What is the

global

warming

and climate

change?

How does it

relate to

SWM?

CLIMATE

CHANGE

Is any longterm change inthe patterns of

averageweather of a

specific region.

It is the resultof the globalwarming of the

planet.


5/34

Climate change

results from too

muchconcentration of

pollutants in the

atmosphere

which results to

global warming

and thus affecting

our normalweather patterns.


6/34

Improper waste management and unabated

burning of garbage and agricultural waste leads to

global warming and climate change. Thus the call

for proper waste management.

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

1. Sea level rising

2. Arctic sea is melting

3. Glaciers are melting

4. Sea-surface temperatures arewarming

5. Heavier rainfall causeflooding in many regions

6. Extreme droughtincreasing


10/34

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

7. Ecosystems are changing

8. Hurricane have changed in frequency

and strength

9. More frequent heat waves

Manila Will Sink

JUST LIKE OTHER MAJOR ASIAN CITIES: Manila,coastal villages under threat from sea-level rise ( ByTJ Burgonio);

Source: Philippine Daily Inquirer, 23 Sep 08MANILA, PhilippinesCoastal communities in thePhilippines are under threat from sea level rise, while

a mega, but low-lying city like Manilais vulnerable to more disasters, according to a World

IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON

AGRICULTURE

1. Drought

2. Flood

3. Extreme or erratic rainfall4. Soil erosion

5. Farm sedimentation

6. Pests infestation7. Loss of biodiversity


15/34


AGRICULTURE

5. Infrastructure damage (includes pre & post

harvest facilities)

6. Low agricultural activity7. Migration or displacement of farming

communities

8. Intrusion of sea water (due to sea level rise)


16/34


COASTAL COMMUNITIES

1. Diminishing fish catch

2. Coral bleaching

3. Mangrove loss due to sealevel rise

4. Ocean acidification

5. Extinction of species

6. Migration of species

7. Storm surges8. Coastal beach erosion

9. Infrastructure damage

GLOBAL WARMING

It is the increase in

the average

temperature of the

earths near-

surface air andocean

It is the rising global

temperature (more

heat trapped in theatmosphere which

alters weather

conditions)


19/34

CAUSE

Increase in the atmospheric GHG

(Greenhouse Gases) concentration

Note: Largest contributing source of GHG

is the burning of fossil fuels leading to the

emission of carbon dioxide.


20/34

Where do these GHGs come

from? Carbon dioxide fossil combustion fuel

(coal, oil, gas), land use conversion(deforestation), cement production

Methane fossil fuel, ride paddy (seedsand fertilizers)

Nitrous oxide fertilizers, industrial

processes, combustion


21/34

Where do these GHGs come

from? Chlorofluorocarbon liquid coolants, foam

Hexa liquid coolants

Perfluorocarbon production of aluminum Sulfur hexa fluoride production of

aluminum

Of all the creatures on this earth,

in spite of all its weaknesses it is
