Climate change is the gradual but significant alteration of climate variables including precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns through time.
Human Activities that affect the Global Climate:
Greenhouse- The main driver of climate change is the greenhouse effect. Some gases in the Earth's atmosphere act a bit like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping the sun's heat and stopping it from leaking back into space and causing global warming.
Burning coal, oil and gas- it produces carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.
Deforestation - Trees help to regulate the climate by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. When they are cut down, that beneficial effect is lost and the carbon stored in the trees is released into the atmosphere, adding to the greenhouse effect.
Volcanic Activity- Volcanoes have played a noticeable role in climate, and volcanic eruptions released large quantities of carbon dioxide in the distant past.
Using transportation- Most cars, lorries, ships and planes run on fossil fuels. That makes transportation a major contributor of greenhouse gases, especially carbon-dioxide emissions. Road vehicles account for the largest part, but emissions from ships and planes continue to grow.
WAYS TO LESSEN THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE:
We can reduce the amount of electricity we use in our homes to help avoid climate change, as energy is the most significant contributor to climatic change in the Philippines. In general, we should think about incorporating the 3R's into our daily lives.
Educate folks on how to care for our environment. More trees should be planted, and water should be conserved and used appropriately. Contaminated water sources should be avoided. Increase your fluid intake. Also, stay up to current on the shellfish restriction.
We should avoid deforestation, which contributes to global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, and instead plant more trees and employ renewable energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
