Cool Cities


The world faces a wonderful economic development, but it still finding difficulty in some issues that constitute an obstacle to this development. Especially it face the problem of climate that In particular, the world faces the problem of climate .It is an important issue that must be avoided to live in peace. There are multiple issues including climate such as : growth of population, traffic problems, high use of energy and high carbon dioxide. This is the key factors to the problem of weather. We have to find a solution for the increasing of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It is the reason of the high temperature of the land. Some States have a very basic strategy to deal with the summer temperature that can reach 50 ° C. They invent many of the techniques that suit the climate such as : Control systems to warm the rooms through the ceiling and distribution of sea water under the reefs. John Thomas, issued a few details about the technical project which is near Zayed City. It is an exciting technology that they will use it. Abu Dhabi has created new plans to solve the problem of hot weather, including plans developed for the distribution of sea water under the land to cool the sidewalks and seats. It is believed that he could reduce the temperature by at least 6 ° C. Moreover, Comparing between Routes with broad and high buildings, Abu Dhabi narrow the distance between their buildings that leads to cover these spaces which will reduce the generation of heat.

Cool Cities (Al Bateen Wharf)



Tourism development and Investment Company, have many ideas to develop Abu Dhabi, such as Grand Corniche Hotel, The Legoon Hotel & Offices, Al Bateen Wharf and more and more. In this essay I will talk about Al Bateen Wharf. It's will be signature waterfront destination with a san-Francisco- style Fishermen's. Also there will be marina and 5 stars hotel complex for tourism. The tourism development and Investment Company will put some good facilities in Al Bateen Wharf. For example, 400 hotel rooms serviced residential wing with 200 apartments and deluxe poolside and executive town homes. Also the more interesting facilities that's Berths for 285 fishing boats and 38 racing dhows. And about the features the company apply there health club and shipyard showcasing the ancient skills of Arabian dhow building. Also there are Hydraulic lift and Maintenance shed. In my opinion I think this project will impact a lot of positive and negative things, the positive side, and the company that will build in AD. The positive thing of AD is that it has a great status between other countries and nation. That will lead to an increase of the tourist's rate. However the negative side there will be increasing in many things such as traffic crowded. Also, there is one negative point left, when the company will start their project they should Destroy some building, so some people have to change there home location.

My opinion about '' An Inconvenient Truth ''


In my opinion this movie is very important because, the global warming problem its series problem and the government and people are must take the responsibility for that. Also the way that the movie it’s talk about was very scientific more that political.
Moreover, It’s show us the main problem and how we can solve it, first off all the government should take care about the environment to reduce the risk that’s happing right now.

Introduction to Global Warming


Since the mid-20th century, the average measured temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans increased. Therefore, it is a serious problem and there are many causes of global warming. There are various reasons why I think this.


There are many causes of global warming such as the ‘’use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions like water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone. As well as models with differing climate sensitivity ’’. Moreover, when human beings causes biodiversity loss and climate disruption gain around, this also causes global warming. Global warming is a serious problem because increasing global temperature is expected to cause sea levels to rise due to thermal growth of the ocean, an increase in the amount of extreme weather events, and major changes to the amount and pattern of rainfall which likely leads to an expanse of tropical areas and increased pace of desertification. In addition, to melting of land ice.


To sum up, I think that global warming is really a serious problem and it’s every human being responsibility. We should all do something to save our environment and make it a sustainable earth. In order to reduce global warming, we have to plant more trees, recycle and not burn things like coal and fossil fuels. Moreover, we should try to not to pollute because it causes also global warming.
