Radio Script Climate Change

The radio script discusses the climate crisis and issues facing the planet. It notes that the world's population and carbon emissions have increased, causing rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels. Small actions like recycling and using renewable energy can help address the problem. If no actions are taken, the planet could warm 4 degrees by 2100, causing mass extinctions of plants and animals unable to adapt. The host urges listeners to do their part to protect the planet and prevent future disasters.

Introduction

Me (EMILY BUTLER)

Hello and welcome, my name is Emily Butler and in today’s


episode I am going to be speaking about the Climate Crisis and
the issues our planet is facing every day.

PLAY A SOUND FOR TRANSITION

Over time the world’s population has increased massively,


1000’s of trees have been chopped down and the sea has been
absorbing more and more of the worlds greenhouses gases given
off by things we humans use in our daily lives , like heating
and electricity, ice caps are melting and sea levels are
rising. The world is 1 degree hotter and this is partly down
to us. If we can keep temperatures no higher than 1.5 degrees
it will have a big impact on our plant and even ourselves.

So what can we do to help? There are small things that we can


do in our everyday lives to play our part and help out our
planet. For example, recycling, it doesn’t take much to check
your packaging and recycle where possible and re use bags when
you go to the supermarket rather than buying plastic bags.
Looking at the bigger picture renewable sources are
desperately needed and more and more trees need to be planted
to soak up carbon dioxide meaning deforestation must be banned
so this can take place and also it will prevent animals homes
being destroyed so that they have somewhere to live.

Research shows that by 2100 our planet is going to get an


astounding 4 degrees hotter, this is because of the fossil
fuels and co2 we humans burn and release on the planet and by
this time there will be no going back and no way to change and
improve things. Also, plant and animal extinctions are
expected as habitats are changing faster than species are even
able to adapt. This is why we need to act now and work to make
improvements to our precious planet to prevent a 6th mass
extinction as scientists say that things are happening

extremely quickly and urgent action is needed to avoid


disaster in the future.

We have become so used to buying things like household items


such as dishwashers and washing machines that are produced
using of fossil fuels. We need to buy alternatives that don’t
produce greenhouse gases. Solar power could be the new way to
things, it is cheap and used in so many countries over the
world. Even vehicles, have an big effect on the world,
electric cars need to become the new way of travel if not
walking or public transport like buses that run on bio - gas ,
they produce much less CO2 and are a much greener way for us
to travel. We need to be less wasteful and buy things that
will last longer, even if it’s more expensive its so much more
efficient, reduce how much food we waste as planet and cut
down on meat like beef as cows produce methane. These things
will help make a difference.

At the beginning of 2020 Australia was hit with devastating


bush fires, nothing like they had ever experienced before.
This is because of the increase in global temperatures and if
this carries on and temperatures keep on rising over the years
disasters like these bush fires will be 4 times more likely to
happen , destroying homes and even some lives of both people
and many animals in fact it was reported that at least a
billion animals died in the fires. These dreadful fires last
weeks, the environment was destroyed with trees and plants
being lost making it much more likely for flooding and
landslides to occur. The earth will then wash away, causing
soil erosion. This is why something needs to be done and many
residents and climate activists are questioning the government
over the use of greener forms of energy like wind and solar
power to help reduce the carbon emissions. Climate change is
happening in our world and is increasing chances of things
happening like these fires by 30%.

Back in 2011 another disaster occurred , the East Africa


Drought took place. It was reported to be the worst drought in
60 years. 10 million individuals were put in danger left with
a food and water shortage. It was a major crisis and sadly
this is all due to climate change , lives of both people and
animals were lost and this is because of how we are acting and
our ways of life on this planet.

Our planet can’t go on like this, we need to do everything we


can to prevent awful events like the 2 I just spoke about
happening as it’s a worry for everyone’s future and the planet
itself. Everyone has the ability and power to help in some way
and its important to do your bit to protect our planet and
prevent the predictions of the future taking place.
