A conversation about Global Warming

American Cool Cities

Charlotte North Carolina:

The government has changed the fuel of cars to a hybrid gas.

Washington DC:

Has changed their buses to natural gas which is less than the diesel fuel to improve air pollution and cut global warming pollution.

St Paul Minnesota:

Providing electricity by using a renewable resource as its primary fuel.

Houston – Texas:

The government has started to reduce emissions by using hybrid vehicles. By the year 2010 they will have no petrol cars. A hybrid vehicles are produce about 43 tones of carbon less than the average of other cars.

Seattle:

They have replaced old vehicles with a “ clean and Green fleet and have sett strict rules about CO2 emission. They have already reduced green house gases by 60 percent.

Fort Collins:

Fort Collins uses renewable energy wind to reduce global warming and has reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 472,000 tons.

Waverly Lowa:

Waverly Lowa municipality has used wind energy to reduce the emission of CO2 in the city. This method that helps provides local economic development.

Marion County Florida:

The government bought the Toyota Privs vehicles because it’s hybrid and useless oil.

My Carbon Footprint

A carbon footprint is the measure of CO2 and other greenhouse gases that produced by activities of people that effect our environment. Carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon dioxide caused by the actions of an individual over a period of one year. I measured my carbon footprint and my score was 9.05. It means I’m living as if there were 9.05 earths. I’m going to write about my carbon footprint problems and their solutions.

I have many carbon footprint problems. First of all, my transports depend on my car and at the same time we have more than one car at home. So I’ll effect our environment by increasing the CO2. Secondly, I travel a lot during my vacation and I travel to more than two countries. Then I’ll damage the atmosphere by producing a lot of CO2 and the climate will get hotter. Finally, I use my laptop more than 6 hours daily and also most the time I don’t switch it off when I leave or I don’t use it.

There are a lot of solutions for my carbon footprint problems. First, I have to buy a bicycle and motorbike to reduce using my cars and I’ll reduce CO2 and decrease global warming. Next, I should start stop traveling and if I want to travel I’ll travel to not far countries and by doing this I’ll not damage our beautiful environment. After that I must switch off my laptop when I’m not use it and not use it too much.

In conclusion I hope that people care about their carbon footprint (their activities) and be aware that it will affect us and our children in the future. So don’t be selfish and share information with others and try to help and do some things for global warming.

What should be done in Abu Dhabi to make people more aware of the situation (global warming)?

In Abu Dhabi there are many things they should do to stop global warming and make people know about how dangerous it is. First of all the government should make some transport that doesn’t effect the environment such as make metros or use boats to transports especially in Abu Dhabi it will be successfully because Abu Dhabi is island and the sea in all direction or also use bicycle. Put a notice for all people to know about the global warming and what will be the result if we don’t stop global warming. People here in Abu Dhabi during the summer they are traveling a lot and they should reduce traveling because the planes are effects the atmosphere and increase global warming. Children must learn by teach them in the schools or at homes about global warming to share others to stop global warming. At nights people should close the lights while they are sleeping and try to not have so many lights on in the house so you can save your light bill and the energy. It is advisable from everyone make a garden near or front his house to decrease CO2. Make some things to get your energy from the sun. The government must put strict rules for people they don’t care or people who increase the global warming. Try to not make a lot of garbage because they will burn it and it will cause a lot of pollution. Use the electricity as low as possible so you will reduce the energy. Live in small house that’s enough for your family.

Why is it called “An Inconvenient Truth”

The truth will damage the environment. If we are not going to do some thing about global warming and the truth is inconvenient because people like their lifestyle and they don’t want to change it. They don’t like to do the difficult things they just want to relax and be comfortable.

My Reaction

I’m feeling really very bad because there are a lot of things happening and I don’t know about it. I saw this movie and I am now aware about one of the most dangerous things that are coming soon and will destroy the environment. I want to tell everyone about global warming and tell them to see the movie. I’ll try as much as I can to help the environment because we can’t live without our environment. From now on I’ll change a lot of things to stop global warming and I’ll tell my family and my friends to do anything that they can to stop global warming. Thins movie makes me feel about me, my family, friends, my beautiful wife and my children in the soon future. I’ll buy bicycle and try to use when I’ll go to the college or work. Every day I’ll buy flowers and trees and put it at home.

Summary of film “An Inconvenient truth

An inconvenient truth is film about global warming. This video shows us what happened, what is happening now and what will happen soon. The environment is very cool and very nice. If we just think about it is a really peaceful area. Nobody wants to destroy this comfort and benefit of place for our health and life. The video shows us the change in the climate now more than before especially the last years. People don’t know about how dangerous it is. It will produce Global climate change if the amount of human generated greenhouse gases is not reduced in the near future. Some say that global warming is unproven or that warming will be unimportant. If the major ice sheet in Greenland or in West Antarctica collapses, which could raise global sea levels by about 20 feet (6m), flooding coastal areas and producing 100 million people that they wouldn’t have a home, food, jobs and they will really need help. Maybe because melt water from Greenland is less salty, it stops the currents that keep northern Europe warm and quickly cause dramatic local cooling there. We can reduce the increase of CO2 by planting more plants to use up existing CO2. We must co-operate together and we calls people to learn how can we stop global warming.

Introduction To Cool Cities

Introduction To Cool Cities

No one can deny that global warming in our world it will increase more and more and it will be very dangerous and make pollution and increase the temperatures if we don’t do anything reduce global warming. This happens by anything that produces CO2 in the atmosphere and the problem is that people are responsible for all this because the activities that they use are the main cause for the increase in the temperatures. The main and the percentage of activities are building 55%, transportation 35% and 10% others. Changing in the climate now is faster than before because we just care to develop our world without thinking about the problems that we will cause. Everybody must know about the dangers of global warming and do anything to prevent global warming as much as you can. We should start now by making a cool city one city at a time. Cool cities are very good place to stop global warming by make a city that is almost empty from activities that produce CO2. In the cool cities they use transportation that work by a gases to protect the atmosphere from oil that burning
by any kind of transportation. At the same time we can also save our money by using gas because it is less expensive and have more benefit. Also they use less energy by better technology for streets lights and power building. Because it is one of the most cost effective and fastest ways to get our energy that we need. In addition they use activities that are able to renewable power like sunshade and wind energy to reduce global warming emission and make a reliable source of safe, homegrown electricity. In this project “Cool Cities” I will research and write about global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, carbon emission and carbon footprint and about development a cool city in Abu Dhabi
