Climate Change

Activity No. 23 (Maria Victoria B. Reccion)

He has always been my greatest artist. God had made the earth in a matter of a week and it’s so beautiful. Everything God has made has always been beautiful… until we came to the picture. When we are created on the sixth day, God was ecstatic. He was very happy of his creation. The earth was peaceful that time until the time that people abuse His creation.

 Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average (e.g., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth.

Scientists say that on the broadest scale, the rate at which energy is received from the sun and the rate at which it is lost to space determine the equilibrium temperature and climate of Earth. This energy is distributed around the globe by winds, ocean currents, and other mechanisms to affect the climates of different regions. The possible causes of this phenomenon may not be always big. Even little acts like smoking can bring a big change to the earth. Using air conditioner is also a way to pollute the environment.

All of these can lead to destruction to our planet and some day it will if we do not do something to prevent it.  Protecting our basic resources like reduction of greenhouse gases and protection of the Earth's atmosphere are two of the most important objectives of sustainable development.
