Abu Dhabi development (Al bateen Wharf)
Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC) is working with public and private sectors to develop sustainable project in the UAE, and try to make a cool cities which will decrease emissions. As we know, cool cities are designed to decrease carbon dioxide emissions which cause global warming. Now they are planning many designs to develop Abu Dhabi and one of these projects is Al bateen Wharf.

Al bateen Wharf will be a signature waterfront destination with San Francisco- style Fishermen’s Marina and luxury five stars hotels that all designed with sensitivity to the area’s long standing fishing and boat building traditions.
The 400 room hotel will also have a serviced residential wing with 200 apartments and deluxe poolside and executive town homes. In addition it will consist of waterfront boardwalk restaurant and cafes. Boardwalk and the streets level shopping also will be there. Also it will have rooftop plaza and berths of 285 fishing boats and 38 racing dhows. Also it will include Dry-stack facilities for 200 boats.

Moreover, it will comprise banqueting facilities, a health club and spa as well as state-of-the-art business and conference centers. It will have shops at its street level, underground parking, a rooftop late dining restaurant, rooftop plaza and an eco-roof garden.
Al Bateen Wharf Hotel will incorporate the latest in sustainable design features with energy-efficient solar screening, eco-friendly landscaping, passive cooling through shading and airflow, fritted glass with integrated solar cells and a transparent 'sail like' veil which will transform the shape of the building at night.

So, I think these projects will the UAE to make cool cities which is one of the most important ways to reduce CO2 emission and make life easy and safe.

Cool City

Cool City, being promoted by the Sustainable Urban Development Consortium for Japan and Gulf States Partnership, will incorporate 'green' technology in transport, urban development and architecture with a low carbon footprint.
Since we start of the industrial revolution we start to face many problems such as earth environmental issues which include raise in population, traffic delays, and increase in use of energy and these can cause to raise the carbon dioxide level on the earth. If we continue living these life style we will need another earth to replace our own, but we know it’s impossible to replace it, so we have to live in one earth and decrease level of carbon dioxide by one half which is know by cool earth 50. During 30 years ago Japan has improved energy efficiency by 37 % and oil consumption has decrease 8%. Over 90% of carbon dioxide emitted into the air comes from buildings and transportation. Then the SDCJ which consist of 11 corporation come together to solve these problem. they have reach to an idea that will use an natural energy, which is known as Cool City, so ill explain about it.Cool city contain a special residential herbs will be connected to cool city by public transportation. The city will have a radius of only 1 KM from the purpose transportation terminal complex which is centrally located and one can comfortably walk anywhere in the area. You can move around by a (LRT) light real transit, hybrid car or solar ships.
The makeup of the cool city is consist of central business and public zone around which residential zone, across the canal lies a green band with a culture, sport zone and the resort zone. Around the city there will be solar powered plant farms surrounded by jatropha trees to prevent sand shifting. Cool city will use the natural energy. In addition cool city will have a bundle of trees and water not only for attractive, but for the decrease the heat. The main transport system used is monorail station, light rail transit station, water transportation system and hybrid car parking. Cool city is a city which can reduce carbon dioxide by 60% as well as we have a wonderful life style.

So, I think this project was a good idea to reduce carbon dixide level, which is better for the earth. we as the humans have to help in reduce the Co2 and work harf to educate properly and know what can cuse damage to our planet.

My opinion about movie Inconvenient Truth

My opinion about movie Inconvenient Truth
What I think that is the movie is scientific more than it political. The movie was very good and covered almost everything what cause about the global warming, and we can understand that global warming is a man-made problem. He talks in the move clearly what cause the global warming? It’s the CO2 from the earth and greenhouse gases. He uses the evidence in movie to show us and to believe that now we see the impact of global warming. In addition he used in movie pictures from the environment and what they like look before and after the global warming, to add more the movie shows how we rise the temperature and how it fit with the CO2 today and what it will be the level of CO2 next 50 years. Some people might political movies because Al Gore wants to be president of US, but I think it’s scientific and it talk about serious and big problem that will be the disaster for the world and especially the US. He was great to give us the massage about global warming and what we have to do about it
So overall, its good and wonderful movie and I suggest every one to watch it and to know that how we did this to our world by our self. So we have to be careful now.

summary about movie An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth

The movie starts with natural scene green trees and river. He was setting and takes long breath and said is the world will be the same for his child.

Al Gore is a politician and he was a president of Vise for 8 year and he win Nobel Prize after this movie. He was the first person who explains about the global warming very clear and how the earth will be in danger. He starts the movie by showing the picture of earth that his friend called Tom takes it during three years period. Then he explains Mark Twain’s quotes that people use to think in one way and they think that content were not move. In addition he talks about why the temperature is kept in rising and that because of greenhouse gases made by humans and the rise in CO2 levels, and now we see the impact of these results. Also it shows that the north Ecuador was the vast majority of the land mass and vegetation. And the glaciers around the world were melting and he shows some pictures that taken before and after melting such as Kilimanjaro, Africa in 1970 it was lot of snow and now after 30 years the ice melts. In Himalaya there is big problem because more than 40% of people use to drink water from the spring and river that melt so what will happen if it melt all the glaciers? They see in ice there is publs and they can measure how much is CO2 in that atmosphere.

He also says that we can see 1000 year if we compare the temperature and CO2 level now we can see that they are close and fit together. 650,000 years the CO2 was never go up to 300 ml, but now it raise a lot and the human are who create this problem. Big storms, sea level up and Ice melting these all are the consequences of the ocean temperature rising. Also the building and roads built on permafrost collapse and fall down. In Antarctica the Ice are melting and shelves separate. Population, Technology and what or the way we think are the three factors contributed to the collision between our civilization and the earth.

What I think that Al Gore explain very clearly about the global warming that no one before explain about it. This movie is the massage to all human to know about the danger of global warming and of course we create these big problem, but we have the time to fix what we did. We have to educate well and learn more about the earth.

Introduction to Global Warming

Introduction to Global Warming
The earth is in danger of global warming and we are creators of the problem. Global warming is becoming a more serious threat than ever before. So, in this essay I’ll write about the causes of global warming and why it’s a serious problem.Carbon Dioxide emissions from all Power Plants in 2002 amounted to 40% in the U.S. Carbon dioxide emissions stem from the burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of electricity generation. Natural gas gives off 50% of the carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas, released by coal and 25% less carbon dioxide than oil, for the same amount of energy produced. Coal contains about 80 percent more carbon per unit of energy than gas does, and oil contains about 40 percent more. The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that aviation causes 3.5 percent of global warming, and that the figure could raise to 15 percent by 2050. In addition, Deforestation, after carbon emissions caused by humans, is the second principle cause of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

(NASA Web Site) Deforestation is responsible for 20-25% of all carbon emissions entering the atmosphere, by the burning and cutting of about 34 million acres of trees each year. Each year the equivalent of 40 or more football fields full of trees are removed and used to generate power for us to use.
The United States is concerned about climate change, In addition, 47 per cent of respondents think global warming is caused primarily by human activity, while 34 per cent believe long term planetary trends are to blame. In 2007, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report which states that global warming has been "very likely" or 90 per cent certain caused by humans burning fossil fuels. The effect of global warming can be seen all over the world with the increased floods, hurricanes, forest fires and melting ice caps.
