CONSEQUENCES OF PERSONAL AND LOCAL ACTION TO GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE

In this lesson, you will understand the consequences of personal and local action to global climate change. You will also
analyze how and why production and consumption habits contribute to the problem of climate change, and write a
resolution that you can share with your friends about how you can personally contribute in solving the problem on
climate change. At the end of the lesson, you are expected to: explain the effects of consumption and production
patterns on climate change; discuss personal contributions that can actually solve the problem of climate change; and
make a stand on how the consequences of one’s action affect the lives of others and the environment.

Weather tells the environmental condition in a specific place. It can be rainy, sunny, windy or snowy, etc.

Climate describes the weather conditions expected in a particular place in a specific time of the year.

Climate change refers to the significant change in the average conditions of temperature and rainfall in a particular
region over a long period of time. It is already happening in our planet even before it is inhabited by humans but
scientists have observed that changes nowadays are too unusual, making them more alarmed. For over 20,000
years, much of the European regions were covered with glaciers. Today, climate all over Europe is quite warmer
compared to its condition 20,000 years ago. Globally, warming temperatures and changes in precipitation are
observed. The results of all these climatic changes include:

A. sea levels rising,

B. fewer mountain glaciers,
C. faster melting of the ice in Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic, and
D. changes in flower and plant blooming times.

A lot of factors are contributory to the global climate change but scientists have agreed that human activities
have been the biggest contributor to such change. Burning fuel in factories, cars and buses affects the earth’s
natural greenhouse. The heat of the planet is trapped in the atmosphere making the Earth warmer. This
phenomenon is called the greenhouse effect.

Both production and consumption of goods contribute to global warming. Production as in manufacturing
utilizes technology that emits large amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Distribution of goods such as shipping
and storage in warehouses and distribution centers also produces hydrofluorocarbons that contribute to the
greenhouse effect. Consumption produces wastes especially non–biodegradable one that pollutes the atmosphere
when disposed through burning which also releases carbons.

Disadvantages
A. Failing economy will have a domino effect on its trading partner in another counter. This is evident
among the European Union in which bail-out was made to save an economically failing nation.
B. Wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of small group of corporate elite putting smaller
competitors in disadvantageous situation resulting to weakening of their business capability that usually
ends up selling their business to bigger companies.
C. Introduction of international products and brand makes way for business domination of bigger and
developed countries making the cultural exchange one-sided in favor of those who dominate the
market.

Learning Task 3. Answer the following questions in a separate sheet of paper.

1. What is climate change? How does it affect the earth and its people?
2. How do human activities contribute to climate change?
3. How can production and consumption of goods be neutralized to minimize its ill effect to the environment?

Learning Task 4: List down manufacturing and production activities and give their harmful effects to the environment.
