, and
other aspects of the Earth's
climate system.
• Greenhouse effect: Natural process
where certain gases in the
atmosphere trap heat from the
sun, including carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide, and water
vapor.
• Human activities: Burning fossil
fuels has increased the
concentration of greenhouse gases,
leading to enhanced global warming.
15. • Carbon dioxide and temperature:
Higher carbon dioxide levels
result in more heat being
trapped, leading to rising global
temperatures.
• Educating others: Conduct
workshops, seminars, and
campaigns on climate change
awareness. Use multimedia tools
to visually communicate the
impacts of climate change and
promote sustainable practices.
For hundreds of thousands of years, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere stayed between 200 and 300 parts per million (ppm). Today, it is up to nearly 400 ppm (see Figure 5), and the amount is still rising. Along with other greenhouse gases, this extra CO2 is trapping heat and causing the climate to change.
