    This document discusses evidence of climate change, its causes, effects, and solutions. It provides data showing that global temperatures have risen about 1 degree Celsius since 1880, oceans have warmed by 0.33 degrees Celsius since 1969, and sea levels have increased by 20 centimeters in the last century. The main cause is human-produced greenhouse gases from activities like burning fossil fuels. Effects include stronger storms, rising sea levels, easier spread of diseases, and more air pollution. Recommended solutions are speaking up about the issue, reducing plastic waste, buying and recycling more, planting trees, and individual actions like using less stuff.

    CLIMATE CHANGE
    EVIDENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGE

    ● Scientists are given the bigger picture’ on information about Earth with the use
    of satellites that orbit the Earth as well as other technological advances. With the
    data they have collected over the past few years, it shows the negative change of
    climate over time.

    1. Rise in Global Temperature


    - Since the late 19th century, the average surface temperature on Earth
    has risen to 2.05 degrees Fahrenheit/1.14 degrees Celsius
    - The increase in global temperature has increased significantly in the past
    40 years.
    - The six warmest years have occurred since 2014
    - The warmest year was in 2016, with eight months of that year (January
    to September, except June) being the warmest months recorded
    2. Warming of Ocean Temperature
    - The ocean being the number one absorber of the increased global
    temperature, as the Earth stores 90 percent of its extra energy in the ocean.
    - The top 100 meters (around 328 feet) gets warmer by 0.6 degrees
    Fahrenheit/0.33 degrees Celsius since 1969
    3. Rise in Sea Levels
    - In the last century, global sea level has increased around 8 inches/20
    centimeters
    - The rate has doubled in the last two decades alone, and is increasing still
    each year
    CAUSES
    ● The global warming trend seen since the mid-20th century has been
    attributed to the “greenhouse effect”brought by humans. Temperature in the
    Earth’s atmosphere has increased with theheat being trapped in the atmosphere
    due to these different greenhouse gases
    - Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons
    (CFCs)
    ● The probability that globalwarming in the current situation is influenced by
    man-made causes is greater than 95 percent.
    - Different industrial activities in this generation depend onthe use of
    greenhouse gases which have raised carbon dioxide levels from 280parts per
    million to 414 parts per million in the last 150 years.
    - Human-produced greenhouse gases have increased the Earth’s
    temperatures in the past 50 years
    ● The increase in globaltemperature cannot entirely come from the Sun
    because the energy from the Sun has either been constant or had a slight
    increase since 1750
    EFFECTS
    - Global warming
    The global annual temperature has increased at anaverage rate of 0.07°C per
    decade since 1880 and more than double that rate (+0.18°C) since 1981.
    - Rise of Sea Levels
    Global sea level has risen by approximately 8 inches
    since 1880, and is expected to rise by another 1 to 8 feet by 2100.
    - Typhoons will become stronger and more frequent.
    As seas get warmer, more water vapor and heat energy is added into
    the atmosphere which serve as fuels to typhoons, and in the right conditions, can
    make dangerous storms even more powerful.
    - Air pollution
    The extraction and burning of fossil fuels is a major sourceof air pollutants.
    - Easier Spread of Diseases
    Warmer weathers create ideal conditions for waterborne pathogens
    like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
    SOLUTIONS
    - Speak up & Educate
    By voicing out these concerns, may it be through social media or in person,
    we are not only raising awareness about this issue but proving that these
    problems matter and should not be ignored.
    - Reduce plastic waste
    As our climate changes, the planet gets hotter, plastic
    releases powerful greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, due to the sunlight and
    heat.
    - Buy less stuff & Recycle more
    Re-using materials usually uses less energy, and therefore creates less pollution,
    as compared to extracting raw materials.
    - Plant more trees
    Trees help absorb CO2 out of the air and thus, planting more of them
    will help stabilize the climate.
