An Inconvenient Truth

In the movie the former vice president Al Gore speaks and explains his concerns on a problem or issue of global warming that most of people still didn’t realize its consequences. Some still don’t realize global warming is already started. In fact Al Gore first became aware of evidence on global warming in the 1970s.

Each and every day passes in every second in our daily activity we release mount of CO2 which is actually good for our environment. However, the population and lifestyle is changing and the demand increasing. As a result CO2 built up and caused what we call it now global warming. An Inconvenient Truth shows records of temperature and CO2 for each year which the source of the heat comes from our development. All this scientific facts explains how it has already begun to affect our environment. Hurricanes, floods and heats not just accord from it but it strengthen it. The ice all over the world is melting raising the sea level. A heat is increasing the wind movement resulting in bigger storms.

We all and each individual have to help and protect the Earth for our future and future generations

An Introduction to Global Warming

Global Warming is commonly known as an increase in temperature on the surface of the earth. It’s directly related to green house gases (CO2). This issue is caused by nature as well as human demands of energy. However, human population is increasing which leads us to burn more fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil. It radically increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Global warming may have several effects. It will alter the climate. This heat will melt the ice around the world and raise sea levels. This can flood many places in the world. As well, sea temperature increases can create more or stronger hurricanes destroying the place where people live.

This is a world-wide problem. One human being can’t solve it but I think we can if we all work together as one. We can reduce it by using solar, wind, water and heat clean energy that’s renewable.

My Profile

I will start by introducing myself first. My name is Ahmed Mubarak Al Zaabi. I was born on the fourth of January in 1983. I was born in the United Arab Emirates the capital city Abu Dhabi, which is one of the fastest developed cities in the world.

In my case after Secondary school I joined ATI (ADNOC Training Institute). I studied in ATI for three years. My major was Instrument Technician. When I graduated and joined ZADCO, the Company hired me one of the offshore fields. I was excited about my first working day. When I arrived on the platform I was shocked. I was just looking at field map. It was a huge field which was 30 KM long and 25 KM wide!!. We even use boats or helicopter for my transportation every day.

It has been five years since I start working for ZADCO Company as an offshore instrument technician. I wanted to develop myself so I requested study leave from the company to join ADMC College to continue my studies but in a different major. Cause Company requires me to be a Planning Engineer. One day I want to have a Bachelor in Engineering or beyond that.

This blog project is one of the tasks I have been asked to do for English 174. Blog project is (50%) divided into 3 parts. (30%) will be marked on posts about global warming. (10%) will be marked on additional postings and (10%) will be on formatting. The other (50%) of the mark will be on the oral presentation (10%), (30%) on reading summaries, and the rest of (10%) will be from the vocabulary wordlist.

Solar Power In UAE

United Arab Emirate started new industries to produce large scale of solar power panels. These changes made biggest impact on the world of solar power. It affected three strong points environmental benefits, creating jobs and the effects in UAE.

Here it can reduce the uses of fossil fuel to produce electricity. It can produce thermal heat energy or it can capture rain water and it’s good for environment. It also can create many different jobs in the industry itself. Solar power helps to develop UAE by using it in bus shelters powering Dubai Island. This all solar power are produced in RAK which will it help its economy.

These are my three points of view that will make UAE have bright future.
