Abu Dhabi Development: Saadiyat Island

Saadiyat Island project, which will transform the 27 square kilometre natural island, just 500 metres offshore the United Arab Emirate’s capital city, into a strategic international tourism destination by 2018. The Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), which will oversee Saadiyat’s mixed-use development. In this essay I will write about the energy saving features, missing energy saving features and planned features to reduce greenhouse emissions in Saadiyat Island.

As energy saving strategies, there are controlled daylight supply to replace artificial lighting, solar protection of facades and roof opening, well shaded building skin with ventilated cavity, optimised displacement ventilation system to minimize fresh air demand and wind induced ventilation. There are some effects of the energy saving, I didn’t see it here in this project plan.The UAE emits 60 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year per person, making it one of the world’s top contributors to greenhouse-gas emissions per capita so these cool cities wil solve this problem.

In conclusion, Abu Dhabi is building cool cities to save good environments for the future. Cool cities include some islands which will reduce greenhouse emissions.

Cool cities
All over the world, there are Global warming’s effects . Scientists want to build green cities to reduce these effects and to find cool cities which are gave us good conditions to live. We must use modern technology to build cool cities. I will write about technology and how we can use it.

One method to reduce global warming’s emission is an operable roof that responds to the temperature - in the summer it will close up and reduce the sunlight that streams in, while in the winter it will open completely and use the desert air to heat the inside. Other methods shifts to a cleaner production, renewable energy, better water resource management, the reduction of solid waste and sewage treatment, the reuse and recycling of materials and improved public health practices.

In my opinion this is a good idea, because cool cities will reduce global warming emissions and we will live in healthy environment. For example, companies from Dubai and Abu Dhabi have teamed up with overseas partners to build a Dh6 billion (US$22bn) power station using hydrogen extracted from coal.

In conclusion, it is good to build cool cities in the nearest future. That will help us to control global warming emissions.

My opinion about an inconvenient truth movie

Now, I will tell you my opinion about an inconvenient video, is it political, scientific or art? I will tell you what government should do for this problem.

It is a scientific video, because Gore shoots himself in the foot by oversimplifying everything. He never gives any real science behind his theories. Rather, he says it’s too complicated and then throws a graph on screen and calls it gospel truth. The reality behind global warming is that (contrary to what Gore says), there is debate about it in the scientific world, particularly with people in the meteorology field. It is a political move, especially when the ending credits call for viewers to encourage everyone they know to see this movie and vote for environmentally friendly candidates. The government should solve this problem in the nearest years and limit the carbon dioxide quality which emit from many sources.

In conclusion, Al Gore gives us public idea about the global warming and results of this problem. So we must solve this problem by reducing carbon dioxide quality.

Summary of an Inconvenient Truth Movie

An Inconvenient Truth is an American documentary film about global warming, presented by former United States Vice President Al Gore. An Inconvenient Truth is the fourth-highest-grossing documentary film to date in the United States. The film's thesis is that global warming is real, potentially catastrophic, and human-caused. Gore presents specific data that supports the thesis which i will show it in this essay.

In the slide show Gore reviews the scientific opinion on climate change, discusses the politics and economics of global warming, and describes the consequences he believes global climate change will produce if the amount of human-generated greenhouse gases is not significantly reduced in the very near future. Gore discusses the possibility of the collapse of a major ice sheet in Greenland or in West Antarctica. In Greenland, glacier retreat has been observed in outlet glaciers, resulting in an increase of the ice flow rate and destabilization of the mass balance of the ice sheet that is their source. The climate of Antarctica is one of intense cold and great aridity. Most of the world's freshwater ice is contained in the great ice sheets that cover the continent of Antarctica. The retreat of glaciers, worldwide and rapid, affects the availability of fresh water for irrigation and domestic use, mountain recreation, animals and plants that depend on glacier-melt, and in the longer term, the level of the oceans.

In conclusion, the film shows that we faced big problem which is global warming. Al Gore advises us to find solution for this problem.

Introduction to Global warming
Global warming is a problem which has happened for several years. There are some causes of this problem which are man-made and some natural causes. In this essay I’m going to write about them.
Natural causes are causes created by nature. One is due to the emission artslike a greenhouse of methane gas from the tundra region. Methane is a greenhouse gas. A greenhouse gas is a gas that traps heat in the earth's atmosphere. Another cause is that the earth goes through a cycle of climate change which lasts around 40,000 years.
Man-made causes probably do the most harm. There are many man-made causes. Pollution is one of the biggest man-made problems. Pollution comes in many types. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes pollution. Fossil fuels are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil. When fossil fuels are burned they give off a green house gas called CO2. Also mining coal and oil allows methane to escape. Methane is naturally in the ground. When coal or oil is mined you have to dig up the earth a little. When you dig up the fossil fuels you dig up the methane as well.
Another major man-made cause of Global Warming is the population. More people need more food, and more methods of transportation. That means more methane because there will be more burning of fossil fuels, and more agriculture. Agriculture is going to be damaged by Global Warming. Are you smell something terrible from a barn filled with animals? You're smelling methane. Another source of methane is manure. Because more food is needed we have to raise food. Animals like cows are a source of food which means more manure and methane. Another problem with the increasing population is transportation. More people means there are more cars, and more cars means more pollution. Also, many people have more than one car.
In my opinion Arctic and Antarctic will see reciting in a few years. So we must solve this problem for other generations.

Everyone has different lives from others and has special events in his life. In this essay I’m going to write about me and my life.
I’m Salem Rabei a paramedic student in Abu Dhabi Men’s College. I’m from RAK. I was born in 1988. I study in Abu Dhabi because this study is Abu Dhabi Men’s College only .We are 16 students in the class from Abu Dhabi Police . We study from Sunday to Thursday. I go to RAK at weekends. I hope to graduate and be a paramedic in the future, so I try to get good results in my study. I study this program to help my country, because there are lots of car accidents. Most of deaths in the UAE because of accidents. I hope the police put laws which are reduce the accidents in our country.
In conclusion, I suggest that the police to open this program in all colleges in the UAE. I happy with my life and study.
