What I'v Learned

Doing thing this project has taught me alot. Iv learned how seriouse global warming is and all the effects it could bring if something isnt done about it. Iv also learned that not only governments can reverse this huge and fast growing problem, but we can aswell. We could do many things to help our planet after all we'v done to it. Its also taught me that the most effective weapon we have against global warming is education. to educate people about it so that we and our sons can start the planets healing process. Hopefully my blog will shed some light on the situation to whoever reads it.

How to Solve this Problem


Its simple really, by reducing pollution from vehicles and power plants. Right away, we should put existing technologies for building cleaner cars and more modern electricity generators into widespread use. We can increase our reliance on renewable energy sources such as wind, sun and geothermal. And we can manufacture more efficient appliances and conserve energy. These are some ways in which we can reduce global warming. Not a solution, but as we know...prevention is better than cure. so we all must work together in order to solve this problem.

What we can do to save our Planet


Even though we are not scientist's or diplomats, we can all do simple little things to save our planet and reduce the effects of global warming. One of the most important step is to Reduce, Reuse and Recyle. the 3 R's. Then we could also consider buying a fuel smart car like a hybrid. Some people are going all green and using solar energy that they harnet from the sun to power this houser and nearly everything they use in it! Also we could do simple things like switch off the lights in the house, give our car a day off and plant trees. All these are things we can do to make life better for us and every living thing on earth.

Effects of Global Warming in the UAE


There are many severe effects of global warming in the UAE. Our beaches have already been affected by global warming. The reefs in some cities are dieing out because of global warming, and this is really bad news for a fledgling country like the UAE, who’s only seen about thirty years. God only know what might happen in the near future. For the UAE seems to be progressing with an extreme pace into the future, with nearly no concerns about global warming.

So global warming is affecting our economy, energy and environment. It could also create political instability as well. And that’s not good news for our leaders. I hope something is done about the problem here in the UAE as soon as possible. For were gambling with our life, and we have everything to lose.

General Effects of Global Warming


Greenhouse gases effect our atmosphere by trapping heat in the earth, therefore raising the earths temperature. Also, these gases harm the ozone layer already by making a hole in it. This allows harmful rays penetrate right through to the earths surface and effecting life on earth. Deforestation can also be a cause, this creates more heat. Global warming destroys species, coral reefs, effects the way the earth runs in a whole. Its is going to be a big battle to help reduce global warming and hopefully try and reverse it. But as we all know, the effects are obvious. And we need to do something about it ASAP!

General Causes of Global Warming


One of the biggest players of global warming is Carbon dioxide, I was recorded that the USA caused 40% of the world carbon dioxide emissions by burning fossil fuel to produce energy. The burning of coal also produces carbon dioxide. And this accounts for 93% of USA’s carbon dioxide emissions.
Methane also produces a threat to our environment. Methane is 20 times more effective at trapping heat in our atmosphere than carbon dioxide. There are many more causes of global warming like nitrous oxide, deforestation and city gridlock’s. these all pollute the world atmosphere cause real big global warming issues.

Global Warming


It has become a much discussed topic around the globe and although attempts are being made to try to reduce and ultimately stop the serious effects of “Global Warming” it is to our shame that it still simply isn’t enough.

Carbon emission continues to be the No.1 culprit of this epidemic, with the burning of fossil fuels like Coal accounting for 40% of emissions. Close behind comes “Deforestation” claiming 25% of emission.

Cars counts for another 20% of omissions, not forgetting the airplane, trucks and the Methane that is produced from bacteria found in bogs and rice paddies.
