 WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?

It is a change in the climate that is directly or indirectly attributed to human

activities that alter the overall composition of the atmosphere and the climatic
variability that has been compared with other periods of time.
The current temperature change is happening in a very short space of time, this is
linked to the increase in the concentration of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) such as
carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), water vapor ( H2O), ozone (O3) and nitrous
oxide (N2O).
 WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?

68% of global emissions come from only ten countries including Mexico, contributing
1.68%. The main sources of GHG emissions in Mexico are transportation, electricity
generation and industry.
It is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Alterations in weather patterns and
extreme temperatures are increasingly common and will increase if there is a greater
concentration of greenhouse gases.
Climate change puts the health, food and energy security at risk, as well as access to
water for millions of Mexicans.
 CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE

The causes of climate change can be divided into those related to natural processes and causes linked to
human activity.
• * Water vapor: Water vapor is produced by the evaporation of water, being an essential part of the
hydrological cycle.
• * Carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is generated from the breath of living things, the decomposition of
plants and animals.
• * Methane. Methane is mainly emitted by wetlands and ruminants during their digestive process.
• * Nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is a product of the bacterial breakdown of organic matter.
• * Ozone. Ozone is the union of three oxygen atoms.
CONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGE

• Frosting and sea level rise

• Extreme weather conditions and increased rainfall
• Costs for society and the economy
• Risk for nature
• Propagation of diseases
• Disappearance of animal species
 HOW TO AVOID IT?

Some measures we can take to curb climate change are:

• Separate our garbage, recycle and reuse
• Energy saving
• Do not abuse heating in winter and air conditioning in summer
• Keep our home well insulated.
• Unplug the mobile charger when we do not use it.
• Save water
• Avoid the use of excessive packaging in our purchases.
• Adopt the use of renewable energy.
 BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE RISES

Some of these gases act in the atmosphere like the glass of a greenhouse, that is,
they slow down the heat of the sun and prevent it from escaping out. Most of these
gases occur naturally but, thanks to human industrial activity, the concentrations of
some of them are increasing progressively on earth. Greenhouse gases absorb
thermal radiation and when they accumulate, the weather can suddenly change.
Human activities also influence this as inappropriate energy use, oil combustion,
forest deforestation, waste management in a bad way and industries cause the
accumulation of these gases.
