...discuss one of the greatest subjects in the history of mankind! If we don’t act now, the planet as we know it will never be the same. I am here today, to fight for the future, to fight for the coming generations and to fight for our survival! The world as we know it is changing! Today is the day! The day where we will be united as one. Today is the day where we make use of the endless power and intelligence God gave us upon creation. We will work together as a team, regardless of wealth and poverty, black and white, young and old, gay and straight, disabled and not disabled, to save the future of tomorrow! A study, by scientists at the World Health Organization determined that 154,000 people die every year from the effects of global warming. These numbers could almost double by 2020. This is not acceptable! We can’t just close our eyes, and hope for the best. We made this problem, and we are the only ones who can get us back on track. No nation, however large or small, wealthy or poor, can escape the impact of climate change. Rising sea levels threaten every coastline and families are already being forced to flee their homes as climate refugees. More powerful storms and floods threaten every continent. Katrina as well as the tsunami in 2004 was just the beginning. Fellow citizens! Is this really a place for our children to live, to grow up? You and I may not feel the consequences of the climate change at the moment, but trust me on this; our children and our grandchildren...

...窗体底端 The global warming speech you will find below discusses a topic close to the hearts of many of us. In fact, it's a topic that is likely to remain current until measures designed to protect the environment are seen to be having a positive impact. Beginning of Global Warming Speech "That so many of us are here today is a recognition that the threat from climate change is serious, it is urgent, and it is growing. Our generation's response to this challenge will be judged by history, for if we fail to meet it - boldly, swiftly, and together - we risk consigning future generations to an irreversible catastrophe." These are the words President Obama used to begin his global warming speech before the United Nations Summit in 2009. Search Google for global warming and you will get almost 65 million pages of results. The subject has certainly drawn a lot of attention. But just what is global warming? What is causing it? What effects does it have on the earth and its inhabitants? What are some possible solutions? These are the questions that I will be addressing in this short, informative speech today. What is Global Warming? Global warming is the gradual increase of the temperature of earth's atmosphere and oceans. Over the past century the average temperatures have gone up by just over one degree. This may not seem like much, but many scientists agree that the earth's temperatures are starting to increase at a faster rate. What Causes It? Global warming occurs...

...Global warming speech What is global warming? Global warming is the gradual increase of the temperature of earth's atmosphere and oceans. Over the past century the average temperatures have gone up by just over one degree. This may not seem like much, but many scientists agree that the earth's temperatures are starting to increase at a faster rate. What causes it? Global warming occurs when greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane trap heat inside the earth's atmosphere. Think about what happens when you open your car door after the windows have been rolled up on a hot day. Heat from the sun enters the car, but the frame of the car prevents it from escaping. To a small extent, this is a representation of what happens during global warming. Burning fossil fuels like petroleum and deforestation both contribute to the problem What Effects does Climate Change Have on the Earth and its Inhabitants? Global warming has already started to affect the earth in several ways. Arctic glaciers have begun to melt, threatening life such as the polar bears. Melting glaciers also cause sea levels to rise. This could become a problem for low land areas like the ones in the South Sea Islands. Ocean temperatures have begun to rise. This causes some of the algae to die which can affect the entire food chain. What are some Possible Solutions to the Problem? There are ways we can combat the effects of global warming. The Clean Air Act of 1990 is a law in the...

In Beirut, in the few next years we will not have any trees and green planets. The climate will be changing. In the North and Antarctica, the ice will melt and rise the level of the sea, which is caused from the change of temperatures. Also, global warming has many causes, who can destroy the green world. All its causes and effects should be studied in science, and by scientific to come with some result and solutions to solve this fact.Barak Obama said;” All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real.

...13 October 2009 Global Warming The Earth's climate is constantly changing over time. Many climatologists believe that the temperature of the Earth slowly fluctuates over time. In fact, several scientists estimate that between 15,000 and 30,000 years ago the Earth was covered by large sheets of ice. This period of time was known as the Ice Age. As the temperature of the Earth began to rise 7,000 years ago, the Ice Age came to an end. The first theory of global warming came in 1824 when French mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier discovered that the Earth's temperature was slowly increasing. Fourier argued that the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation and reflects it back toward the earth. In the late 19th century Fourier's theory was labeled the "greenhouse effect" when Nobel Laureate Svante Arrhenius coined the term to explain how carbon dioxide traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Today, scientists disagree on the effects of global warming while some deny the phenomena all together. Despite these arguments many historians point out the direct relationship between man and the environment, often referencing the American Dust Bowl of the 1930s, where large scale soil erosion reduced parts of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas to arid deserts. Currently, many governments and corporations are working to reduce fuel emissions and produce "Earth friendly" products such as hybrid cars. Yet, many scientists warn that global warming is an imminent and...

...In the year 2014, it seems that there should be no doubt that global warming is among us and climate change is affecting the earth in a negative pattern. What many people are unsure about in regards to climate change include where it comes from, what the major implications could be if global warming is not addressed, as well as what we as humans living on planet earth can do to aide in creating a sustainable future. Through this article, with the help of experts, we will address all of these areas involved with today’s climate change. It is hard to pin point one exact cause for climate change because in reality there are many things that contribute to it. Al Gore points out in his speech that the burning of fossil fuels, namely coal, is the main reason that we are observing global warming. (Gore, 2009) According to the EPA, the electricity we create today by burning these fossil fuels accounted for thirty-two percent of greenhouse gas emissions in 2012. Although burning coal and fossil fuels is the number one source of greenhouse gas emissions, a surprising factor to climate change is the fact that agriculture makes up for nearly ten percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Agricultural emissions come from sources such as agricultural soils, rice production, as well as livestock, such as cows. (Environmental Protection Agency, 2012) Environmental author Anna Lappé also notes agriculture as being a large source of the greenhouse gas emissions weakening our planets health. Lappé...

...several important purposes. His primary purpose is to convince us through scientific evidence that climate change is caused by human influences, that it is deadly and real, and that we must act swiftly to fix the problem. Gore begins his speech by mentioning the fact that he has a purpose, but he doesn’t immediately tell us what that purpose is. He says that “I pray what I am feeling in my heart will be communicated clearly enough that those who hear me will say, “We must act””, but he hasn’t yet told us what it is we must do. He tells us that “The distinguished scientists with whom it is the greatest honor of my life to share this award have laid before us a choice between two different futures.” Gore makes the claim that these scientists are the ones who have such strong opinions on this topic. His job is simply to make their opinions well known. After introducing climate change and giving plenty of scientific evidence that this problem exists, he reveals the second part of his speech’s purpose: “We must quickly mobilize our civilization with the urgency and resolve that has previously been seen only when nations mobilized for war.” He wants us to accept the need to fix this problem now. In order to motivate us towards change, he hopes that his speech will release “a mighty surge of courage, hope, and readiness to sacrifice for a protracted and mortal struggle.” An additional and important message Gore conveys is an argument against those in favor of trusting the “invisible hand”...

An Inconvenient Truth Reaction Paper The award winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore is an eye opener and somehow it is a wake up call for me. I have heard about global warming way back high school and heard it often when I entered college. I knew the meaning of the term global warming and that was it. I knew a little about it, what causes global warming and how fatal are its effects to Earth. And honestly, I never really cared. I was one of those people who treat it very lightly and after watching An Inconvenient Truth I was caught off guard by the concrete and hard fact. After watching the documentary I knew what Earth’s big time enemy is today, and that is global warming. The documentary gave me a deeper understanding of what global warming really is and what will be the consequences if we do not do something about it. The way the documentary is presented is very effective. Al Gore defined and described global warming in a way a...

...A speech delivered by group eight on the subject: The role of the Ghanaian Youth in combating Global Warming on this occasions of International youth day at Presbytarian boys Senior High School-Accra. Madam Chairperson, Mrs. Betty Mould Iddrisu( Minister of Education), Hon. Clement Kofi Humado (Minister of Youth and Sport), The Headmaster, Staffs, Students, The media, Distinguished invited guest, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is a privilege to be among you, on this faithful day of World International Youth Day to share with you knowledge on Global Warming which is one of the most critical global challenges of our time and the role we as Ghanaian Youths have to play to curtail this concern. What at all is global warming that, we are talking is about? To be on an even field of play, according to Oracle Education Foundation-ThinkQuest; Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). This happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature, termed as Greenhouse effect. Recent events have emphatically demonstrated our growing vulnerability to global warming. Global warming impacts range from affecting agriculture, further endangering food security, to sea-level rise and the accelerated erosion of coastal zones increasing the intensity of natural disasters, species extinction, and spread of vector-borne diseases. This issue is...

...Analysis of the Ted.com The speaker: Rob Dunbar The title of the talk: Discovering ancient climate in oceans and ice The theme of the speech is ecological problems of the ocean warming and acidification. The genre of rhetoric is academic performance at the conference. The speaker reveals new scientific facts and the experiment results to form a different point of view on the global ecological problems of the ocean. The aim of the performance is to persuade the audience that ocean acidification is much more important than the global warming, which took place on Earth several times. The main persuasive instrument is logical proof, though the speaker combines both rational and emotional argumentation. The arguments had been thoroughly chosen in advance according to the principle of the qualitative approach to the argument selection. Moreover, they are put in Homer’s order «strong – weak – the strongest», which efficiency is based on the psychological «edge effect» of memory. The speech is classically composed and consists of three parts: introduction, main part and conclusion. The introductory part is worth more attention. Evidently, the speaker had spent lots of time choosing the right words to say and there had been many options of the probable introduction. And the necessary aims had been achieved: he managed to draw people’s attention to the problem, to break the ice and to inspire confidence in his report. There is no greeting and the speaker takes the bull by the...

...continues on into the future one can also look at the timeline of controversial topics throughout history and see how the public perception has also changed as time has progressed. The change of public opinions overtime may very well be due to the fact of how the media presents the topic to the public. The portrayal of a certain controversial subject can either demonize or glorify a particular topic all depending on the public’s mindset during that specific time and the presentation of the story. Such specific controversial topics overtime to name which created this bias include: Freedom of Speech, African-American rights, women’s rights, racism, and the topic of In God We Trust vs. Freedom of Religion in America. These are just a few to name from previous years as today’s ethical issues include: war, same sex- marriages, legalization of marijuana, divorce, crime increase, equality, and Global Warming. The different forms of communication that have been used to reach the mass media overtime are the newspaper, telegraph, radio, magazines, television, and internet. The definition of the news can be classified into two concepts. “News and newsworthiness”, that means that the main objective of the press is to release information about significant changes that can affect a large group of people or possibly society as a whole (Vivian, 2011). Television reporter’s main intent is to always stay away from sounding biased, which means both debating parties should be presented in the story. An...

...cycle. In the 1970’s many environmentalists were concerned about “global cooling” because of manmade atmospheric pollution blocking out the sun, which would freeze the earth, kill all life forms, and make Earth completely uninhabitable. Since about 1940, the Earth did in fact appear to be cooling but then in the 1980’s and the 1990’s temperatures began to increase which created the theory of “global warming” (Geo Craft). According to The Cooling World written by Peter Gwynne in 1975, “Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve” (Gwynne). Obviously, this is part of Earth’s cycle, if it was not for this cycle, well then we would still be living in the ice age because the glaciers would have never melted to begin with. It’s a pattern. A pattern that we must discover and learn because without it, people will constantly be living in fear, under the impression that if something is not done, the world will end… However, as stated in his speech to the senate on July 28th, 2003 by James M. Inhoffe, “With all of the hysteria, all of the fear, all of the phony science, could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people?...
