    The document discusses the causes and effects of global warming as well as potential solutions. Some of the main causes mentioned are burning fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions from things like cars, factories, and agriculture. One of the key effects is rising sea levels, which could put many coastal cities underwater by 2100. Suggested solutions include using public transportation more, limiting household waste like plastic bags, and banning plastic bags from supermarkets.

    AUDIO SCRIPT

    [M1: Male Student; F1: Female Student]

    M1: Hi, Sophie. Are you ready to practice our presentation?

    F1: Sure, Jack. I’ve organized my notes. I thought we could start by talking about 1. the
    causes and then 2. offer some solutions.

    M1: I think we should discuss the effects before we propose a solution.

    F1: You’re right. Okay, so the causes: There are several greenhouse gases responsible
    for global warming. Most gases come from burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil.
    Emissions from cars, factories, and the production of electricity all contribute to global
    warming. The gas that causes the most warming is carbon dioxide, or CO2. Another gas
    is the methane released from landfills and agriculture—especially from the digestive
    systems of grazing animals such as cows. There’s also nitrous oxide from fertilizers and
    gases used for refrigeration. Besides greenhouses gases, there’s the loss of trees from
    the destruction of rainforests such as the Amazon. Trees store CO2 and release oxygen,
    so fewer trees means more CO2 in the atmosphere. The warmer atmosphere melts the
    polar sea ice and causes the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen by six to nine
    inches over the past 100 years. Some scientists predict that the sea level could rise 6
    more feet by the year 2100. That’s enough to put a lot of coastal cities under water.

    M1: So one of the main effects of global warming is the rise in the sea level.

    F1: Right. Now, the solutions. I think a lot of people feel helpless. They don’t think they
    can do anything on a personal level. They want to leave it up to the government and
    scientists to solve the problem.

    M1: Yeah, the government could introduce laws controlling the use of vehicles.
    Vehicles such as cars and trucks produce more than 1.5 billion metric tons of CO2 a
    year. There should be a limit on the number of vehicles and how often people are
    allowed to drive them. We should have a law that says people can only drive 5 hours a
    week.

    F1: Hm, I think most people wouldn’t accept that law. What about employees who need
    to drive an hour to get to work? That’s already 10 hours a week.

    M1: Yeah, that’s true. Well, maybe people could carpool or use public transportation
    more often.

    F1: Good. I agree with that. What else?

    M1: We have no choice but to limit household waste. For example, I think plastic bags
    should be banned.

    F1: But a lot of people depend on plastic bags every day.

    M1: Well, plastic bags have only been around since the 1970s. We somehow managed
    life before them. I think some people don’t realize that it takes a lot of energy to make
    plastic. At least plastic bottles are recycled, but many cities don’t recycle plastic bags.
    So trillions of plastic bags end up in landfills. Even incinerating, or burning, plastic bags
    uses fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases. And a lot of plastic bags end up in the
    ocean where they kill millions of marine animals such whales, dolphins, and birds.

    F1: Yeah, people must either reuse plastic bags or stop using them altogether.

    M1: Right. Everyone should use fabric bags to carry their groceries. And supermarkets
    must not be allowed to offer plastic bags. Some states are already banning them, and
    the European Union, China, India, and Australia all have bans. Okay, so let’s move on…
