PLANETARY NETWORKS
The concept of planetary network emphasizes that
everything on earth is interconnected. Whatever
happens to one element on earth has effect to the
other components.

Planetary Networks -refer to the interconnections


and interrelations among the various elements in the
natural environment enveloping and affecting Earth
aswell as beyond Earth’s surface.It includes the rain,
thewind, the sun’srays, gasses and other climate-
related elements.
GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is a phenomenon which refers
to the rising of global average temperature on
Earth’s surface due to the thinning of the ozone
layer in Earth’s atmosphere. Ozone stays high
up in the atmosphere where it is formed,
and its huge quantity is enough to form shield
for earth against the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
Ultraviolet rays can cause cornea damage
and skin cancer; stunt the growth and food
manufacturing process of green plants and
destroy the floating microorganisms at the
base of the ocean food chain. Global
warming causes changes in the climate
patterns and weather cycles of the Earth.
CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change refers to the major


changes in the climate that last for long
periods of time. Climate refers to the
prevailing set of atmospheric conditions
suchas temperature and humidity of a
place within a span of time. Weather is the
atmospheric condition involving hot or
cold, rainy or dry, cloudy or clear sky and
stormy or calm in a short period of time
(Arzadonet.al 2015).
THE EFFECTSOF
CONSUMPTION AND
PRODUCTION PATTERNS ON
CLIMATE CHANGE
PRODUCTION
PRODUCTION

-refers to how people generate and


manufacture the products they need to
use, sell, or consume. Almost everything
comes from natural resources which are
depleted every time they are used.

-If production pattern is characterized


by heavy dependence on coal, the
problem of climate change will be more
aggravated. China, for instance, has
large coal mines and relief on them for
its energy requirements.
-
CONSUMPTION

-refers to the use of economic or consumer goods


and resources. Consumption patterns can be
categorized as individual, family, company and
government consumption. It is the main reason
why we need to use our resources. Ecosystem has
the ability to regenerate, sustain and adjust what is
lost, but with the excessive use of land resources,
ecosystem will be destroyed.

-In economics, the more consumption, the more


demand, the more demand the more production,
the more production the more extraction to natural
resources, the more extraction the faster for the
resources to destroy. The resources in our
environment are limited but the need for
production and consumption is unlimited
Directions: Cite five existing problems brought about by climate change that you
have observed in your area. Fill in the columns below by writing the reasons why
the problems exist and your possible solutions to solve them.

EXISTING PROBLEMS REASON WHY IT EXIST SOLUTIONS

AIR POLLUTION AREA
You cannot get through a single day without having
an impact on the world around you. What you do
makes a difference and you have to decide what
kind of a difference you want to make.
