My Speech

Last week on Wednesday I had to do my speech. We had to pick a topic to write about for our speech my topic was climate change it took me two weeks to write it but its not much really but im proud of it. We had to say our speech in front of the whole class . Here is my speech

I have a question for you.. do you know about climate change? You probably don't think it's a big deal but it is.  it's not happening in 1000 years it is happening right now. Kids have this intuition that when they grow up that the world is going to end or that they won't be able to grow up because of climate change. The things that we do in the next 20 years will hugely affect  the rest of our future. Im Angel and im here to tell you about climate change. Global warming is a long-term rise of temperature which leads to our polar ice melting. Like greenland it's ice has been melting rapidly over the past 5 years. Greenland's ice reflects most of the sun's rays off our planet and now it's melting and fast how do you think that will affect us if greenland ice is gone that means temperatures will be higher and antarctic ice will melt faster which leads to sea levels rising which also leads to the sea slowly taking up our land. Car pollution also contributes to climate change which is from the rise of greenhouse gases over the years the level of greenhouse gas has vastly risen over the years and it's at its peak.


There are some people who are trying to make a change. In NZ thousands of students from southland to the bay of islands are marching for action on climate change. This also has an effect on the weather. Extreme weather events have increased rapidly over the years we will be seeing more and more of these extreme events more often.like hurricanes tornadoes thunderstorms hail storms all of these are happening more often because of the effect of climate change.Thats why we should walk more often or use a bike to go places so we don't contribute that much to climate change. We can slow it down but we can't stop it. If you do something about it we can help to make a better future for all of us. When you go home you should have a good think about what ive told you and see if you can make a change.
