Science of
Climate Change

Climate and Weather:What is the Difference?
Weather refers to the mix of
events that happen each day in our atmosphere including temperature, rainfall and humidity.
Climate is described in terms of
the mean and variability of temperature, precipitation and wind over a period of time, ranging from months to millions of years.

Factors that influencethe Earth’s Climate
“ The earth’s climate is driven by a continuous flow of energy”
A variation in the Sun’s outputmay externally vary the amount of solar radiation received by the Earth’s atmosphere and surface
Changes in the concentrations of atmospheric gases, mountain building, volcanic activity, and changes in surface albedo may cause and internal variation in the Earth’s climate

Climate and Other Changes - International Labour ... and Other Changes:Emerging Challenges SESSION 1 Ruth SarraGuzman Professor, Rizal Technological University and Board Chair,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062908/5aef7d2c7f8b9a8c308c1967/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“ A statistically significant variation in either the mean state of the climate or change in precipitation,
temperature and wind, persisting typically decades or longer”
- Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
What is Climate Change?
![Page 9: S1. Climate and Other Changes - International Labour ... and Other Changes:Emerging Challenges SESSION 1 Ruth SarraGuzman Professor, Rizal Technological University and Board Chair,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062908/5aef7d2c7f8b9a8c308c1967/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is Climate Change?
“Change in the climate
attributed directly or
indirectly to human
activities , in addition to
natural climate variability
observed, over a comparable
time periods ” - United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)

Factors responsible for Climate Change
“ The earth’s climate is driven by a continuous flow of energy”
Variations in the Earth's orbital characteristics.
Volcanic eruptions
Variations in solar output
Variations in Atmospheric composition

Greenhouse gases (GHGs )
Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, Ozone, Halocarbons, Water vapor and other industrial gases
Exists in the Earth’s atmosphere
Natural temperature control system
Allows solar radiation (sunlight) to pass through and traps infrared radiation (heat) thus warming the atmosphere

The Greenhouse Effect
![Page 13: S1.

Atmospheric levels of
GHGs have nearly
doubled in nearly
150 years, from 280
ppm CO 2e to 430 ppm
- Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2007

Climate and Other Changes - International Labour ... and Other Changes:Emerging Challenges SESSION 1 Ruth SarraGuzman Professor, Rizal Technological University and Board Chair,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062908/5aef7d2c7f8b9a8c308c1967/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Carbon dioxide: Burning of
fossil fuels and deforestation
Methane and nitrous
oxide: Agricultural activities,
land use and wetland changes,
pipeline losses, and covered vented
landfill emission
Ozone: Automobile exhaust
fumes
Long-lived industrial
gases: CFCs, HFCs and PFCs
Rise in GHGs related toHuman Activities
