Carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, water vapor, ozone and halocarbons (which include
chlorofluorocarbons) are the greenhouse gases that are responsible for the existence of life
on Earth, since without these gases, Earth will be at freezing point and life won’t be possible.
But, what happensif the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere will be beyond the
normal concentration? This will lead to a phenomenon known as global warming or
enhanced greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from the
sun is absorbed by the greenhouse gases and not reflected back into space .What do you
think will happen if this global warming won’t be given attention or action? Now that you have
learned the greenhouse gases and their contribution to global warming, then, consider this
next activity.

The climate of the Earth has changed throughout the history and this is all because of the
different activities conducted by human beings who are the greatest contributors of global
warming.If these activities will go on and if this condition will not be given immediate
attention or solution,it will progress to climate change which will cause adverse effects to the
environment and in turn, pose danger to all living things in this planet.
What is it
What is climate change? Is it real? Is itman-made? a natural occurrence? Or is
it only a product of human imagination? These questions are commonly asked when we talk
about climate change.
-Causes-

Our planet’s diversity of life is at risk from the changing climate. Climate change poses
fundamental threat to the places, species and even to people’s health and livelihood. So,
what can we do to help lessen these effects? What are the activities that reduce the risks
and harmful effects of climate change?Here are some things to consider:

What I need to know
What’s In
Are you aware of the world-wide issue on climate change? The weather-
affecting interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere are what we call El Niño and
La Niña.
Activity 1
Direction:
Determine if the statement below is a cause or an effect of climate change. Write
C - if it is a cause andE - if it is an effect, on the space before each number.
___________8. Deforestation.

What‘s New
• Figure 1. Shows the temperature of the surface of the sea under normal
conditions. Warm water is shaded in redcolor,while cool water isshaded
inblue color
• Figure 2. Shows the temperature of the surface of the sea during El Niño.
• Figure 3. Shows Normal conditions in the Pacific Ocean.
• Figure 4. Shows conditions during El Niño in the Pacific Ocean.

Activity 2
Objective:
Differentiate El Niño and La Niña.
Materials:
Activity Sheet Paper and Pen (Figures 1-4)
Procedure:
1. Carefully analyze the figures shown in 1-4.
2. Complete the table below by choosing the correct answer found in the
firstcolumn.
What’s it
Aside from the impact of climate change,we still have two cyclic events, The
El Niño andtheLa Niña.
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:
• In places receiving below normal amount of rainfall,they can prepare to avoid risk of
wildfires enhanced drought and to anticipate low food supply.
In water managementoptions in anticipation ofreduced amountof rainfall.
In agriculture sector, advicecan be given to the farmers to adjust planting time and
crop varieties.
Giving more information into disease and management plans, to help people cope
withhealth problems during floods, such as risk of contractingdiarrhea and mosquito-
borne diseases.
5. Stay away from downed power lines, and report them to the police
and your utility company as possible.

Greenhouse effect:
is the warming of the earth’s surface and lower atmosphere that
tends to intensify with an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide,
the atmosphere allows a large percentage of the rays of visible light
from the sun to reach the earth’s surface and heat it.
A part of this energy is radiated by the earth’s surface in the form of
long-wave infrared radiation, much of which is absorbed by molecules
of carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere and which is
reflected back to the surface as heat.

Summary
Climate change is the change in the usual temperature or the rise in average surface
temperature on Earth due to some factors such as human activities.
Climate change does not only affect people but as well as the lower forms of
organisms such as plants and animals.
Aside from environmental effects, climate change also affects people’s health.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are considered one of the main causes of Earth’s
climate change.
Different actions are being identified to help lessen the outcome of climate change
such as the following: reduction of carbon emission , conservation of energy,
implementation of the 3 R's, adoption of a plant-based diet or a low-carbon diet,
supply power to homes with renewable energy, preservation of forest, education of
people to make homes energy efficient.
El Niño happens when the temperature in eastern Pacific rises above normal.
La Niña happens when the temperature in eastern Pacific decreases below normal.
Drought, smaller catch fish, more rainfall inland and massive storms are global
effects of El Niño
Greenhouse effect is the warming of the earth’s surface and lower atmosphere that
tends to intensify with an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, ozone gas, nitrous oxide, and
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCS) also known as Freon, trap heat from the atmosphere.
