Wake Up

As most of you know, this situation has been brought to attention many times, however most people still don’t do anything about it. Ironically, they still complain about it. Many people are still oblivious to the truth. Things around us are signaling that the way the environment is disheveled is incompatible with how we react to the signs. Hopefully environmentalists and world leaders would compromise to delay global warming in some way being that it can’t be stopped. We should all be moral and vindicate going ‘green’. Many people view it differently though. The stubborn mind would just deplore with that idea and take things for granted and we all know that most people have skeptical beliefs since global warming is still a theory. Pretty soon all our world supplies would be depleted.
Everyday we keep hearing ‘’ let’s all go ‘green’.’’ Or we’ll see advertisements on streets, subways, buses or media about being eco-friendly. It’s all for a cause, but honestly it does get annoying how people feel as if they’re impervious to the truth. Truth is that we don’t really have enough time on our hands. We can’t stop global warming though, but the only other option is to delay it in some way as I’ve mentioned earlier. Every time you make a decision, it affects what’s going to happen. Documentaries such as ‘The 11th Hour’ or The Inconvenient Truth’ both provide messages for us and opens doors to our eyes. If we all were to just listen, then perhaps our narrow minds would be more dilated. In how it differs, is a question all on its own. The possibilities are endless though if we were open-minded about it.
Being that the United States are the number one country in consuming fossil fuel, we should do something about finding an alternative to consuming that kind of fuel. In my opinion, the attitude that most Americans feel is that our supplies of imported goods are abundant. If everyone were to do something to mitigate the situation, we wouldn’t have this nemesis. Perhaps, with future technology and research, we can consider turning the clock back a bit. What we did in the past, reflects what we did today and what we did today reflects our future.
Before the theory of Global Warming was only hypothetical, now it is very serious. The facts given from scientists to prove that the ozone layer is being by all the carbon dioxide we use, also known as the Greenhouse Effect has been nullified by the government to prevent people from panicking. Now, the fear of global warming has augmented since the year 2003. Increasing global temperature will cause the sea level to augment, and is expected to increase the intensity of extreme weather events and to change the amount and pattern of precipitation. Other effects of global warming include changes in agricultural fields, trade routes, glacier retreat, specie extinctions and increase in the ranges of disease vectors, and could be deleterious to living things.
Our time of jubilation is going to come to an end because of the harms global warming is doing to the Earth. Global Warming does perpetual harms everyday, for example, about one milliliter of sea level increases everyday, and it is impervious to prevent it, eventually the Earth will flood. And since we all use automobiles for transportation, it releases to much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, causing the ozone layer to disperse. We should find a way to suppress the way we use our cars, to decrease the harms done to the ozone layer, and try not to be so diffident about the situation and keep our planet embellished.

DELIVERY:
The speaker delivers the message in a confident, poised, enthusiastic fashion. The volume and rate varies to add emphasis and interest. Pronunciation and enunciation are very clear. The speaker exhibits very few disfluencies, such as 'ahs,' 'uhms,' or 'you knows.'

I really liked the message you sent out. I like how you mentioned documentaries such as "The 11th hour". I watched that documentary and it really motivated me to start caring. I agree with this 100%!!

Your presentation was phenomenal. Global Warming is indeed a serious issue that we need to pay more attention to, and you are only helping to persuade others to start caring more about the environment. I also liked your statement, "We can't stop global warming ... the only other option is to delay it in some way." This is completely true and I could not say any better my self. The only constructive criticism that I can find is that your grammar was a bit off here and there. For example, you say "The United States are the number one country in consuming fossil fuel." It should be fossil fuels. Another good idea would be to bold all the SAT Vocabulary words on the blog post. Regardless, exceptional presentation that, I feel, is up there with Al Gore's presentations.

Your speech was engaging. I liked how you gave facts about global warming. It was a gud idea to add the piece about the documentary. With that information people that really didnt understand your speech can go and watch it and get your view of the subject.

i forgot to mention before but your title totally fit your speech. The title itself made me want to give my full attention because I felt what you had to say was important for me to hear.
