Consumption and Production Patterns Affecting Climate Change

According to the new study, greenhouse gases began warming the world’s oceans in
the early 1800s, decades earlier than previously thought. Aside from the burning of fossil
fuels, other causes of climate change can be traced from the production patterns and the
consumption patterns of humans.

Production patterns refer to how people generate and manufacture the products they
need to use, sell, or consume. Paper comes from a tree pulp or grass fiber; rubber shoes
come from the sap of the rubber tree; machineries are produced from mine minerals; bread
is made from wheat, cassava, or rice flour; and textile is woven from plants such as cotton,
abaca, and ramie and from animals such as silk, wool, and cashmere.

Food system activities, including producing food, transporting it, and storing wasted
food in landfills, produce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to climate change.
Of these sources, livestock production is the largest, accounting for an estimated 14.5 percent
of global GHG emissions from human activities. Meat from ruminant animals, such as cattle
and goats, are particularly emissions intensive.

How long does it take to melt iron bars and how much is required to turn it into a car
engine? How many trees should be felled to become timber used in construction? Almost
everything comes from natural resources which are depleted every time they are used. Thus,
there is a need to regulate the extraction and to replenish what was used. Are the goods
produced with minimal use of energy? What kind of energy was used for production? How
many barrels of petroleum per day are utilized to manufacture one car? Have you resorted
to alternative sources of energy and related facilities like wind turbines?

NEGOR_Q3_TNCT/HUMSS11_MODULE6A_V2
 If the production pattern is
characterized by heavy dependence on coal,
the problem of climate change will be even
more aggravating. For instance, China has
large coal mines and relies on them for its
energy requirements. This makes China one
of the most polluted countries on Earth due to
its high carbon dioxide emissions. China is
currently the most polluting country in the
world, with a 28 percent share of global CO2
emissions in 2018. Dependence on petroleum
(philstar 2019)
in the manufacture and production of goods
makes U.S. produce 15 percent greenhouse The Malampaya Gas Field located offshore
gas emissions in 2018, while India produce 7 northwest of the island of Palawan,
percent and Russian Federation produce 5 Philippines, which delivers 20% of the
percent of carbon emissions. country's electricity requirements.

Undeniably, these countries contribute much to the depletion of the ozone layer and,
consequently, the worsening of global warming and climate change.

(Data 2008)
Each Country's Share of CO2 Emissions

Consumption patterns involve the use of economic or consumer goods and

resources. Consumption patterns can be categorized as individual, family, company, and
government consumption. These categories have similarities in the items consumed such as
food, clothing, footwear, education, house and furnishings, lighting, fuel, transportation,
communication, recreation, entertainment, health care and medicine, tobacco and narcotics,
as well as insurance.

Consumption patterns are considered as the key driver for the use of resources.
Ecosystems and landscapes are influenced by consumption patterns. Ecosystem resiliency,
the ability of the ecosystem to regenerate, sustain, and adjust what is lost, destroyed, or
added into the environment, are affected by the way the lad is utilized. Overexploitation and
depletion of land resources can diminish the resiliency of the ecosystem.

NEGOR_Q3_TNCT/HUMSS11_MODULE6A_V2
 The quality of the landscape or the natural scenery of the land reflects how the demand
for resources is being addressed. Is forest depletion due to the excessive felling of trees? Are
the mountains leveled for quarrying or for giving way to subdivisions? Are the rivers poisoned
and wildlife displaced due to gold extraction?

Spatial planning (the methods or approaches used in the distribution of, among, others,
people, and activities in spaces of various scales) are the central to the management of
landscape and ecosystem resiliency. Zoning or dividing the town or city into sections for
various purposes (such as commercial, residential, educational, government, recreational,
and botanical and zoological) is salient to spatial planning. This can be initiated by the
government in cooperation with private firms. Thus, spatial planning plays a significant role
in enhancing climate change adaptation, especially within urban areas by improving their
resilience.

A consumerist attitude contributes to the depletion and exhaustion of natural resources,

which thus creates a chain—the more consumption, the more demand; the more demand,
the more production; the more production, the more extraction of natural resources; The more
extraction of natural resources without replenishment, the faster the degradation and
exhaustion of the resources. Running parallel is a chain of consumption—the more
consumption, the more demand; the more consumer demand, the more production; the more
production, the more use of coal or petroleum being the most abundant and cheapest; the
more use of coal or petroleum, the more GHG emission; the more GHG emission, the worse
the global warming will be.

Another major cause of climate change which can be associated with production and
consumption patterns is carbon footprint, “a measure of the total amount of carbon dioxide
and methane emissions of a defined population, system, or activity within the spatial and
temporary boundary of the population, system or activity of interest” (Wright, Kemp, and
Williams, 2011). Greenhouse gases are usually expressed in terms of the amount of carbon
dioxide discharged. The concept of carbon footprint originated from the ecological footprint
discussions in the 1900s. It is one of the three footprint indicators, the two others being land
footprint and water footprint.

(Green 2019)

One’s carbon footprint is summarized in this graphic

NEGOR_Q3_TNCT/HUMSS11_MODULE6A_V2
 Most carbon footprint for the average households come from indirect sources such as
purchasing a product that has gone through several processes from extraction of raw
materials, to its manufacture, transportation, and shortage in stores. All these processes have
contributed to GHG emissions. The farther a product has gone through before reaching the
final consumer, the larger carbon footprint it will emit.

Emissions from burning fuel in a stove or a car are referred to as direct sources of carbon
footprint. The main factors that affect and aggravate carbon footprint include economic
output, energy, population, and the economy’s carbon concentration. These same factors
constitute the main targets for reducing the footprint.

What are the 10 Causes of Global Warming?

1. Power Plants
Forty percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions stem from electricity production. Ninety-
three percent of the electric industry emissions result from burning coal. According to the EPA
coal-fired power plants, municipal and medical waste incineration account for two-thirds of
U.S. mercury emissions.

2. Transportation
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports state that thirty-three percent of U.S.
emissions come from the transportation of people and goods.

3. Farming
Industrial farming and ranching releases huge levels of methane and carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere. Farming contributes forty percent of the methane and twenty percent of the
carbon dioxide to worldwide emissions.

4. Deforestation
Deforestation to use wood for building materials, paper and fuel increases global
warming in two ways—the release of carbon dioxide during the deforestation process and
the reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide that forests can capture.

5. Fertilizers
The use of nitrogen-rich fertilizers increases the amount of heat cropland can store.
Nitrogen oxides can trap up to 300 times more heat than carbon dioxide. Sixty-two percent
of nitrous oxide released comes from agricultural byproducts.

6. Oil Drilling
Burn-off from the oil drilling industry impacts the carbon dioxide released into the
atmosphere. Fossil fuel retrieval, processing, and distribution account for roughly 8% of
carbon dioxide and 30% of methane pollution.

7. Natural Gas Drilling

Touted as a cleaner fuel source, natural gas drilling causes massive air pollution in
states like Wyoming; the hydraulic fracturing technique used to extract natural gas from shale
deposits pollutes ground water sources as well.

8. Permafrost
The melting of permafrost releases tons of trapped greenhouse gases, which further
speeds up the melting of more permafrost. Scientists calculate that approximately five
7

NEGOR_Q3_TNCT/HUMSS11_MODULE6A_V2
hundred gigatons of carbon is trapped in the Siberian permafrost alone. A single gigaton
equals one billion tons.

9. Garbage
As trash breaks down in landfills, it releases methane and nitrous oxide gases.
Approximately eighteen percent of methane gas in the atmosphere comes from waste
disposal and treatment.

10. Volcanic Eruption

Volcanoes expel large quantities of carbon dioxide when they erupt. Volcanoes have an
overall small effect on global warming and an eruption causes a short-term global cooling as
ash in the air reflects greater amounts of solar energy.

(RCraig09 2020)

The diagram indicating primary causes and wide-ranging effects, including feedback, of
global warming and climate change.

What is the Difference Between Human & Natural Air Pollution?

The major difference between natural and man-made air pollution is that continuous or
temporary natural events cause natural air pollution, but human activities are responsible for
man-made pollution. We cannot prevent natural air pollution from sources like volcanoes, but
we can reduce man-made pollutants and their consequences: respiratory diseases, acid rain
and global warming.

In the Air

Air pollutants are gases and particles that harm people or other life, damage materials
or reduce visibility. Some air pollution comes from volcanic eruptions, forest fires and hot
springs, but most is the result of human activities. Power plants, factories, cars, and trucks
emit carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and
particulate matter that consist of fine particles suspended in the air. Burning oil, coal, gasoline,
and other fossil fuels are major causes of man-made air pollution. Other man-made sources
of air pollution include:

NEGOR_Q3_TNCT/HUMSS11_MODULE6A_V2
 ● waste disposal
● dry cleaning
● paints
● chemical manufacture
● wood stoves
● flour mills

Natural Sources of Air Pollution

Natural air pollutants include radon, fog and mist, ozone, ash, soot, salt spray, and
volcanic and combustion gases. Radon is a radioactive gas that seeps from the ground in
some areas, and fog and mist are both dense water vapor at ground level that obscures
vision. Ozone, a chemical formed naturally by the action of sunlight on oxygen, is a pollutant
at ground level but beneficial in the upper atmosphere. A molecule made of three oxygen
atoms, ozone shields the Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun, but it damages
plants and causes breathing problems in the lower atmosphere. Volcanic eruptions and grass
fires launch soot and ash into the atmosphere, which reduces sunlight and lowers
temperatures. Eruptions and fires also produce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other
polluting gases.

Air Pollution Effects

Natural and man-made air pollution harm humans, other life, and the environment.
Particulate matter from burning wood and fossil fuels lodges in the lungs, causing respiratory
problems, and settles in a fine film over buildings, trees, and crops. Carbon monoxide
interferes with the blood's ability to transport oxygen and causes headaches, heart damage
and death. Sulfur dioxide, which is a product of burning coal, irritates eyes, damages lungs,
and makes rain acidic. Acid rain damages buildings and forests and kills aquatic life. Another
contributor to acid rain is nitrogen dioxide emitted by vehicles, industrial boilers, and other
industrial processes. Lead from leaded gasoline, power plants and metal refineries
contaminate crops and livestock and causes brain and kidney damage.

(Tae-min 2021)

Various activities add up the overall carbon footprint.

NEGOR_Q3_TNCT/HUMSS11_MODULE6A_V2
 The carbon footprint of a person, an organization, or a nation can be measured through
GHG assessment or calculation known as carbon accounting. Many carbon calculators can
be found online. A carbon calculator calculates your carbon footprint after you supply
information about your home size, diet, shopping and recreational activities, transportation
choices, heavy appliances, electricity usage, and many more.

It is useful to know the size of the carbon footprint of a population and an area so
strategies can be designed to trim down its size. Process enhancement, product
management, technology development, and carbon offsetting are some applicable strategies.

Carbon offsetting is the reduction of carbon footprint by using other options such as wind
or solar energy. It is said that the best way to diminish carbon footprint is to either cut down
the amount of energy consumed in production or minimize the dependence on carbon-
emitting fuels such as coal and petroleum. Among the energy-generating technologies,
hydroelectric, wind, and nuclear power produce the least carbon dioxide emission per kilowatt
hour.

Individually, you can help shrink the size of carbon footprint. The most commonly used
method is the 4Rs—refuse, reduce, reuse, and recycle. This method is promoted by
organizations advocating the preservation and protection of the environment. We can opt to
use eco-friendly metal straws or long-lasting plastic bags while we can choose to use our
own travel mugs which coffee shops are now happy to refill. And of course, say no to plastic
bottles. For people with cars, one option is to drive less; another is to walk or bike to nearby
destinations. At home, your household can limit the use of heating or cooking appliances, as
well as air-conditioning units. Installing wall or ceiling insulation and turning off lights and
electric fans not in use significantly help reduce the size of your carbon footprint.

(yourteenmag 2018) (rei n.d.)

(Hero Kitchen n.d.) (Parren 2021)

Carbon offsetting can be done in many ways, including the following: (1) switching off the
lights, (2) using bikes, (3) unplugging appliances, and (4) using reusable water bottles.
10

NEGOR_Q3_TNCT/HUMSS11_MODULE6A_V2
 The choice of diet likewise affects your carbon footprint. Rice, red meat, heavily
processed foods, and highly perishable products not immediately consumed or transported
to a far, distant outlet create a bigger carbon footprint.

A carbon handprint movement has been formed to show the importance of individual
carbon offsetting. The movement calls for the reduction of one’s carbon footprint and increase
his or her “handprint,” which is the positive environmental and social impacts one has given
to the planet.

Some forms of carbon offsetting that individuals can do are planting trees in deforested
areas, eating fresh fruits and vegetables instead of canned ones, using public transportation
instead of driving a private car, buying fresh meat instead of processed meat, and making
use of reusable items such as a water container of disposable ones.

At the government level, at least three schemes have been initiated to reduce carbon
emissions; (1) the Kyoto Protocol, which was enforced in 2005; (2) the emission certificates:
(3) carbon offsetting.

The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that aimed to manage and reduce
carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gases. The Protocol was adopted at a conference
in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997 and became international law on February 16, 2005. The Protocol
operationalized the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
192 nations committed to reducing their emissions by an average of 5.2% by 2012, which
would represent about 29% of the world’s total emissions.
