Today, entering the second decade of the 21st century,clinical patient education and health education have been greatly enhanced in physi-cal and occupational rehabilitation. Therapists use clinical teaching and learning regu-larly in their patientsâ examination, evaluation, plan of care, and interventions. Thegoal of rehabilitation providers is to help their patients learn about the disorder (disease)affecting them and actively participate in the planning of interventions.
The World Meteorological Organization defines this time period as 30 years. Examples of climate change include increases in global surface temperature (global warming), changes in rainfall patterns, and changes in the frequency of extreme weather events.
The effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions include global warming, ocean acidification, smog pollution, ozone depletion and altered plant health, all contributing to global climate change. The main effect of increased greenhouse gas emissions is global warming. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases all help trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere as a part of the greenhouse effect. The Earth's natural greenhouse effect makes life as we know it possible. However, human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have intensified the greenhouse effect, causing global warming.1. Effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions. Increases in the different greenhouse gases have other effects apart from global warming including ocean acidification, smog pollution, ozone depletion as well as changes to plant growth and nutrition levels.
