In the 1830s Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos islands in the Pacific Ocean. He studied the unique animals living on the islands. Darwin's trip led him to the theory of evolution.
In today's episode, Sam and Rob discuss the impact of climate change on today's wildlife. Can animals evolve quickly enough to survive a changing climate? Join us to explore this topic and learn the useful vocabulary you need to talk about it!
This week's question:
What was the name of the ship Charles Darwin sailed to the Galapagos in?
a) HMS Beagle
b) HMS Victory
c) SS Great Britain
Listen to the programme to find out the answer.

I can't load the audio and transcript from the BBC link, I'm in Vietnam and it might be the reason from the internet connection. Is there any way I can access and load the audio and transcript from BBC?

Remember, It's just a foolish theory. Have you realized that the propaganda changed from "Global warming" to "Climate change" ? Why has it happened? Are you agree with CO2 reduction? But what about plants' respiration? Plants do breath CO2, so what is the limit?
I don't thrust "climate scientists". They're just a political puppets.

A falcon hunted a prey by its feet and clinged it, while other bird hunted a fish by its beak.
Animals need to adapt in response to their enviroment and pass those adaptations to their children. If you have noticed specific features or charasterctics then those are the traits they inherited.
Weather in Iraq due to climate change is horrible, specially the sky looks drab.
