Young people of the nation, as you should probably know, global warming has been the key environment issue for many years. Global warming, as the name suggest, is a global issue.

Firstly, I shall give a brief introduction of global warming. Global Warming is affecting the world. The increase of greenhouse gases has cause the temperature to vastly rise. This is cause mostly by deforestation. Why deforestation is among the many causes? Deforestation cuts down large amounts of trees. Without trees, there would be less plants. Plants go through the process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide to make glucose, which is sugar, and produces oxygen as a waste product.Without plants, and indirectly without photosynthesis, the increase of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide is inevitable.

My appeal to you is this. Young people like you love the comfort of cars and air-conditioners. Air-conditioners run on electricity. Electricity is generated by burning natural resources. I won't go into the details. Burning natural resources requires a great deal of heating. Fire consumes oxygen. The waste product of heating is none other than the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. What is worse is that it also pollutes the air with smoke. Young people can enjoy comfort. Who doesn't want to? However, we should at least save some electricity and be more environmentally-friendly.

The serious effects of global warming could be the ice caps melting. The heat is melting it. It can cause the entire nation, even Russia which is the largest country in the globe, to be complete submerged. I know that even youngsters would not want it to happen.

Our actions that affect the world, would in term, affect us. Hence, we should protect the Earth. It is our home. You destroy Earth, you destroy yourself.

Thank you.
