3. GREENHOUSE EFFECT
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps our plant warm
enough for life.
Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methene, and water
vapour.
These gases allow sunlight to pass through the atmosphere, but trap
heat radiating back from the Earth’s surface.
4. HUMAN ACTIVITIES CAUSING
CLIMATE CHANGE
Burning fossil fuels(coal, oil, natural gas): This releases massive
amounts of carbon dioxide into atmosphere.
Deforestation: Cutting down trees reduces the Earth’s ability to
absorb carbon dioxide.
Agricultural practices: Livestock produce methene, a potent
greenhouse gas.
Industrial processes: Manufacturing and other industries release
various greenhouse gases.
5. EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Rising sea levels threaten coastal cities and regions.
More extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods, and droughts
devastate communities.
Loss of biodiversity as plants and animals struggles to adapt to
changing conditions.
Changing in agricultural patters, affecting food production.
Increased health risks due to heat waves and the spreads of diseases.
6. EFFECTS ON ECOSYSTEMS
Loss Of Animals And Plants: Climate change makes animals and
plants disappear because their homes get too hot or too dry.
Change In Nature’s Schedule: weather changes mess up when flowers
bloom, birds migrate, and animals hibernate.
Hurts Forests: Trees suffer because of warmer weather and more
bugs and diseases.
Sick Seas: Oceans become sour and hurt see creatures, like coral
reefs, because there’s too much CO2 in the water.
Nature’s Help Fades: Nature can’t clean water, give us fresh air, or
stop floods as well when ecosystems are hurt.
7. IMPACT ON HUMAN HEALTH
Heat-related Illnesses: more frequent and intense heatwaves
increases the risk of heatstroke and heat exhaustion, especially
among vulnerable populations like the elderly and young children.
Respiratory Problems: poor air quality due to increased air pollution
worsens respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).
Waterborne Diseases: Contaminated water sources due to flooding
and poor sanitation increase the risk of waterborne diseases like
cholera and diarrheal illnesses.
8. SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS
Higher Costs for leaving: Climate change makes things like food,
water and electricity more expensive.
Jobs Lost or Changed: Some jobs, like farming and fishing, become
harder or disappear because of changing weather and landscapes.
Hurt Businesses: stores, farming and fishing, become harder or
disappear because of changing weather and landscapes.
Homeless and Displaced: Rising seas and stronger storms force
people to leave their homes, becoming refugees and losing
everything.
More Poor people: Climate change makes it harder for some people
to earn money and afford basic things, making poverty worse.
9. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, climate change is one
of the most pressing challenges of
our time, with far-reaching impacts
on ecosystems, human health, and
socio-economic systems. Addressing
climate change requires global
cooperation, mitigation efforts, and
adaptation strategies to build
resilience and protect the planet for
future generations.
