Climate Change
Climate change refers to a long-term
change in the Earth's climate, including
changes in temperature, precipitation, and other
weather patterns, that are primarily caused by human
activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and
deforestation.
This leads to an increase in the concentration of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which traps
more heat from the sun and causes the planet
to warm up.
Trends, Networks, and Critical Thinking in the 21st Century Compiled by: Arabis, MCAC

Climate Change
There are many situations that are being
attributed to climate change, some of them are:

Rising global temperatures: Temperatures are rising all over


the world, and this is one of the most significant signs of climate
change.

Melting of glaciers: Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate,


causing sea levels to rise and putting coastal areas at risk of
flooding.
Trends, Networks, and Critical Thinking in the 21st Century Compiled by: Arabis, MCAC

Climate Change
There are many situations that are being
attributed to climate change, some of them are:

Extreme weather events: Climate change is leading to more


frequent and intense weather events such as hurricanes, floods,
droughts, and heatwaves.

Changes in precipitation patterns: Climate change is causing


changes in precipitation patterns, leading to more extreme
rainfall events, and affecting agriculture, water availability, and
flooding.
Trends, Networks, and Critical Thinking in the 21st Century Compiled by: Arabis, MCAC

Climate Change
There are many situations that are being
attributed to climate change, some of them are:

Ocean acidification: As the levels of carbon dioxide in the


atmosphere rise, the oceans absorb more of it, which makes
them more acidic. This can have significant impacts on marine
ecosystems, including coral reefs.

Loss of biodiversity: Climate change is causing changes in


ecosystems and leading to the loss of biodiversity as species
struggle to adapt to changing conditions.
Trends, Networks, and Critical Thinking in the 21st Century Compiled by: Arabis, MCAC

Climate Change
The process of climate change can be
explained in the following steps:

1.Greenhouse gas emissions: Human activities, such as


burning fossil fuels for energy, transportation, and industry, as
well as deforestation and land use changes, release large
amounts of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide,
methane, and nitrous oxide, into the atmosphere.
2.Trapping of heat: These greenhouse gases trap more heat
from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, causing a warming
effect that can lead to higher temperatures, melting of glaciers
and ice caps, and rising sea levels.
Trends, Networks, and Critical Thinking in the 21st Century Compiled by: Arabis, MCAC

Climate Change
The process of climate change can be
explained in the following steps:

3. Albedo effect: The Earth's surface reflects some of the sun's energy back
into space, but as the ice caps and glaciers melt, the Earth's surface
becomes less reflective, which leads to more energy being absorbed and
further warming of the planet.
4. Positive feedback loops: Climate change can also trigger positive
feedback loops, such as the melting of permafrost, which releases more
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and amplifies the warming effect.
5. Impacts on climate patterns: Climate change can also lead to changes
in precipitation patterns, more frequent and intense weather events, and
changes in ocean currents, which can have significant impacts on
ecosystems, agriculture, and human societies.
