Tapescript Presenter: Good afternoon. Today we’re considering how worried we really need to be about climate change. In particular, how worried we should be about plant life and the future of animals on this earth.

Sarah’s report gives us some reasons to be optimistic
and some reasons to really worry. Sarah.
Sarah: Hello there. Yes, it’s true that climatic change
does affect animal and plant life but not always to
the point of disaster. Many animals and plants are
actually very adaptable – you know, able to change
according to conditions. Of course, historically ice
ages and droughts – a severe lack of water – have
completely destroyed certain types of animal and
plant life, but many managed to survive extreme,
long-term climate change by adapting.
Now, many biologists and ecologists believe the Earth
today may again be in the middle of climate change
because over the last century many studies have
shown rising global temperatures, on average about
half a degree centigrade, and although this may seem
very little, it is actually happening much faster than
before and it can affect life enormously.
