Climate Change: Answer The Following: 10pts Each

This document discusses climate change and provides learning outcomes, activities, and questions about the topic. The key points are: 1. The learning outcomes are to explain how climate change happens, provide evidence of climate change, and discuss the implications. 2. Greenhouse gases are trapping more heat in the atmosphere causing temperatures to rise. Human activity and pollution have increased greenhouse gases. 3. If climate change denial continues, within 20 years frequent droughts and storms may damage wildlife habitats. Within 100 years, societal breakdown from issues like water scarcity, migration and conflict could occur.

CLIMATE CHANGE

LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this module, the students should be able to:
1. Explain how climate change happens;
2. Provide pieces of evidence to affirm the presence of climate change; and
3. Discuss the implication of climate change

LEARNING ACTIVITY

Answer the following: 10pts each


1. Why does the average temperature of the atmosphere rise? What might have caused the unprecedented
increase in its level?
Greenhouse gases trap more heat in the Earth's atmosphere that causing average
temperatures around the planet to rise. The atmospheric greenhouse effect is a phenomena in which
specific gases absorb and radiate infrared radiation, decreasing the pace at which heat departs the
Earth; this delay of heat departing leads to a rise in temperatures near the Earth's surface when the
Earth is heated by sunlight. To avoid it,we must reduce burning plastics and rubbers that cause for
the atmosphere to be thinner. However, as a result of human activity and pollution, greenhouse
gases in the Earth's atmosphere have gotten thicker than before, causing the natural greenhouse
effect to increase and the temperature of the atmosphere to quickly rise.

2. Aside from the rise in mean temperature and CO2 levels, what are some other pieces of evidence for
global warming?
There are some other pieces of evidence for global warming such as Rising Sea Level which there
is evidence suggests that the ocean water level is fast rising as a result of the polar region's melting,
causing some land areas to sink, such as Indonesia. Coral Bleaching is the process through which corals
turn white, indicating that they are on the verge of extinction, as a result of increased carbon dioxide
levels in the oceans, which has a significant impact on the life of coral reefs. Migration there is a large
group of animals that stay in one place to look for food for a certain period of time, but due to rising
global temperatures, it is a little longer than usual before moving to another moving space. Some animals
stay. They prefer moderate and cold temperatures, which tend to ruin their patterns.

3. How does climate change affect biodiversity?


Climate change will have an impact on plant and animal life as temperatures and weather
patterns shift. As temperatures rise, scientists expect the quantity and diversity of species, which
characterize biodiversity to fall.  Loss of biodiversity might have a wide range of negative consequences
for ecosystems and civilization around the planet. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat
from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. Temperatures will rise as greenhouse gas
levels grow. There are lot of changes that happened in our nature especially in parts of land-water like
oceans.Climate change is a significant worldwide issue that has already impacted biodiversity and natural
ecosystems. Climate change is already affecting biodiversity, and it is expected to become a more serious
hazard over the next few decades. The pressure of ocean acidification, which is a result of increased
carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, is already being felt. Although the Earth's climate has changed in
the past, the rapidity with which it is changing now will have a direct impact on ecosystems and
biodiversity.

4. What can people and nations do to fix global warming? Give five contributions you can personally achieve and three potential
contributions on a national or international scale.
There are a lot of things and activities that people can do to fix global warming.I can contribute
that can personally achieve such as make your voice heard!Address the importance of voting for climate
action with your friends and family.Volunteer for a campaign who is committed to stop global
warming.Next is through planting trees because it can help reduce the amount of carbon in our
atmosphere.Reduce water waste because spending time in nature, being with loved ones, and making a
difference in the lives of others brings more meaning, belonging, and happiness than shopping and
consuming. We also produce less emissions and are friendlier on the environment when we consume
less. To begin, consider sharing, making, mending, recycling, and decomposing.Next is switch to
renewable sources of energy because we can power our homes and buildings with renewable energy
sources (such as solar and wind energy), releasing fewer thermal gases into the environment.Lastly,Invest
on local goods and services.Buying locally, whether it's food from your local farmer's market or clothing
for your back, not only supports our local economy, but it may also avoid thousands of pounds of CO2
created by shipping and delivering items manufactured in a foreign country.Through this
contributions,we can make our atmosphere to maintain on it not thin not thick.We can fix but not
stop,lessen but not mitigate but to give a change consume with our nature. We can provide a living with
peace which our belonging have meaning to maintain a healthy living with a purpose.

5. If climate change denial persists, what could possibly happen to the Earth and humanity after 20,
50, and 100 years considering the current trend?

There will be a lot of changes that may happen to the Earth and especially for us,humans.As a
result of climate change, humans and wild animals are facing new survival challenges. Droughts
that are more frequent and extreme, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and
warmer oceans can damage animals directly, destroy their habitats, and exert pressure on
people's livelihoods and societies. Our physical and mental health repercussions, environmental
devastation, home destruction, forced displacement, mass migration, conflict over water and
food, internal and international security, and the possible breakdown of society, energy, and
transportation are all far-reaching.If you don't care about our environment, it will
become polluted with chemicals and toxins that are damaging to our health. Air pollution can
cause a variety of difficulties and diseases, including respiratory disorders and cancer.
