I learned that…
This is the start. Temperature increases as year passes by. Sometimes it’s too hot, sometimes it’s too cold. Unusual things start to happen. Our planet is now threatened by climate change and we must do something. Climate change is endangering development success while the poor and marginalized are often affected the most. As of these, mitigation together with adaptation can help reduce the effect of climate change.
Mitigation is taken to permanently eliminate or reduce the long-term risk and hazards of climate change to human life, property. Since the number one contributor of climate change is carbon dioxide, we should reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. One of the effective ways is by planting trees. Trees use carbon dioxide in performing photosynthesis therefore lessening the amount of carbon dioxide.
The amount of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cannot be easily removed. As of that, climate change is kind of inevitable. Together with mitigation, we should learn to adapt with climate change. Adaptation means modifying the social and natural environment so that the effects of climate change hazards do not affect us, and our way of life, so severely.
Through mitigation and adaptation, the effects of climate change will not be that threatening. It’s time to apply what we’ve learned! We need to reduce greenhouse emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Online Activity:
I watched a video about…
- “Climate Change: It’s time for decisions now” It is an online video from youtube(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO46sPwm4xk)prepared by GIZonlineTV. It’s time to apply what we've learned! We need to reduce greenhouse emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
I participated in the online discussion by…
It is by means of posting my insights and reflections on one my social networking sites, which is my blogger. I also shared it to my family and friends, encouraging everyone to save earth from climate change. I know this is too small, but I believed that small things can make a difference.
