    Climate Change

    Climate change is defined as the long-term shift in weather patterns due to the release of greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels. This unprecedented release of gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere from the industrial era onward is the primary cause of increased global temperatures and effects such as rising sea levels, stronger extreme weather, and threats to biodiversity. As leaders of the future, we need policies that address the root causes of climate change and mitigate its impacts, such as moving societies away from fossil fuel dependence toward cleaner energy alternatives.

    CLIMATE CHANGE

    UNDERSTANDING CULTURE, SOCIETY AND POLITICS


    CLIMATE CHANGE
    • The long term shift in weather
    patterns in specific region or
    globally (Ecolife, 2015) which may
    lead to specific changes in
    “overall weather patterns
    including precipitation,
    temperature.
    Causes
    • Unprecedented release of greenhouse
    gases such as carbon dioxide, methane,
    and fluorinated gases.
    • Carbon dioxide are released from fossil
    fuels that ignited the industrial era and our
    modernization through the years.
    • Our global economies, and societies are
    highly dependent on fossil fuels, that run
    factories, machine, cars, airplanes and
    many others.
    Effects of Global warming
     Increase surfaced temperatures
     Rise in sea levels
     Retreat of glaciers and melting of sea ice
     Changes in precipitation
     Increases in intensity of extreme weather events such as heat
    waves, tornadoes, hurricanes and heavy rainfall
     Longer, more severe droughts
     Expansion of subtropical deserts
     Species endangerment and extinction and loss of biodiversity
     Acidification of oceans creating drops in fishing fields and
    death of coral reefs.
    Brainstorming:
    • Do you agree that this is the price we
    pay for industrialization? Justify your
    answer.
    • As future leaders, what policies/
    programs would you legislate or enact
    in order to address the problem in
    global warming and climate change.
