8. Climate Change
has something to do with significant changes in
global temperature, precipitation, wind patterns and
other measures of climate that occur over several
decades or longer. .

fuels

11. Actions that help lessen the effect of Climate Change:
1.Reduce carbon emission -practice walking in short distances
-use sustainable transportation such as bicycle or
use public transportation
2. Conservation of energy -cut down unimportant use of energy at home,
unplug appliances when not in use.
3. Implementation of the 3 R's
(Reduce, recycle and reuse)
-Reduce, recycle and reuse
-recycle recyclable materials, not all trash at home
will be send into incineration plant or dump into
dumping sites
4. Adopt a plant-based diet -increase your food and vegetable consumption -
livestock is one of the biggest contaminators of
the atmosphere so by not eating meat products/
reducing meat consumption it can lessen
carbon emission
12. Actions that help lessen the effect of Climate Change:
5. Use of renewable energy at
home
-renewable energy often referred to as clean
energy, comes from natural sources or processes
such as installing solar panels in your
your roof to generate electricity
6.Preservation of Forest -avoid illegal logging instead plant more trees,
remember that forest is considered as the home
of some organisms, throughout its life a single
tree can absorb up to a ton of CO2
7.Educate People -All efforts done in lessening the effect of climate
change will be useless if people don’t have
knowledge how to take care of our environment,
the best way is to educate them about the
dangers of climate change and how to act against
it.
13. Actions that help lessen the effect of Climate Change:
8.Energy efficient homes -having an energy efficient home is
beneficial since it offers a lot
opportunities like it can save
money, energy and reduce greenhouse
emission
9. Stop Overpopulation -Since carbon emission is being
measured per capita so overpopulation
must be stopped/controlled because
bigger population will also mean greater
emission of carbon
14. GREEN HOUSE EFFECT:
Is the natural process
that warm’s the earth’s
surface and makes life
possible on the planet.
Some may think
negatively on this natural
phenomenon but it is
actually the reason why
organisms in the entire
world are able to survive.
15. Process on the occurrence of greenhouse effect:
1. Solar energy enters the
atmosphere.
2. Earth’s surface heats up
(infrared)
3. Some heat is reflected
back to space.
4. Some heat is trapped by
the greenhouse gases.
5. Greenhouse gases
absorb and re-radiated the
heat to warm the earth.
16. Greenhouse Gas entering the Atmosphere
Greenhouse Gas Where it comes from
Carbon dioxide
Respiration, volcanic
eruptions, decomposition of
plant material; burning of
fossil fuels
Methane
Decomposition of plant
material under some
conditions, biochemical
reactions in stomachs
Nitrous oxide Produced by bacteria
Ozone Atmospheric processes
Chlorofluorocarbons
Not naturally occurring; made
by humans
17. There are two global climatic phenomena
that occur naturally resulting to periodic
changes in Pacific ocean surface
temperatures that have impacts on
weather all over the globe. These
occurrences are named as:
a. El Niño and
b. La Niña
18. EL NIÑO “Little Boy”
is an abnormal
climate pattern
brought by the
warming of Pacific
ocean near the
equatorial region
because of weak
trade winds that
push back warm
water to east.
Niño will most likely bring severe
drought
Warm phase
Wildfires (Aus. and Phil.)
19. LA NIÑA “Little Girl”
occurs when the
unusual stronger trade
winds pushes more
warm water towards
Asia bringing cold-
nutrient water to the
surface that may also
result to wetter (more
rainfall) weather
conditions.
encounter above normal rainfall
Cool phase
Flooding (Phil.) Landslide
20. The following ways should be adapted during these two
cyclic events:
1. During El Niñ0, there should be an advance forecast,
with high level of awareness, that enables governments,
commercial sectors and humanitarian agencies to create
contingency plans to better prepare for the impacts:
EL NIÑO:
A. In places receiving below normal amount of
rainfall, they can prepare to avoid risk of
wildfires enhanced drought and to anticipate
low food supply.
21. The following ways should be adapted during these two
cyclic events:
EL NIÑO:
B. In water management options in anticipation
of reduced amount of rainfall.
C. In agriculture sector, advice can be given to
the farmers to adjust planting time and crop
varieties.
22. The following ways should be adapted during these two
cyclic events:
EL NIÑO:
D. Giving more information into disease and
management plans, to help people cope with
health problems during floods, such as risk of
contracting diarrhea and mosquito-borne
diseases.
23. The following ways should be adapted during these two
cyclic events:
EL NIÑA:
1. Wait to enter damaged building
- Stay out of all damaged structure until local
emergency officials have expressed that it’s safe
to enter.
During La Niña, here are 5 Post Typhoon Safety
Precautions
24. The following ways should be adapted during these two
cyclic events:
EL NIÑA:
2. Wear proper shoes and clothing
-Wear long sleeves and pants – as well as
gloves and work boots or sturdy shoes to avoid
injuries from stray nails and other hazardous
debris.
25. The following ways should be adapted during these two
cyclic events:
EL NIÑA:
3. Shut off gas and electrical power
-If you suspect that there is damage in your
home, shut off electrical power, natural gas and
propane tank to prevent fire, electrocution and
explosion. Use battery powered flashlight to see
in the dark. Don’t use candles.
26. The following ways should be adapted during these two
cyclic events:
EL NIÑA:
4.Delay use of tap water
-Avoid drinking tap water or using tap water to
prepare food until you are sure that it has not
been contaminated
27. The following ways should be adapted during these two
cyclic events:
EL NIÑA:
5. Stay away from downed power lines, and
report them to the police and your utility
company as possible.
