Climate includes patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and seasons.
"Climate change"
affects more than just a change in the weather, it refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time.
These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human
economies and cultures that depend on them. Because so many systems are tied to climate, a change in
climate can affect many related aspects of where and how people, plants and animals live, such as food
production, availability and use of water, and health risks. For example, a change in the usual timing of
rains or temperatures can affect when plants bloom and set fruit, when insects hatch or when streams
are their fullest. This can affect historically synchronized pollination of crops, food for migrating birds,
spawning of fish, water supplies for drinking and irrigation, forest health, and more. Some short-term
climate variation is normal, but longer-term trends now indicate a changing climate. A year or two of an
extreme change in temperature or other condition doesn’t mean a climate change trend has been
"erased.” Worldwide, people are paying serious attention to climate change. In Washington state,
climate change is already disrupting our environment, economy and communities. We can help slow it
down, but we must take action now.
Since elementary days , maybe, some of you like me, always heard about how to manage proper
segregation of waste materials, plant more trees, burning garbage and etc. We keep on hearing same
teachings and reminders inside and outside the school but we never tend to learn how to do it properly.
I don’t know if we are just too lazy or we just don’t give a care about it. As years passed, out of concern,
we didn’t notice that our environment suffers from our wrong acts. Climates have changed considerably
during the earths history. It was being shown by the past study, thorough the record of rocks and fossils.
Several theories have been advanced to explain climatic change overtime. There are many factors that
affects climate, yet for me, man has the ability to influence climate change. As I observed, the climates
of cities differ from the climates of surrounding areas. Why do you think it is like this???
Since through the years, human have made many changes in the environment. They have cut down
trees and planted crops in their place. The fast growing population has something to do with the
environment. The more people dwell in a certain area, the more houses and buildings are needed to be
and salts beds into both residential and commercial areas. And because of the globalization being made
more industrial plants were being built. Industrial plants fill the air with smoke and dangerous chemicals,
pollute the lakes and streams with waste and toxic by products, and wear out or damage parts of the
surrounding land. In short, human inventions brought about progress, but destroyed the natural
environment. These environmental problems have endangered not only humans, but also most of other
living creatures. Through they say that every project was approved by the DENR ,still we to face the
disadvantages of these so called environmental problems. To pinpoint some of these nvironmental
abuse and serious forms of pollution, there is the climate change. Climate change, the term is used to
refer specifically caused by human activity, as opposed to changes in climate change that may have
resulted as part of Earths natural processes, and the differentiation of these two causes, human impact
vs. natural resources is a key component of the climate change debate. But there’s no to debate in this
two causes because we live in an ecosystem where in we are interdependent. People do not always
have control over their environment as some changes are brought about our activities. A basic concept
in a sustainable society is conversation--- a strategy to reduce the use of resources and energy through
decreased demand and increased efficiency. One of the most effective ways conserving resources and
energy is by recycling. It may seem that these examples are radical in nature but in fact, they are leading
towards a simpler, more reliable , and more efficient way of living. Sustainable living is not an activity
that is to be done a certain timetable, rather it is a way of life all us can and must adhere to.
So, even though it sounds irritating, always put in our mind that “Nasa Sa Atin ang Kaligtasan ni Inang
Kalikasan”. We should help each other, we do our part an not just to rely all the responsibilities to our
environmentalist who are seeking ways in which human can live and prosper without damaging the
environment for future generations. I hope that we are learning from the calamities that we are
experiencing right now.
