What i learned during the project


This project thought me a lot of useful things. One of things its how to do the blog because it’s my first time. Another thing is that now I know a lot of information about the global warming causes, effects and the meaning of it. On the other hand the blog is so useful for organization and to give your comment about some arguments. I hope I wrote useful information in my blog about global warming.

Best solutions


The good news is that we can slow and eventually stop global warming, but we must act today. The most important step we can take to curb global warming is to improve our nation's energy efficiency. Our cars and light trucks, home appliances and power plants could be made much more efficient by simply installing the best current technology. Energy efficiency is the cleanest, safest, most economical way to begin to curb global warming.
No global warming solution will succeed unless we can control emissions from cars. If U.S. autos were a separate country, they would be the world’s fifth largest global warming polluter, emitting more than all sources in Great Britain combined!
While there is no technology to remove C02 from a car's exhaust, we can make them pollute less by making them more fuel efficient. By using today's best technology, car makers could dramatically increase the fuel economy of their cars and trucks. In fact, off-the-shelf technology can change the nation’s best-selling SUV, the Ford Explorer, from a 19 mpg gas-guzzler to an efficient 34 mpg vehicle. Gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, such as the 70 mpg Honda Insight and 55 mpg Toyota Prius, can be used to obtain significant improvements in fuel economy. If we are to make any progress in slowing global warming, we must make our cars go farther on a gallon of gas.

global warming in the UAE


The dumping of untreated sewage into the sea and global warming are destroying the Gulf's coral reefs, a United Nations report found. The study, called the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities, said the discharge of untreated waste water is the biggest source of pollution in these waters. "Untreated sewage is a big problem that leads to the loss of coral reefs. "But the other problem really is global warming," said Wolf Hilbertz, a Dubai-based German conservationist. Global warming has created difficult conditions for marine fauna and flora, the rising sea levels and the effects of seaward development." Other possibilities in coral reef conservation in the country being looked at include coral reef propagation through advanced technologies.

the effects of human activities in global warming


Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and changes in land use, have increased the abundance of small particles in the atmosphere. These particles can change the amount of energy that is absorbed and reflected by the atmosphere. They are also believed to modify the properties of clouds, changing the amount of energy that they absorb and reflect. Intensive studies of the climatic effects of these particles began only recently and the overall effect is uncertain. It is likely that the net effect of these small particles is to cool the climate and to partially offset the warming of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases.

effects of the global warming


There are a lot of effects of the global warming. One of the importantText Color effects is that increasing global average temperature Natural reasons will always affect global warming effects. However, human activities are increasing significantly the concentrations of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2) in the atmosphere, resulting in global warming effects. Although more research is needed, understanding of global warming effects processes and computer models have improved. global warming effects models conclude that most of the warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to man-made activities. Scenarios are developed to predict what global warming effects are expected for the future and what the likely consequences will be.

global warming of wasting water in car washing

One of the causes of global warming is that wasting water in car washing. Few people realize that washing our cars in our driveways is one of the most environmentally un-friendly chores we can do around the house. Unlike household waste water that enters sewers or septic systems and undergoes treatment before it is discharged into the environment, what runs off from your car goes right into storm drains -- and eventually into rivers, streams, creeks and wetlands where it poisons aquatic life and wreaks other ecosystem havoc. After all, that water is loaded with a witch’s brew of gasoline, oil and residues from exhaust fumes -- as well as the harsh detergents being used for the washing itself. I think we can use some ways to reduce wasting in car was hing.
