Causes and Consequences

of
CLIMATE
CHANGE
What is Climate Change?
 Climate change is caused by
the buildup of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gas emissions can
come from both natural
sources and manmade
What do you think are the
causes of climate change?
 The following are some of the
causes of climate change:

• Source of energy
-Sourcing energy from
coal-fired power plants
and other fossil fuels.
• Agriculture
1.Cultivating rice

Growing rice in flooded fields requires organic

fertilizers, which emit methane when they
 2. Growing livestock

Ruminant animals like cows and

goats produce methane when they
digest food.
3. Large-scale chemical agriculture
This uses massive amounts of pesticides and
chemical fertilizers, the production of which is
dependent on fossil fuels. The industry also uses
petroleum products for food distribution and
transport.
• Forestry
-Clearing forests for plantation
-Illegal logging
• Transportation
-Using vehicles that run
mainly on oil and petroleum
products
-Using cars instead of mass
transportation
 • Industry
1.Mineral production

2. Metal production
• Waste
-Throwing waste in open
dumps and in landfills
-Burning trash
 What will be the
consequences of climate
change?
▪Rains in Luzon and Visayas will
be heavier, and the dry season
in Mindanao will be longer.
The average temperature in
the country will rise by 0.9°C to
1.1°C by 2020 and 1.8°C to
2.2°C by 2050.
▪Drastic weather changes will
bring about more diseases
such as malaria and dengue.
▪Disasters way more destructive
than Yolanda will happen.
Storm surges will be frequent
and will affect about 42% of the
country’s coastal population.
▪The economy will contract.
♡Best Practices
in the World
Scotland stopped its coal power
production in 2015.
Hawaii passed a law requiring the
100% use of renewable energy by
2045.
Bhutan aimed to practice organic
agriculture as a whole country by
2020
Norway was the first country in the
world to have electric vehicles
topping car sales
Mexico has reduced the rate of its
deforestation by 10 times since the
1990s
Estonia recycles 40 percent of its
waste
Spain has a mandatory program for
building energy labelling
