Some scientists and researchers prefer to use the term “climate change.” 6 The Concept of Global Warming and Climate Change Climate Change It is a term used to describe the increase in global temperature accompanied by its effects on Earth (e.g., changing sea levels and frequent storms). Global warming is a symptom of climate 7 Causes of Global Warming and Climate Change Greenhouse gases They allow sunlight to enter the Earth's atmosphere and trap it to keep the surface warm. This phenomenon is called the greenhouse effect. 8 Causes of Global Warming and Climate Change As a result of human activities, the concentration of greenhouse gases has increased drastically. More heat is trapped on the Earth as greenhouse gases thicken. 9 Activities that Increase the Amount of Greenhouse Gases Burning of fossil fuels Use of fertilizer Deforestati on Decomposition of 10 wastes in landfills Implications of Global Warming and Climate Change Five sectors most likely to be affected by climate change in the Philippines (PAGASA) Water Forestry Agricultu resources re 11 Implications of Global Warming and Climate Change Five sectors most likely to be affected by climate change in the Philippines (PAGASA) Coastal Health resources 12 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Mitigation Adaptation 13 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Mitigation ❖ It aims to address the causes of global warming and climate change, which includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the countries involved. 14 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Adaptation ❖ It refers to the process of adjusting to the immediate and long-term effects of climate change. 15 PERSPECTIVE-AT-WORK The Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock that shows how close humanity is to a global catastrophe. https://youtu.be/jUCofhOVaxY?si=yWoifj2 8R2naOqsk 16 17 18 Stoplight STOP CONTINUE START 19  DAY 2 Global Warming and Climate Change Contemporary Challenges and Responses Understanding Culture, Society, and Politics 20 What is the difference between global warming and climate change? 21 What is the difference between global warming and climate change?
