HOST : Hallo, eco-friendly viewers,and welcome to Planet Earth: Our Loving Home.

It will become more and more severe. All over the world, heat waves will become more frequent, and the sea level will rise. In some island countries people have already lost their homes.
Also, the sea level we already know it’s rising faster and faster, much faster than our (previous) estimates.
