Respected Principal, teachers and all my dear friends.

Assalaam Alaikum.
Today I am here to give a speech about global warming.
Global warming is basically the rise in global temperature due to the greenhouse
gasses that are released into the atmosphere due to human activities or
inventions. The greenhouse gasses consist of water vapor, carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons. 
When the greenhouses gasses are released into the atmosphere, they tend to
absorb the solar radiation that otherwise naturally bounces of the earth’s
surface, and these pollutants that trap solar radiation suspends in the atmosphere
for centuries and raises the global temperature this is called the greenhouse gas
effect, causing to dry up oceans, polluting the air, ice loss at North and South
Poles and melting of glaciers, and leads to climate changes like storms,
heatwaves, wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, and floods these extreme conditions
are only depleting the earth’s ability to inhabit life. And the threat will only
increase in the coming years which will make it difficult for future generations
to inherit a sustainable planet. 
Global Warming is the single greatest environmental challenge that the planet
earth is facing at present. It is essential to understand the gravity of the situation.
We are recording the hottest days and decades ever. What’s alarming is that the
temperature of the earth has climbed to the highest point it has ever been in the
past 12,000 years. It only gets worse in the coming years which will make it
difficult for future generations to inherit a sustainable planet. 
Sea level rise caused by global warming is an existential threat to Maldives, one
of the lowest lying nation in the world . At the current rate of global warming,
almost 80% of the Maldives could become uninhabitable by 2050, according to
multiple reports from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey.
Since the main cause is due to burning fossil fuels to provide electricity, we can
do our bit by being responsible for the use of electricity in our day to day life,
like buying bulbs that will use energy to do the same work, and we can also pull
the plug when not in use. The other way is to power our houses with renewable
energy and reduce our electricity consumption and bills. While we cannot stop
global warming overnight, we can slow the rate and limit the amount of global
warming by reducing human emissions.
You can effectively start doing this today by spreading this message to near and
dear ones and help reduce Global Warming and thus conserve our natural
resources and planet. Speak up and make a difference.
Thank you
