Climate and Humans
Dear boys and girls,
It is a great privilege for me to stand here,sharing my opinions about the interaction between climate and humans.It is known to us all that different from weather,climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular region.It is relatively stable.
However,in recent years,climate has changed a lot.Temperatures have been rising and sea levels are estimated to have risen by over 20 centimetres,which are mainly caused by us humans.In fact,climate and humans affect each other in equal measure.So those changes may bring disasters to human beings.
It’s time to reduce the negative effects of human activity on climate.
We individuals should form “greener” habits like cycling and using public transport.Our government can take measures to prohibit bad behaviour.In conclusion,I hold a firm belief that only by joint efforts can we make a difference to climate change.
Thank you for your listening!
