Speech on climate change

Dear delegates, students, and fellow global citizens. I am very grateful to be here today. I am here today because I want to give a speech about climate change. Nearly everything we do today have consequences for the climate. For example, when we make clothes the making process make a lot of Co2 and that is causing global warming. When we produce meat, it releases a lot of Co2 that is also causing global warming. So, as you can tell out from these two examples the most things, we do today cause global warming. We need to change many things to stop the climate change. But some of the things is necessary for us to be able to do anything. Clothes keep us warm and cover our private parts, food is necessary for humans to live. Things like airplanes, cars, and motorbikes is just a transport that is quicker than walking, running, and biking. If we want to make a difference, we need to try to cut some of the unnecessary things off like a car. Don’t get me wrong. A car is useful and primitive but if we don’t use it as much as we do today, we can make a difference. By starting off with everyone who is listening to this speech could try 1 or 2 days of the week you can only run, walk, and bike to the places you need to go to. If everyone started doing that and keep telling more people to do the same thing, then we would make a difference and help saving the world. Another thing is like recycling. For example, plastic bottles can be recycled and in some countries like Denmark you get paid for putting plastic bottles in a machine so to country can melt it again and use a used bottle to make a new bottle, so they save the world a bit more than if they needed to make a new one every time. Another thing we could do is to use less electricity than usually. We could work on finding many new ways to get green energy from like windmills, solar cells, and hydroelectric power. If we could give everyone just one solar cell on top of their house it would be better for the climate. The things global warming is causing is not very good. For example, in Antarctica the ice is melting and causes the water level to rise. Study shows that cities like Vendee will be under water in 15 - 20 years from now if we don’t change the way we live. If we are unlucky many things like water levels which will rise and who knows how much. Maybe it is not only cities like Vendee but other cities that are high above sea-level. No one knows what will happen in 25 - 30 years from now if we keep living like this. So help the world today and change your life where it is not necessary for you to live a long happy life. It’s been a pleasure to speak to you today. Thank you for your attention
