IS HAPPENING!
Did you Know ? Climate is defined as the typical or average weather for specific place over a long period of time ,which can vary between the seasons.
Ice melting and droughts are vital signs
that Climate Change is Happening . . .
Earth Climate change is the long term change in the average of all areas climates in the world.

WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?Climate change is the change in weather for a specific place such as change in usual temperatures and rainfall rates.
WHY IS CLIMATE CHANGE HAPPENING ? Our Earth is surrounded by a blanket of greenhouses gases(GHG) ,which trap the heat to maintain the earth temperature at a level suitable for humans and the earth ecosystems.
The GHG blanket got thicker and the earth temperature
has increased by 0.6 to 0.9 DegC , leading to
CO2 Levels today have reached to a risky level
Global Warming and Climate Change
Due to human activity , the greenhouse gases concentration has increased drastically following the industrial revolution in the nineties.
WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE?
Failing Crop Yield
Desertification & Land

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF INCREASED GHG EMISSIONS ,& CLIMATE CHANGE ?
1Electricity
Production
2
Use of fossil fuel such as Diesel in all modes of transport. .
Transport
3
Manufacturing processes emit
greenhouse emissions.
Industrial Processes
Burring of Coal , oil and Gas to produce electricity and heat
.
4
Buildings use energy and produce waste,
Commercial & Residential
5
Deforestation and use of pesticides
and fertilizers.
Agriculture & Landuse
6Landfill Waste & Treatment
Decomposition of organic waste in
landfills and Incineration of waste
