Is climate
change
real?
Is climate
change man-
made or is it
just a natural
occurrence?
These are just few
questions that can be
asked once we talk
about climate
change. Climate
change is one of the
most current
worldwide issues.
Some experts say
that it is true that
the Earth does go
through a period of
cooling and a
period of warming.
The increase of
temperature that
we are
experiencing right
now is caused by
factors other than
human activity..
Another point of
view is that the
increase of Earth’s
temperature is
brought about by
human
intervention
Whether the
cause is man-
made or not,
climate change is
a change in the
environment.
Global warming
can bring about a
rising of the sea
level due to the
melting of ice caps
and glaciers.
We may experience
severe weather
disturbances such
as much stronger
typhoons and
heavier rainfalls.
Some parts of the
world may experience
the so-called El Niño
or La Niña
phenomena. And
most of all, it can
cause extinction of
some fauna and flora.
What is Climate
Change?
Global warming, also
referred to as climate
change, is the observed
century-scale rise in
the average
temperature of
the Earth's climate
system and its related
effects.
 FACTORS
AFFECTING
GLOBAL
WARMING
1. DEFORESTATION
Is the
clearance or clearing is
the removal of
a forest or stand of trees
where the land is
thereafter converted to
a non-forest use.
Deforestation is a persistent
problem with a multitude of
causes. Logging companies
often use slash and burn
techniques, without any
concern for existing habitats.
 2. WATER VAPOR
The most abundant greenhouse
gas, but importantly, it acts as a
feedback to the climate. Water
vapor increases as the Earth's
atmosphere warms, but so does
the possibility of clouds and
precipitation, making these
some of the most important
feedback mechanisms to the
greenhouse effect.
 3. CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2)
A minor but very important
component of the atmosphere,
carbon dioxide is released
through natural processes such
as respiration and volcano
eruptions and through human
activities such as deforestation,
land use changes, and burning
fossil fuels.
 4. METHANE
A hydrocarbon gas produced
both through natural sources
and human activities, including
the decomposition of wastes in
landfills, agriculture, and
especially rice cultivation, as
well as ruminant digestion and
manure management
associated with domestic
livestock.
methane is a far
more active
greenhouse gas than
carbon dioxide, but
also one which is
much less abundant
in the atmosphere.
.
 5. NITROUS OXIDE
A powerful greenhouse gas
produced by soil cultivation
practices, especially the use
of commercial and organic
fertilizers, fossil fuel
combustion, nitric acid
production, and biomass
burning.
 6. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

Synthetic compounds entirely of

industrial origin used in a
number of applications, but now
largely regulated in production
and release to the atmosphere
by international agreement for
their ability to contribute to
destruction of the ozone layer.
On Earth, human activities
are changing the natural
greenhouse. Over the last
century the burning of
fossil fuels like coal and
oil has increased the
concentration of
atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO2).
This happens because the
coal or oil burning process
combines carbon with
oxygen in the air to make
CO2. To a lesser extent, the
clearing of land for
agriculture, industry, and
other human activities has
increased concentrations of
greenhouse gases.
