Global Warming: A Call to Action

This speech discusses global warming and its causes and impacts. It explains that global warming is caused by human activities that release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and raise global temperatures, causing extreme weather, rising sea levels, and threats to life on Earth. The speech urges the audience to adopt greener lifestyles through actions like using less fossil fuels, recycling, and planting trees to help address the issue of global warming.

SPEECH ON GLOBAL WARMING


SPEECH ON GLOBAL WARMING

Good morning, everyone, first I want to thank you for this wonderful
opportunity to allow me to share my views on the alarming issue of Global
Warming. The concern has only grown as due to the industrialization and man's
attempts to modernize the style of living.

Let’s first understand what global warming is, it is basically the rise in global
temperature due to the greenhouse gasses that are released into the atmosphere due
to human activities or inventions. The greenhouse gasses consist of water vapor,
carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons. As you
notice the consequences of global warming around the world are already being seen
in the year 2020 with the rising sea levels, forest fires, earthquakes floods and other
such natural occurrences. The main reasons for global warming are the burning of
fossil fuels that release harmful greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide or
nitrogen. These greenhouse gases are depleting the ozone layer that protects the
surface of the earth from the harmful ultraviolet radiation coming from the Sun. So
when these gasses are released into the atmosphere, they tend to absorb the solar
radiation that otherwise naturally bounces of the earth’s surface, and these
pollutants that trap solar radiation suspends in the atmosphere for centuries and
raises the global temperature this is called the greenhouse gas effect, causing to dry
up oceans, polluting the air, ice loss at North and South Poles and melting of
glaciers, and leads to climate changes like storms, heatwaves, wildfires, hurricanes,
droughts, and floods these extreme conditions are only depleting the earth’s ability
to inhabit life. And the threat will only increase in the coming years which will make
it difficult for future generations to inherit a sustainable planet.

With these I would like to conclude my global warming speech by saying that
we must work to adopt a greener and healthier lifestyle. Try to drive less and walk
more or use bicycle. Get into the habit of recycling and avoid unnecessary wastage
of goods. Save electricity by switching off appliances when not in use. Most
importantly, plant a tree as a single tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide in its
lifetime. It is upon us to start acting responsibly for the conservation of the only
planet that supports life, and one can do that by using renewable energy in all
possible ways of day-to-day activities and use biodegradable matter to lead a
sustainable living. Thus, remember, the change begins with you.
