Good afternoon, everyone. It is with great pleasure to welcome everyone who chosen to come. My name is [NAVN A], and I am a student at Columbia University, like all of you. I am studying economics, and therefore I find today's topic, climate change, very appealing. Feel free to ask any questions that come to mind, but first when I finish my speech. I hope today's speech will inspire ideas and discussions that will lead to ways that will make our earth a better place. The main idea of globalization is to increase international trade. However, the farther a product travels from a company to a consumer, the more fuel is consumed, and the more greenhouse gas emissions are produced, contributing to pollution.
For that reason, climate change is threatening our economy, security, and health. Based on the enormous climate change President Barack Obama has announced The Clean Power Plan. The primary purpose is to reduce carbon pollution, reduce health and environmental issues in America and worldwide, increase awareness on global warming and finally make America the number one leader in fighting global warming.
Though it all sounds terrific, the plan has numerous flaws, which implies concerns from the United States of America. The question is about the possibility that coal plants cannot do what they have always done. If not, state economies would suffer huge economically, and people would be laid off.
