HOST : Hallo, eco-friendly viewers,and welcome to Planet Earth: Our Loving Home.
In
the past 50 years, in Formosa (Taiwan), the occurrences of torrential
rain have increased by 70 to 80 percent. The danger of drought has also
increased.
The whole world is facing the same problem, so this
is not just happening in Formosa (Taiwan). The whole world is being
threatened by floods and droughts. So, this kind of threat has already
arrived and is already affecting us.
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.
HOST

will discuss the effects of climate change and provide their
suggestions for addressing the problem.
