  1. climate change as we know it is a major problem
  2. when it comes to the condition of our beloved planet,
  3. glaciers are melting.
  4. Sea levels are rising in.
  5. Climates of certain areas are training significantly high.
  6. I'm some random student and I'm here to talk about
  7. and I'm here to talk about the rising problem with
  8. climate change and what can be done to reduce it
  9. slash prevent it.
  10. Let's get into it.
  11. Shall we glaciers are very important to us as the
  12. store, one of the earth's only sources of fresh water.
  13. So the more they melt, the more fresh water will
  14. be lost when mixing with the ocean's saltwater.
  15. Mhm. This right here is a picture of the glaciers
  16. in the arctic 100 years ago.
  17. Looks nice.
  18. Right. Well, this is them.
  19. Now notice the difference.
  20. One has a great wall full of fresh water while
  21. the other one has nothing but undrinkable shot water.
  22. And because these glaciers are melting, sea levels would rise
  23. and cities like new york will be the next Atlantis
  24. picture it.
  25. People will one day be scuba diving and see the
  26. statue of Liberty in the ocean steps with fish swimming
  27. all around it Now, wouldn't that be fun?
  28. I think it would.
  29. Anyway. Moving on, another issue when it comes to climate
  30. change is a large amounts of toxic gases being released
  31. into the atmosphere, Gases like methane are both trapping all
  32. the hot gases from leaving and destroying the ozone that
  33. protects us from the sun's toxic raise.
  34. It's incredibly important that we have this Siberia as it's
  35. the only thing stopping the sun's rays from touching our
  36. skin and giving us skin cancer.
  37. Yes. Skin cancer.
  38. It happened in Australia.
  39. Look it up.
  40. A lot of these gases are produced by everything.
  41. Everyday things like certain cars and the kind of energy
  42. people use.
  43. What I mean by that.
  44. I'm referring to the use of non renewable energy sources.
  45. The most used energy sources well oil, which isn't good
  46. for the earth at all.
  47. It damages the air and destroys bodies of water once
  48. spilled. Hence why many companies have pushed the idea of
  49. going green, which simply means using renewable energy as the
  50. main energy source in the United States or globally take
  51. solar energy.
  52. For example, it doesn't harm the environment, It's a renewable
  53. energy source and it doesn't produce dangerous gases along with
  54. healthier energy sources.
  55. Car brands have also been pushing the idea of instead
  56. of using gas cars to use electric cars.
  57. Mhm. As you can see, many things can be done
  58. to reduce the effects of climate change.
  59. But how can we go to seek change?
  60. Well, an obvious choice as well protest.
  61. But knowing how certain people are, people will take the
  62. opportunity and start looting and do all sorts of bad
  63. things that happened with BLM and it could very much
  64. happen again back to what I was saying.
  65. However, we can also start by installing various solar panels
  66. throughout the world, whether on buildings or on houses.
  67. I know from personal experience is that in my area
  68. a lot of people have built solar panels on their
  69. roofs, which is very, very good to see.
  70. We could also install more windmills in big open areas
  71. to serve as alternatives for energy sources aside from oil.
  72. Yeah, well, of course, comes the bad side of this
  73. plan being held.
  74. These energy sources only work in certain conditions.
  75. That being said, I could see people rebelling and continue
  76. using non renewable energy sources such as oil or natural
  77. gas is like uh smoke produced from fire.
  78. I hate that basically anti maskers with the coronavirus all
  79. over again.
  80. On the bright side.
  81. However, if people cooperate and don't start World World Three,
  82. the planet would potentially be a better slash healthier place.
  83. Oceans will be clean from the oil, toxic toxic gases
  84. will be produced in large, large amounts and climates won't
  85. change the point where places like the, like the Sahara
  86. desert gets no.
  87. Well, that's how I'm going to say.
  88. I hope you guys have a great day or night
  89. and thanks for listening to my ted talk.
