Climate Change: Causes and Effects

People have been hearing the words “climate change” like clichés from old movies, but no one is really aware how deadly those two words can be. Those two words may take lives of millions of people and starve a whole nation. Take for example typhoon Ondoy’s devastation in our country, people drowned, and an entire nation went under state of calamity. Indeed the effects of climate change chooses no one, be it rich or poor, educated or not, sickly or healthy, no one.
Climate change is caused by many factors such as plate tectonics, solar outputs, orbital variations, volcanism, ocean variability and of course, us, human beings. The plate tectonics affect climate change because whenever the plates move the ocean circulation changes. These ocean circulations are important in controlling heat transfer and moisture across the globe and in determining global climate. If the location of the oceans changes then, elements such as heat and moisture also change, resulting to climate change.

Another cause of climate change is the solar output. The sun provides us heat and the sun’s heat is very important in cloud formations and different weather conditions. As the ozone layer thins out, the sun’s radiation and heat increases affecting different elemental cycles we have today such as cloud formations and rains. The hotter the sun, the more evaporation, the more rain we get. As the sun changes its output, the more imbalanced our cycles are. These solar outputs also affect ocean variability.

The next one has great relation with the solar output which is the orbital variation of the earth. Whenever the earth changes its orbit even in the slightest manner, the amount of sun we get also changes, leading to problems regarding the sun’s output. On the other hand, volcanic processes like volcanic eruptions, hot springs and geysers also cause climate change. Whenever volcanoes erupt the temperature cools due to the blocking of the solar radiation of the sun.
Lastly, us, humans greatly contribute in causing climate change. We do irrigation and other activities such as inventing gadgets and formulas thinning the ozone layer. Climate change may be cause by natural calamities and happenings but, the only thing we can do now is to prevent it from happening and not contribute to the hasting of climate change.
