Ms Hoa: Sounds good.
Minh: First, we'll talk about causes such as greenhouse gas emissions from factories and vehicles.
Mai: There are also other causes, like the use of chemical fertilisers and deforestation. Global warming is man-made!
Minh: Man-made?
Ms Hoa: That's right. in the past, a lot of industries denied having contributed to global warming, but nowadays most
people admit we are all responsible.
