Climate Change: The Uprising Phenomenon
Climate Change is an occurrence wherein there is a change in weather; more specifically, it is the distribution of weather events in a specific region or in the entirety of earth in a period of time.
There is such, referring to climate change, mainly because of the amount of energy released by the sun as well as the presence of greenhouse gasses and aerosols in the atmosphere, and the properties of the earth’s surface, which verifies the amount of energy from the sun that remains or bounces back to space.
In a more delved and eloquent characterization, the actual causes are divided into two – natural causes and human causes. The natural sources of climate change are continental drifts, volcanos, the earth’s tilt and ocean currents. As for the human causes, there is actually only one (stated from the Mapua-CWTS Module) which is the Greenhouse gasses inclusive of Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and Nitrogen. Let us narrow down the human causes in order for us to grasp and understand how we humans are contributing to such climatic disaster.
As stated from above, there are two causes of climate change, and one of which is due to human grounds, specifically through the production of greenhouse gasses. How exactly?
Humans contribute to the emission of greenhouse gasses because of the reasons that: a) electricity is basically the main source for power whereas such energy is distributed by thermal power plants which utilizes fossil fuels responsible in the emission of greenhouse gasses, b) modes of transportation such as cars and buses are run by petrol or diesel which are both fossil fuels, c) wastes in the form of plastics that are loitered for several years, d) usage of timber for the construction of infrastructures, which requires
