    The document is a news report discussing climate change, its effects, and ways to reduce its impacts. It notes that climate change is caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This leads to rising global temperatures and changes in weather patterns. The effects of climate change include threats to human health like respiratory illness, as well as impacts on plants, animals, and ecosystems through more extreme weather, wildfires, and species loss. The report recommends individual actions like using renewable energy and mass transit, as well as societal efforts like education, coastal management, and adaptation strategies to prepare for climate change effects.

    REPORTING SCRIPT

    Milgem: It's March 31st, 2023. Goodmorning, Friday; this is Milgem Payao reporting live
    at MAA News. As we celebrate Science Month and Earth Month this coming April, we will
    talk about climate change, its effects, and how we will reduce its effects.

    Athena: "Climate change" refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather


    patterns. It has become a global concern over the last few decades. Based on this graph,
    the levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere have been increasing for hundreds of
    thousands of years. Why? Well, scientists say that there's a 95% chance that human
    activity is the cause.

    Audrey: We've been burning more and more fossil fuels, like oil and coal, which release
    CO2, to power our homes, factories, airplanes, and cars. The global population has
    tripled in the past 70 years. And we’re consuming more products from animals that
    release another pollutant called methane. So all those gasses are in the air, and when
    sunlight gets into the earth’s atmosphere, some of the heat gets trapped and the planet
    gets warmer. That’s why they call it the "Greenhouse Effect."

    Lorraine: Besides, these climate changes affect life on Earth in various ways. What are
    the possible effects of climate change when it comes to a person's health?

    Bacurin: Due to rising temperatures, more extreme weather, increased CO2 levels, and
    rising sea levels because of climate change, it affects our health, and the possible effects
    are respiratory and heart diseases, pest-related diseases like Lyme disease and West
    Nile Virus, zoonoses, water- and food-related illnesses, heat-related illnesses, injuries,
    and deaths.

    Lorraine: What are the possible effects of climate change on plants, glaciers, and
    precipitation?

    Leigh: Climate change alters the life cycle of plants, and because of rising temperatures,
    it leads to more frequent droughts, wildfires, and invasive pest outbreaks, leading to the
    loss of plant species. The melting of glaciers may contribute to the rising of sea levels,
    which in turn increases coastal erosion and elevates storm surge. Climate change also
    alters precipitation, impacting people and ecosystems by altering the availability of water
    throughout the year.

    Lorraine: What are the possible effects when it comes to animals?

    Rhiane: Many species’ behaviors—mating, feeding, and migration—are closely tied to


    subtle seasonal shifts, as in temperature, precipitation level, and foliage. In some cases,
    changes to the environment are happening faster than species are able to adapt. Rising
    temperatures lower many species' survival rates due to changes that lead to less food,
    less successful reproduction, and interference with the environment for native wildlife.
    Atiliano: We can say that climate change is the change in the usual temperature or the
    rise in average surface temperature on earth, so what can we do to help lessen these
    effects?

    Bacurin: Reducing carbon emissions by walking short distances, using sustainable


    transportation such as bicycles or public transportation, and engaging in energy
    conservation by unplugging appliances when not in use

    Leigh: Practice reducing, reusing, and recycling. And adopting a plant-based diet by
    increasing your vegetable consumption and reducing your meat consumption can
    reduce carbon emissions.

    Rhiane: Using renewable energy by installing solar panels may help our environment,
    and instead of avoiding illegal logging, we should plant more trees. Remember, a single
    tree can absorb up to a ton of carbon dioxide.

    Milgem - Lastly Educate people. All efforts made to lessen the effects of climate change
    will be useless if people do not have knowledge about how to take care of our
    environment. As students, the best way is to educate them about the dangers of climate
    change and how to act against it.

    Athena: Adapting to climate change means taking action to prepare for and adjust to
    both the current effects of climate change and the changes that have already begun.
    Adaptation means reducing our vulnerability to rising sea levels, extreme weather, and
    food shortages. We need to learn how to live with and adapt to these changes; what are
    the most suitable adaptation options we have? The options that we have are: flood
    preparedness measures, improvement of drainage systems, wetland restoration, and
    coastal management.

    Audrey: Remember that adaptation is a learning process that we all need to continuously
    improve. We must start acting today, together, involve decision-makers, increase
    understanding of climate change, create awareness about the need for society to adapt.
    These are important 4 steps preparing for possible things to come is much better than
    barring the impact of climate change without any protection. Thank you so much for
    watching. This is Audrey Salazar reporting from the MAA news update.
