With no fresh morning breeze, instead hot blowing winds.

With no blue infinite skies, instead smoke-filled atmosphere.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,

I am the environmental ambassador from Sydney, Australia, and I am honoured to be present here at this year’s United Nations conference. My concerns are highly directed and revolve around an environmental issue that I’m convinced that all of you have at least heard of, yet done nothing about, and this issue is global warming.

In 3 seconds we destroyed nature, made many species go extinct and now we’re putting the planet that contained us for so long on fire! There are more factors affecting global warming, not only the three I mentioned, and if I go on speaking about those factors, it will require me days and years to finish. However, instead of listing and analysing these issues, let us start doing something about them!

Again it’s not the time to list, it is the time to do. Our Earth is calling us, she’s giving us chances to redeem ourselves and fix what we broke. However, she won’t be able to wait for eternity, thus we have to make the decision and assist her to stay. Let us all end our shared enemy; global

    The subject of climate change has been hotly debated over the past decade. It is now obvious that the climate is changing and that it is more than likely going to cause problems in the future. The amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere has considerably increased since the Industrial Revolution.

This is called the greenhouse effect and although essential to the survival of all life on Earth, this process has gotten out of hand recently.…
