DAMAGING EFFECTS OF DROUGHTS AND HOW THEY CAN BE CURBED USING TREE PLANTING.

My speech is on the damaging effects of droughts on the lives of people across the globe and how it can be controlled using tree planting. Droughts have dwindled the economies of many nations. Many people have been rendered jobless due to droughts. Farmers and fishermen have been the most victims.
In some countries, the peaceful co-existence of their citizens has been threatened by droughts. An example has been cited in Kenya where droughts even resulted in civil war. So the world can never sit aloof and watch our world destroyed by this disaster called drought. The world must rise up to do something to curb this unfortunate event of an extreme weather. I hereby sell to the nations, the sure way of battling this disaster. And this way is tree planting.
I have come to appreciate what trees can do to kick droughts away from our lives. The existence of trees ensures that our vegetation cover is secured and that people receive uninterrupted rainfall. I therefore suggest to the nations to make tree planting their habit. Every person must make it a point to plant at least one tree in his/her lifetime.
This attitude of tree planting must be inculcated into students of all levels across the globe. Tree planting must be a lifestyle of all and sundry. I still maintain that, the survival of mankind is largely dependent on the existence of trees. The very day the last tree dies, the last man also dies. Even God in his own wisdom, first created trees before creating man. He knew, man could not have survived without trees. So please, do not joke with tree planting. Through our collaborative efforts of planting enough trees, droughts will surely be a thing of the past.
Thank you.

Droughts mainly affects the northern part of our country Kenya and it is mainly caused by cutting down of trees. The trees we cut is the trees that attracts rains and without rain there will be no water and there will be droughts. So we should plant trees so as to prevent droughts in our world and our countries. Thank you.
Welcome, dear.
You are welcome.

Please explain how planting trees can curb droughts I do not really understand
Trees provide shade for the the river bodies which evaporate to the sky to form clouds which result in rainfall. So if there are no trees around, the rivers will dry up, making it very difficult to rain, thereby creating drought.
So that means that trees are of great importance to the atmosphere

These droughts cause the land to dry up and plants to lose their moisture and maybe even cause farmine.
Planting can prevent drought.
Exactly. Thank you very much.

Forest areas will hardly and might not even experience droughts in their lives. It is very important to get basic concepts to protect our environment in order to avoid drought especially in Africa.
Yes Sir, that's why the place like Axim in Ghana where there is a thick forest experience rainfall throughout the year. So you see, it's very difficult for places where there are plenty trees to suffer from drought. Thank you, Sir.

Droughts may not affect us so much if industries and factories produce less smoke.
I agree with you.
Can you explain why you agree?

Last year, some places in Kenya🇰🇪 ,were suffering drought. If you'd see the countries you'd feel you want to cry. The counties are in North Eastern the counties are Turkana, Mandera and Wajir.

I understand your point,but when overused vehicles,which release carbon monoxide into the atmosphere are not stopped,won't the carbon emission which destroy the ozone layer still increase?
Excessive emissions from the factory and industry will have great impact on the ozone layer.

I know that but,there are millions millions of of cars roaming about,and half of these cars are overused and in its old age.When these millions or trillions of cars continue to move on earth without maintenance,won't the carbon emissions still increase and destroy our earth?
Of course yes. I agree with you 100%. The smoke from old and overused cars posed great dangers to the environment and the atmosphere. It really affects the ozone layer.
