Title: Warming Our World and Chilling Our Future
Specific Purpose: To inform my audience of the causes of the
greenhouse effect.
Thesis Statement: Today I want to share what I’ve learned about
the greenhouse effect and its major causes.
Introduction

5. Attention material: When Mark Twain was in London in 1897, a
rumor reached the editor of the New York Journal who
immediately wired his London correspondent, “HEARD MARK
TWAIN DIED, SEND 1000 WORDS.” The correspondent
showed the telegram to Twain, who wired back this message,
“REPORT OF MY DEATH GREATLY EXAGGERATED.” This
response applies to my speech topic today. Despite the efforts
of some to write its obituary, and to erase it from the public
agenda, the greenhouse effect is a growing, not declining
problem. The reports of its death have been greatly
exaggerated.
Thesis Statement: Today I want to share what I’ve learned about
the greenhouse effect and its major causes.
Preview: We need to be concerned, first, about the loss of
woodlands, second, about industrial emissions, and third, about
overall spectacular increases in world energy consumption.
(Transition: Let’s begin by understanding more about the
greenhouse effect)
Body
I. The green house effect is a gradual warming of the earth
caused by human activities (Monastersky).
A. It is characterized by a high concentration of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere (Anthes)
1. Each year five tons of carbon are pumped into the
atmosphere for each person in the United States.
2. In 1987 the level of carbon dioxide soared to a record high
level.
3. The nine warmest years in this century have all occurred
since 1980 (Atkinson)
B. Carbon pollutants are producing a hole in the ozone
layer.
1. The hole in the ozone layer reduces the earth’s ability to

6. protect us from ultraviolet radiation.
C. If this problem is not corrected, we may see disastrous
results.
1. There could be a dramatic climate change (Atkinson)
2. There could be serious health problems
(Lemonick, “Ozone”)
(Transition: Now that you understand what the greenhouse
effect is and why it is important, let’s examine the major
causes.)
II. One cause of the greenhouse effect is the loss of woodlands
that convert carbon dioxide into oxygen.
(Transition: Now let’s turn to the second major cause of the
greenhouse effect)
III. Industrial emissions also contribute to the growth of the
greenhouse effect (National Issues
Forums Institute 6)
(Transition: The last major cause of the greenhouse effect may
be the most important.)
IV. Increased energy consumption magnifies the greenhouse
effect (National Issues Forums
Institute 7)
Conclusion
Summary Statement: In short, if you want to know why we have
a greenhouse effect, listen for the falling trees, watch the
industrial smokestacks darkening the sky, and smell the exhaust

7. fumes we are pumping into the air. The greenhouse effect is a
monster we all are creating. And if we don’t stop, we and our
children may face drastic climate changes and serious health
problems.
Concluding Remarks: Vice-President Al Gore used the
following story to illustrate how the greenhouse effect can
sneak up on us. In an address to the National Academy of
Sciences, he said, “If dropped into a pot of boiling water, a frog
will quickly jump out. But if the same frog is put into a pot and
the water is slowly heated, the frog will stay put until boiled
alive. So it is with pollution. . . if we do not wake up to the
slow heating of our environment, we may jump too late” (Gore,
“Global”). The more we know about this problem, and the
better we understand it, the more likely we are to jump and the
less likely we are to be boiled alive.

Fast Food: Not Everything That Tastes Good is Healthy.
Most people these days are aware that fast food is not the
healthiest food to eat, but people are still not responding to all
the facts that say stop eating fast food. In fact, people generally
eat fast food due to main few reasons; as it is convenient,
inexpensive, and it usually tastes good. However, if most people
knew truly what they are putting into their bodies when they eat
fast food, surely the vast majority would rarely consume it
again. Therefore, people should realize the hazardous
consequences of eating fast food, and they should do whatever
it takes to reduce their consumption of fast food.
One of fast food's adverse consequences is that it causes a lot of
diseases to human beings. In addition, Erich Schlosser in his
book Fast Food Nation indicates that, "Every day in The United
States, roughly 200,000 people are sickened by a food borne
disease, 900 are hospitalized and fourteen die…" (195). In
contrast with Schlosser, a lot of people do not think about the
negative results of eating fast food. Moreover, the opponents
claim that they do not have sufficient time to cook, and the
majority of people eat fast food because it is quick and it does
not waste their time waiting (Hitti, 2008). In fact, fast food can
be quick and has a good taste, but Schlosser also indicates that,
“If you enjoy strawberry milkshakes, you’ll be horrified to
know that the version you buy contains nothing that’s been in
the vicinity of a strawberry, and in fact the ‘strawberry flavor’
which is just one of the ingredients on the shake’s list, contains
over twenty different chemicals in its own” (2002). This means

9. that most of what we eat is artificial and unnatural. Fast food
has negative aspects more than its positive ones. As a result,
people should think twice before getting this food inside their
bodies.
People cannot deny the fact that fast food has become a large
percentage of a lot of people’s diets. However, there are many
ways that a connection can be made between the obesity rate in
America and the fast food industry be made. Fast food is
generally more fattening than other foods and has become
integrated into American lifestyle. Americans can get fast food
cheap and it folds into the fast moving pace of Americans very
effectively (Schlosser, 2002). As a result, no wonder that people
should now distinguish the link and connection between obesity
and fast food. In addition, one of the simplest solutions to this
issue is just to stop this type of diet, and this solution does not
mean that people have to stop eating fast food at all costs. This
solution can have an impact on people, especially on those who
suffer from obesity, as it will show them the right way of
having a diet without feeling worse than before, so instead of
having a Big Mac on the regular home menu, there should be
fruit and vegetables to help with the diet. With some wise
choices and understanding, this can be a simple solution for fast
food and obesity in the whole world.
A lot of people might give convincing reasons to eat fast food.
It is considered cheap, which can help people save their money,
and that is probably the main reason why college students
always tend to buy from fast food restaurants, so it can help
them to save money for college tuition. Another reason is that
going to a fast food restaurant is convenient to a lot of people.
In fact, fast food restaurants can be found everywhere, which
makes it easier for the person to go the restaurant that is next to
his house. It can also be convenient to people who do not know
how to cook, or do not have the time to cook. In a fast food
restaurant your meal is always ready, and it tastes good without
doing any work.
It is shocking how people think sometimes. They apply some

10. unrealistic thoughts in their heads considering their health.
People will buy pills at whatever cost if they think that this pill
will make them lose the extra fifty pounds they gained while
carelessly eating fast food without thinking about the
consequences. They will always try to find an easy way out
when it comes to exercising and avoiding eating fast food. The
whole point of exercising is to physically move around and
never search for shortcuts in order to burn the highest number
of calories gained in someone’s daily life. People should
exercise every day and should never believe all the
advertisements and commercials that makes people believe that
ten minutes of a certain workout will help them get the body
they dreamed about, or even a specific pill will help people lose
all the extra weight they gained and get the perfect body.
Some people claim that it is impossible to avoid eating fast food
because it is convenient, cheap, and tastes good. However, in
my opinion, nothing is impossible, and all what people need is a
strong will and some determination. In fact, for those people
who think that they cannot stay away from fast food, there are
several helpful advices that can help people and guide them to
what to order in a fast food restaurant. A lot of people think that
drinking water while eating is considered to be a good way to
eat healthy in a fast food restaurant, as drinking Soda drinks is
the exact opposite as it increases the number of calories in a
person’s meal. Another advice is to always watch the portion
size of the meal being ordered and to order a salad with the
meal instead of the French fries as they contain a high
percentage of calories.
Some of the fast food restaurants acquire their meat from
slaughters that treat animal cruelly. Not only are these animals
often killed while they are in poor health, but also some of the
animals that are slaughtered carry diseases, like mad cow
disease that infects the beef fast food restaurants buy.
Moreover, animals do not only cause diseases because of how
slaughterhouses treat them, but what they feed the animals is
completely awful, and it is a violation to the law against nature

11. (Schlosser, 2002). The bad treatment of animals can create
diseases to the animals and, therefore, cause diseases to those
who consume the meat. In fact, a disease can easily be spread
through food because one infected cow can end up in hundred
different burgers, so that one cow causes hundred peoples’
sickness (Schlosser, 2002). However, people argue that some of
the restaurants do not deal with these slaughterhouses, and they
only buy beef from places that do not treat animals cruelly. On
the other hand, it is hard to trust what restaurants say because
some of the restaurant would lie about where they got their
beef.
Although all these facts show that eating fast food is harmful,
people still intend to eat it due to its taste without thinking
about the consequences. Moreover, people in the future will
hopefully see clearly how it is vital to stop eating fast food
although trying to stop eating fast food can require some
courage, but it is the only way to stop spreading diseases and
eliminating them. Fast food can be a main reason for causing
obesity, which is considered to be a problem for a lot of
societies because it leads to many serious health problems such
as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and strokes. As
a result, I strongly believe that people should reduce their
consumption of fast food, and they should think twice about
how fast food can be harmful to both humanity and the
environment.
