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 global warming are the environmental and social changes caused (directly or indirectly) by human emissions of greenhouse gases. There is a scientific consensus that climate change is occurring, and that human activities are the primary driver.ngoing effects include rising sea levels due to thermal expansion and melting of glaciers and ice sheets, and warming of the ocean surface, leading to increased temperature stratification. Other possible effects include large-scale changes in ocean circulation.
