    The document discusses climate change and its causes, indicators, impacts, and ways to mitigate its effects. It explains that climate change is caused by both natural and human factors that increase greenhouse gases. Rising global temperatures, shrinking ice sheets, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather are impacts of climate change. Methods to reduce the effects include increasing carbon sequestration, using bioenergy, reducing fertilizer use, capturing methane from waste, and improving energy efficiency.

    the effects of changing climate
    and how to adapt accordingly
    PERFORMANCE STANDARD
    The learners shall be able to

    1 participate in activities that


    reduce risks and lessen
    effects of climate change
    DESIRABLE AND MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING

    COMPETENCIES/

    1 Explain how different


    factors affect the climate of
    an area

    2 Describe certain climatic


    phenomena that occur on a
    global level
    Global Climate Change
    Phenomenon
    Climate Change
    Climate Change is a long-term
    change in the average weather
    patterns.
    Global Warming
    Global warming is caused by
    several factors such as man-
    made, anthropogenic, or
    natural.
    Main Indicators of
    climate change
    Causes of Climate Change
    Greenhouse Effect

    The greenhouse effect is the natural warming


    process of the Earth that results
    when gases in the atmosphere trap heat from
    the earth that would otherwise escape
    into space.

    Greenhouse Gases

    The different greenhouse gases are carbon


    dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide,
    hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs), per
    fluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride, and
    water vapor.
    Climate Change in Focus:
    Impacts and Threats
    Rising of Temperature
    Shringking Ice Sheets
    Sea Level Rise
    Biodiversity Depletion
    Extreme Weather
    Ways to Mitigate the
    Effects of Climate Change
    Increasing Carbon sequestration and
    conservation

    “Carbon sequestration” describes


    the process of capture and long-
    term storage of atmospheric
    carbon dioxide (CO2) in a stable
    state.
    Use of Bioenergy

    Bioenergy is one of many diverse


    resources available to help meet
    our demand for energy.
    Reduced fertilizer use

    Nitrogen-based fertilizers spur


    greenhouse gas emissions by
    stimulating microbes in the soil to
    produce more nitrous oxide.
    Nitrous oxide is the third most
    important greenhouse gas, behind
    carbon dioxide and methane.

    carbon dioxide and methane.
    Anaerobic digestion of waste

    Anaerobic digestion systems capture


    methane and allow us to use that
    methane in a beneficial way. Capturing
    methane is important because
    methane is a potent greenhouse gas
    that contributes to climate change if
    allowed to escape to the atmosphere.
    Improve energy efficacy

    Energy efficiency is the workhorse of


    the clean energy world.
