CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Theoretical Backgrounds 2.1.1 Climate Change According to the World Climate Conference 1979, weather is defined as a condition of atmosphere in a certain period of time, including the changing and the disappearance of a phenomenon. Whereas Gibbs 1987 defines weather as a condition of atmosphere characterized by many parameters, including temperature, pressure, wind, humidity, and several rain phenomenon, in an area in a short period of time minutes, hours, months, seasons, or years. Climate is defined as a synthesis of events related to weather in a long period of time, which is statistically sufficient enough to show the difference between one period to another BMKG. Gibbs 1987 defines climate as a statistical chance of a condition of atmosphere, including temperature, pressure, wind, humidity, which occur in an area in a long period of time. Climate change is the change of conditions of earth‟s atmosphere, including temperature and rainfall density which heavily impacts on many aspects of human lives Ministry of the Environment, 2001. These physical changes happen in a long period of time. National Institute of Aeronautics and Space2002 defines climate change as the average change of one or more elements of weather in an area and global climate change is defined as the change of climate of the earth. IPCC 2001 stated that climate change refers to the average variations of an area‟s climate or to the variability which is statistically
