    Weather is what you getWeather is the present condition of the atmosphere

    or it is a day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere at

    a particular place and time

    Climate is what you expectClimate is the average of weather for a particular area

    a over a period of time ranging from months to

    decade, thousands or millions of years.

    Climate change

    Refers to any distinctchange in measures of

    climate lasting for a long period of time.

    Means major changes in temperature, rainfall,

    snow, or wind patterns lasting for decades or

    longer

    Both human-made and natural factors

    contribute to climate change

    Global warming

    An average increase in temperatures near the

    Earths surface and in the lowest layer of the

    atmosphere

    Increases in temperatures in our Earths

    atmosphere can contribute to changes in

    global climate patterns

    Considered part of climate change along withchanges in precipitation, sea level, etc.

    Climate variability refers to shorter term

    fluctuations in climate such as those caused by

    the El Nio Southern Oscillation (ENSO)

    Phenomenon.

    What is Climate variability?

    support life.

    A diagram showing how additional greenhouse gases

    trap more heat in the Earths atmosphere and raises

    the temperature.

    Example of the Greenhouse Effect

    The Suns energy

    passes through the

    cars windshield.This energy (heat) is

    trapped inside the carand cannot pass back

    through the

    windshield, causing

    the inside of the car towarm up.

    CLIMATE CHANGE = CHANGE IN CLIMATE

    Climate change is the long term shift or alteration in the climate of a

    specific location or region. Climate change is attributed to the dramatic increase in green

    house gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere, trapping heat andcreating the greenhouse effect or global warming

    In the recent World Risk Index report released in August 2011

    the Philippines ranks 3rd in the list of countries most

    vulnerable to climate change.

    According to any criteria, the Philippines is an extremely

    dangerous place to inhabit. One of the most comprehensiverecords on the occurrence of recent natural hazards even

    advised that the archipelago has experienced more disasters

    than any other country in the world since 1900.
