UAE Global Warming


I was interested in how global warming relates to my country so I did some research. In the first article I found, at 7days.ae/news, I read that Abu Dhabi will soon create a new energy source called solar system. Solar system is a system which uses the sun’s heat to make machines work like cars and factories. Abu Dhabi is trying to reduce gas emissions. A recent research shows that Abu Dhabi is one of the cities who produce huge amount of carbon dioxide. For example, here in Abu Dhabi we have at least 500,000 cars which produce carbon dioxide. Moreover, we have many factories which produce methane and carbon dioxide too. The government is planning to use solar system energy as an alternative solution and by next year the project will be completed. If this project goes far, the government will force all the factories in the UAE to use the solar energy instead of using oil and gas which cause global warming.


The second article is about the Environment 2007 Conference which happened last MAY. I think it was the most important conference that happened in Abu Dhabi. Many people from different countries attended this conference. The main subject of the conference was about the new energy sources and how the UAE are trying hard to stop Global warming. One of the new energy sources is gas. In Sharjah His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohamed Al Qasimi make a new gas station for new cars which use gas instead of petrol. The UAE Government is trying to make this new source popular for everyone in the next few years. However, it is focusing on reducing the emissions which are the main cause of global warming.

It's maybe a good idea to use solar power as an alternative source of energy. It might be useful to save the environment from oil and gas pollution. However, it's still not gonna save the earth from Global warming but maybe by a small range.

I was going to say that Solar Energy is not enough to stop Global warming. Other countries should all work together and find a way to stop GW.

There are many ways to save the earth, but who will try to participate in saing the earth?
thats the question !
