๑.. UAE and Global Warming ..

The Emirates News Agency studies proved that the major result of global warming in the UAE is the rise of sea levels. In addition, the last study in 2006 said that the sea level in the UAE increased by 2.89%, which is very high compared to the last years.


Furthermore, there are other studies which estimate the UAE climate in the future will dramatically change and increasing in the temperature due to the global warming. This will change our lifestyle and oblige us to abandon many devices which depend on oil that causing environmental pollution. Currently observed that every local family has at least three cars and this is what makes the situation more serious.

๑.. Individual Action in UAE ..

The UAE government follows many ways to reduce the CO2 which is the major problem of global warming. They plant many areas with trees to reduce CO2 levels. Moreover, they plan to decrease the number of cars and change it by the public transport. For example, they provide modern devices such as the Dubai metro. Furthermore, they plan to reduce the oil energy uses and change it for solar energy. For example, they import new machines which work with solar energy and use them in some factories. The UAE individuals should participate the government in saving the environment and increase the awareness among UAE citizens. They should grow plans in their own houses, decrease using cars and teach their children how to protect the environment.

In summary, I have learnt a lot from this project and realized the danger of global warming on the planet. First, I knew that the main reason of environmental pollution and high temperature is the human activities. The factories smokes and gases resulting from cars are clear examples for human activity. After that I have learnt some solutions to reduce the global warming such as agriculture, using the public transport, provide new energy such as solar energy and windmill ... etc. Personally, I will plant my house to reduce the pollution and I will warn the people from the danger of global warming.
