countries and governments

Script:

Per decade since 1981, Earth's temperature has risen 0.18 degrees Celsius. This number may seem small to some people, but scientists know how disastrous this increase has been for our environment. This is called global warming and it is primarily caused by human activities, especially burning fossil fuels. Across the globe, we see the consequences such as natural disasters, ice melting and rising sea levels…

Although its importance can’t be understated, there seems to be a generational difference regarding this issue. According to a survey, more than 70 per cent of young people considered global warming the top priority while only about 50 per cent of people over 55 agreed with this statement. One of the main reasons is that some older people tend not to believe in the negative results of global warming and consider it a problem for the far future, so they don’t think it’s necessary to change their environmentally unfriendly habits.

However, the good news is that people’s opinion on this issue is changing. With more scientific evidence and growing public support, global warming has become a top issue for many countries and governments. We’re adopting more policies that help protect the environment and cut down on greenhouse gasses.
