Global Warming

Global Warming: local solutions

As we know the global warming is our present and future issue. We suppose to start changing some things, specially our way of living.In this post ill mention some problems caused by global warming and ill give some solutions to solve these problems.
One of the main reasons of this problem is the increasing in the population. Population is in increase every single year. The demand on food, water and vulnerable natural is rising. It puts more pressure on the earth, which it leads us to build more factories to supply and cover the increasing of demands. An additional problem is new technology. As mentioned in the film of “an Inconvenient Truth” old habits plus and new technology equals dramatically altered consequences such as the atomic bomb. Another issue is our way of thinking. We keep waiting until it’s too late and something goes wrong.
Although these problems are very serious, we can take some steps to solve the problem. One solution is, to change our luxurious living style. For example we can reuse the furniture for 10 years instead of keep changing the furniture every 3 years. It will reduce cutting the trees which helps to clean the environment. Another possibility is, we have to change our old habit especially in wars between us. We don’t need such as atomic bomb to solve our political issues! We can solve it in a friendly way, can’t we? Also we have to think in a different way, we have to start to think about the future and think about our next generations which it will suffer because of the shortage in food and water.
My opinion about what Al Gore said in his presentation that I couldn’t agree more, what he said is happening and it’s a fact. We feel the changes in the temperatures. We suppose to start thinking about the future.
In conclusion, it’s the pressure we are putting on the earth. The new technology we are creating might cause a global changing. Thinking about our future can help the earth from being the victim of our unstoppable needs.

Cool Cities

“Cool Cities”
Science has brought some shining ideas to put same solutions to reduces the carbon emission. Masder has cool ideas to beat the heat and build a green dream. The “Cool Cities” are the dream and the dream came true. In this blog I will describe how modern cities contribute to global warming problems and I’ll give some solutions for this problems and finally with my opinion.
The main issue that we are facing in this time is global warming and it leads to many serious problems on our planet such as, climate change, increases in sea level and many other problems. Abu Dhabi city emits more carbon dioxide everyday because of the high number of car users. The Carbon that gets out from the cars makes the earth hotter than now. Especially cities which have a lot of traffic, such as Abu Dhabi.
The shining ideas put forward solutions to reduce the carbon emissions, and this idea is cool cities. This idea is the solution for global warming. Cool cities are the cities with zero carbon emission. Al Masder will reduce the spread of carbon in the atmosphere by starting the idea in Abu Dhabi it will grow to be in the rest of the UAE.
In my point of view, Al Masder is a big jump in the UAE lifestyle. According to the National, the dream is not for all people, because most people do not have the same as others lifestyle. All in all, according to the people in the UAE, the cities will be small. Also people will not accept this idea directly.
