Purpose of the blog


THE purpose is to warn people about the issues that global warming can cause now and in future. I am also doing this blog so that people can know about Global Warming and do what is necessary to prevent and stop it. In this blog I am going to write about the global warming, and it will contain a movie review of "An Inconvenient Truth", a small powerpoint presentation, things that each of us can do in the UAE, the definition, some of the causes and specific effects of global warming.We may now live our lives without any problem from Global Warming, but in the future our children will be the victims of what we are doing right now. In this blog I am sending a message for everyone breathing on this earth to do their best of doing what is necessary to prevent and stop the global warming.

What Is Global Warming ?




Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere and temperatures are rising.The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real, it’s already happening and that it is the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence.1 The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.We’re already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing

Global Warming Causes




There are many causes of global warming. Some of them are natural and some are caused by the human. First one is that Carbon Dioxide Emitted from Cars. Cars now are the most popular transport methods in the world. These are used gasoline and diesel. These fuels are producing carbon dioxide gas which is harmful to the environment. Another cause is that the natural disasters. One of natural disaster is the volcanoes. These volcanoes normally are inactive but when they become active, millions tones of harmful gases send to the atmosphere. Yet another cause is that the using of energy. A lot of people use energy but this energy is not use efficiently so the unused energy became a source of pollution.






Global Warming Effects


The effects of global warming on earth are actually too many. An increasing of global average of temperature is the main cause of the global warming as we know, so from this flow, a variety of resulting effects are happening. Namely, Rising Sea Levels, Altered Patterns of Agriculture, Increased Extreme Weather Events and the Expansion of the Range of Tropical Diseases. Moreover, the signs of global warming are very remarkable, which they are the reduced snow cover, rising sea levels & weather changes provides examples of consequences of global warming that may influence not only human activities but also ecosystems. Increasing global temperature means that ecosystems may change; some species may be forced out of their habitats (possibly to extinction) because of changing conditions, while others may flourish. Few of the lands of ecoregions on earth could expect to be unaffected


UAE and the Global Warming solutions



There are many things can reduce CO2 in the UAE. Adnoc offer to us the new fuel which is a natural gas to fill our cars. Also, contacts have been made with vehicle manufacturers who are currently producing new bi-fuel vehicles that run on both Natural Gas and gasoline to encourage them to supply these models to the UAE market in the near future.



Solar Energy,
UAE are starting using solar energy in their traffic lights and power meters and more. to reduce the usage of fossile fuel and to make sure that they have a renewable energy once the fuel is not avilable. they are also concern about global warming and they are trying to stop what ever makes it growing.

Reveiw Of Inconveniant Truth

An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It....

Some Info About The Author & His Both Book & Film :

An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's groundbreaking battle cry of a follow-up to the bestselling Earth in the Balance, was published to tie in with a documentary film of the same name that was seen in theaters across the country.
Both the book and film were inspired by a series of multimedia presentations on global warming that Gore created and delivers to groups around the world. With this book, Gore, who is one of our environmental heroes—and a leading expert—brings together leading-edge research from top scientists around the world; photographs, charts, and other illustrations; and personal anecdotes and observations to document the fast pace and wide scope of global warming.
He presents, with alarming clarity and conclusiveness—and with humor, too—that the fact of global warming is not in question and that its consequences for the world we live in will be disastrous if left unchecked.

Pictures From His Film
One place that already feels the effects of the melting North Pole is Shishmaref, a small Alaskan village just south of the Arctic Circle. The Inupiak people have lived here for generations, but in the past 30 years, they've witnessed dramatic changes.

Conclousion




First of all i would like to thank my teachers because they made as realized for great problem which risk all the humanity in the world. I learned that all causes (global warming) by the human them self and day after day they prove that to the world and also i believed that this issue can be solve if we co-operate together. i learned how is the world changed by us. Now i really knew the value of life. i learned that my country is very worried about the global warming and UAE did many action to protect there people and land in same time. in this time i realized that we facing a big problem which challenges the world and it could destroy the humanity.
