 CLIMATE CHANGE
• Climate change is a “change in climate” due to the rise of
greenhouse gases that are warming the world.

cause illness or death.
• As global temperatures rise, diseases such as dengue, diarrhea,
malnutrition and so on increase.
• TWO Causes of CLIMATE CHANGE:
• 1. Natural climate change around the world in recent times
– It is the combined effect of energy from the sun, the rotation of the
earth, and the heat coming from the ground that raises the
temperature or heat in the air that wraps the earth.

• 2. Human activities that produce the increase or increase of

carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHGs)
– GHGs block the heat of the world. Car emission of carbon dioxide by
fuel vehicles, cutting down trees that are supposed to remove carbon
dioxide from the air, and decay of organic matter producing methane
(another type of GHGs) are some of the causes of climate change.
