Interviewer: Professor Adnan, some people are not well aware of how terribly global warming is affecting our planet. Can you please explain?
Adnan Saleem: Global warming is one of the biggest problems in the world today. Its effect on animals, agriculture, as well as humans is frightening. Temperature is increasing worldwide, ice is melting, some animal species are breeding less, and sea level rise has become faster over the last century.
Interviewer: That doesn’t sound pleasant. Do you think these problems will become worse in the future?
Adnan Saleem: Indeed. If governments and people don’t take immediate action to reduce global warming, the effects will only get worse. Future effects include more killer storms, floods and droughts, massive crop failures, widespread extinction of species and less fresh water.
Interviewer: What immediate action do you mean should be taken?
Adnan Saleem: Every individual should begin with themselves and encourage their acquaintances if possible. Cut down your use of electricity, do not burn trash, ride your bike from time to time or walk, plant trees and recycle. These are all ideas that are good for your health as well.
Interviewer: I will be the first to take that advice! Thank you Professor Adnan.
