Introduction >>> Today I'm going to talk about a serious environmental issue which has gained many concerns

of people and environmentalists all over the world. It is global warming. What it is >>> Global warming is a situation in which the Earth's average temperature gradually rises. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide or mono dioxide are released from cars and factories into the air, trapped in the atmosphere and causes greenhouse effects which lead to the increase of global temperature. How long it has existed >>> Many people believe that global warming occurred long time ago. However, recent reports show that the situation has become noticeable since developing countries began their industrialization using unclean fuels (in particular, coal) and dirty technologies. How it affects people's lives >>> Global warming has tremendous effects on mankind. Many coastal places will be flooded as the polar ice caps begin to melt. Millions of people will lose their houses. Thousand hectares of crops will disappear that may lead to the food shortage problems. Starvation, wars, natural disasters will take away millions of people's lives and cost a large sum of money. How you think the problem will develop in the future. >>> Despite the fact that many people are aware of global warming, I do not think that this problem will be efficiently improved, or completely solved. Many scientists have pointed out that it will cost hundred years to clean the atmosphere and mend all the ozone holes. Not mention about the cost. There is no way to stop the emissions; we are just trying to reduce them. However, I do believe that if we try our best, we can keep the problem not becoming worse.
