Global Warning
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls today I am going to try to convince you that Global Warming is here for good and the only thing that can slow it down is that we - the human race needs to change how we live. I am going to tell you some horrible facts about Global Warming and give you some ideas on how each of you can make a difference - so take this Global Warning and Act!

Firstly the facts
The ice at the polar caps (Arctic and Antarctic) is melting and it is expected that within twenty years the sea levels will have increased by up to at least two metres, this means that lots of land and even some pacific islands will be under water.

The weather is becoming more violent and there are far more serious weather problems expected like huge tsunamis, earthquakes, tornados, cyclones and floods. All this is due to global warming and causes a lot of problems for people.

Secondly the consequences
The decrease in the ozone layer is meaning that more UV (Ultra Violet) rays from the sun get through and this means that we can get sunburnt more easily and their is really high levels of skin cancer in new Zealand because of it.

The increase in temperature will increase the fire dangers which is really dangerous for everyone who lives near bush and the increase in temperature will decrease the amount of fresh water because it is evaporating more quickly which means that people will have less water to drink and feed their animals.

Thirdly - what can we do?
We need to reduce our pollution as it is the key reaon why the ozone layer is decreasing, we can do that by using your car less (and this will save your petrol costs too), don't burn plastics, reuse your plastics again, reduce your rubbish and plant more trees to help improve the air.

We can recycle as much as we can, so that we aren't wasting energy and that saves all of the world's resources, We need to really look after our environment or it won't look after us.

We need to use less energy, which includes electricity, travel, food and most importantly use of water.

Conclusion
So ladies and gentleman, boys and girls please help me to save our environment from Global Warming and this will also save us from suffering from Global Warming as well. It takes each of us to make a difference so today is the day - take my Global Warning and Act!!
