This document defines climate change and its causes and consequences. It begins by defining climate and weather, and explaining that climate change refers to major changes in temperature, rainfall, or wind patterns lasting decades or longer. The main causes of current climate change are human activities like burning fossil fuels which increase greenhouse gas emissions. Consequences of climate change include increased global warming, melting glaciers and ice sheets, rising sea levels causing flooding, more extreme weather, and effects on human health, wildlife, and the economy. The document provides details on these causes and consequences of climate change.

Global Climate Change is the result of a succession of climatic distortions that have resulted from the man made alteration to a high pressure zone that had appeared in North Eastern Africa for the passed few million years. By introducing large scale river management dams on the Nile in Egypt to control the annual midsummer flood, this set off a sequence of events further south in the Ethopian Highlands that resulted in a reduction in the number and density of Easterly Waves, which has increased the amount of solar rediation absorbed by the Equitorial Atlantic and Pacific, thus warming the planet and distorting a number of major weather systems.

Over millions of years, species become adapted to survive in the conditions in which they live. A stable climate supports this process and allows living things to thrive. If the climate changes quickly, organisms don’t have enough time to adapt to new conditions and may no longer be able to survive.

The process of register multi-state cooperative society in India is governed by the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002. This process requires the office bearers to undertake several crucial responsibilities to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks. The key office bearers typically include the President, Secretary, and Treasurer, along with other elected members of the managing committee. Their responsibilities encompass administrative, legal, and financial duties essential for the successful registration and operation of the society.
RIGHTS OF VICTIM EDITED PRESENTATION(SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Victims of crime have a range of rights designed to ensure their protection, support, and participation in the justice system. These rights include the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be informed about the progress of their case, and the right to be heard during legal proceedings. Victims are entitled to protection from intimidation and harm, access to support services such as counseling and medical care, and the right to restitution from the offender. Additionally, many jurisdictions provide victims with the right to participate in parole hearings and the right to privacy to protect their personal information from public disclosure. These rights aim to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and to provide them with the necessary resources and involvement in the judicial process.
PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.

MEANING OF CLIMATE CHANGE
CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE
CONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGE
CONCLUSION
3. WHAT IS CLIMATE?
Climate is the average daily weather for an extended period of time
at a certain location.
4. MEANING CONT. …
Weather reflects short term conditions of the atmosphere, it
can change from minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day
and season-to-season. Climate is the average of weather
over time and space.
Unlike “weather,” which means temperature, rainfall,
humidity of a particular time at a local area, “climate” has
spatial and temporal components.
It consists of many kinds of weather events, their
periodicities, intensities, and nature of dynamism.
When we talk about climate change, we actually understand
more than the literal changes of weather events over the
time and space of that climate.
5. Meaning cont.….
E.G., changes in ocean current, melting of ice, and loss of
biodiversity are included in climate change; they are not
discussed as conventional events of weather.
By climate change, we understand detrimental effects in
environment – emission of pollutants, temperature rise,
precipitation change, sea level rise, flooding, intensified
cyclones, abrupt frequency of events, ozone layer depletion,
biodiversity loss, vegetation change, and drought – almost all
negative impacts.
Climate change is a term that refers to major changes in
temperature, rainfall, snow, or wind patterns lasting for
decades or longer.
According to Working Group II of the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC); Climate change refers to any change
in the climate over time, whether due to natural variability
or as a result of human activity
7. CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE
1) NATURAL CAUSES ----------- I) Volcanic eruptions
ii) Ocean current
2) HUMAN CAUSES--------------- I) Human activities---
Burning of oil, deforestation, fertilizers
8. CAUSES CONT. …
since the industrial revolution began in 1750
human activities have contributed substantially to
climate change by adding CO2 and other heat
trapping gases to the atmosphere. These green
houses gas emissions have increased the
greenhouse effect causing Earth’s surface
temperature to rise.
9. Causes cont. …
• Earth’s temperature depends on the balance between
energy entering and leaving the planet’s system.
• When incoming energy from the sun is absorbed by
the Earth system, earth warms.
• When the sun’s energy is reflected back into space,
earth avoids warming.
• When absorbed energy is released back into space,
earth cools.
• Many factors both natural and human can cause
changes in earth’s energy balance including :-
10. Causes cont. …
a) Variations in the sun’s energy reaching earth
b) Changes in the reflectivity of earth’s atmosphere and
surface
c) Changes in the greenhouse effect, which affects the
amount of heat retained by earth’s atmosphere.
THESE FACTORS HAVE CAUSED EARTH’S CLIMATE TO
CHANGE MANY TIMES.
11. Causes cont. …
Climate Change prior to the Industrial Revolution in the
1700 can be explained by natural causes, such as changes
in the solar energy, volcanic eruptions, and natural
changes in the greenhouse gas concentrations.
Recent climate changes, however cannot be explained by
natural causes alone as most research indicate that
natural causes do not explain most observed warming
especially warming since the mid-20th century.
Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the
earth’s temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down
rainforests and farming livestock.
12. Causes cont. …
These human activities release large amounts of CO2 (which is
the primary greenhouse gas) in addition to those naturally
occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect
and global warming.
Scientists have known that CO2 is one of the main greenhouse
gases of importance to Earth’s energy balance.
Since CO2 is already in the atmosphere naturally, why are
EMISSIONS from human activity significant?
Human activities have significantly disturbed the natural
carbon cycle by extracting long-buried fossil fuels and burning
them for energy thus releasing CO2 to the atmosphere.

15. CONSEQUENCES
- Expansion of Greenhouse Effect
• The sun’s radiation that strikes the Earth’s
atmosphere in the form of light, Ultraviolet Radiation
(UV) and Infrared Radiation(IR).
• UV radiation has a shorter wavelength and a higher
energy level than visible light, while IR radiation has
a longer wavelength and a weaker energy level.
• 30 percent of the radiation striking Earth's
atmosphere immediately reflected back out to space
by clouds, ice, snow, sand and other reflective
surfaces,
16. CONSEQUENCES
- Expansion of Greenhouse Effect cont. …
• The remaining 70 percent of incoming solar radiation is absorbed
by the oceans, the land and the atmosphere. The oceans, land and
atmosphere release heat in the form of IR thermal radiation, which
passes out of the atmosphere and into space.
• The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the
Earth is often referred to as the greenhouse effect because a
greenhouse works in much the same way.
• Incoming UV radiation easily passes through the glass walls of a
greenhouse and is absorbed by the plants and hard surfaces inside.
Weaker IR radiation, however, has difficulty passing through the
glass walls and is trapped inside, thus warming the greenhouse.
17. CONSEQUENCES
- Global warming
• Gas molecules that absorb thermal infrared radiation, in
sufficient quantity, can force the climate system. These type of
gas molecules are called greenhouse gases
• Examples of greenhouse gasses are Carbon dioxide (CO2), water
vapor, methane, nitrous oxide (N2O), etc.
• The greenhouse gases act like a blanket, absorbing IR radiation
and preventing it from escaping into outer space.
• The net effect is the gradual heating of Earth's atmosphere and
surface, a process known as global warming.
18. CONSEQUENCES
- Melting of polar ice sheets and glaciers
• Large ice formations, like glaciers and the polar ice caps, naturally
melt back a bit each summer. But in the winter, snows, made
primarily from evaporated seawater, are generally sufficient to
balance out the melting.
• Higher temperatures caused by global warming have led to
greater-than-average summer melting as well as diminished
snowfall due to later winters and earlier springs.
• Increased heat is also causing the massive ice sheets that cover
Greenland and Antarctica to melt at an accelerated pace.
• Scientists also believe meltwater from above and seawater from
below is seeping beneath Greenland's and West Antarctica's ice
sheets, causing them to move more quickly into the sea.
19. CONSEQUENCES
- Increase in sea level which results in flooding and erosion
of coastal and low lying areas
• The two major causes of global sea-level rise are thermal
expansion caused by warming of the oceans (since water
expands as it warms) and the loss of land-based ice, such
as glaciers and ice sheets, due to increased melting.
- Extreme weather
• flooding, forest fires, wildfires, droughts, heat waves
20. CONSEQUENCES
- Risk to human health
• increase in number of heat-related and cold-
related deaths
- Risk for wildlife extinction
• Loss of habitat and species
- Imposes heavy cost on society and economy
• agriculture, forestry, fisheries, tourism,
infrastructure
21. To conclude, the changes because of climate
change, include:
Atmosphere and sea-level pressure
Wind fields
Sea ice drift
Melting ice coverings
Change in precipitation patterns
Changes in hydrology
Change in ocean current
Water mass distribution
Carbon cycle altered
Biological systems affected
Arctic oscillation
22. HOW DOES CLIMATE CHANGE AFFECT MALAYSIA?
Malaysia is located near the equator and is
generally rather warm with rainfall throughout
the year with monsoon seasons,
23. POLICY STATEMENT
Ensure climate-resilient development
to fulfil national aspirations for
sustainability
Malaysia is a Party to the
UNFCCC and has ratified the
Kyoto Protocol.
Malaysia is already committed
under the UNFCCC to, inter
alia, “formulate, implement,
publish and regularly update
national and, where
appropriate, regional
programmes containing
measures to mitigate climate
change by addressing
anthropogenic emissions by
sources and removals by sinks
of all greenhouse gases…”.
With climate change, the
weather in Malaysia is
getting unbearably hot,
We now get torrential
rain which is electrifying.
We go from droughts to
floods
24. Copenhagen Accord commitments : The
Malaysian prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib
announced on 17 December 2009 (at copenhagen)
that Malaysia would cut “40 per cent of its 2005
GDp emission intensity levels by 2020 as its
contribution to combat climate change”. This in
principle commitment has, however, been
undermined by a lack of subsequent action.
In mid 2009 Malaysia launched its Green technology
strategy, which remains the principal strategy through
which Malaysia intends to meet its carbon intensity
reduction goals.
The small Renewable Energy power (sREp)
program, in place since 2001, aims to promote the
wider use of the renewable energy resources
available in Malaysia. Eligible renewable energy
sources include biomass, biogas, municipal waste,
solar, mini-hydro and wind. The program allows for
small power generation plants utilising renewable
energy (under 10MW) to sell their electricity to the
utility through the distribution grid system.
