AIT summary


In this movie Al Gore talks about a truth that the whole world will suffer from if we didn’t change our life style. He spent his own time traveling around the world to make people aware of this truth and to help save the planet. Also he stressed that the climate is changing according to scientific opinions and charts as a result of the increasing CO2 emission. The film included many sections that disagree with people who say that Global Warming is not a problem like the collapsing ice in many countries like Antractica and the rising temperatures. Al Gore’s father used to grow tobacco and his sister used to smoke it until she died suffering from Cancer. After that his father stopped growing it because he didn’t want people die because of him and he told us this story because he wanted every one to stop doing wrong things.

Why it's called "An Inconvenient Truth" ?

“An Inconvenient Truth” is a movie that talks about Global Warming, the rising CO2 emission around the world and the use of energy. It’s called “An Inconvenient Truth” because the emission of CO2 causes many problems. Also it might force us to change our life style to reduce our carbon footprint which is uncomfortable for many because they are used to their routine and it’s hard to change it.

Introduction to Cool Cities

Global Warming is a worldwide case that may cause major issues in the next 50 years. What causes Global Warming is the rising temperature of the earth than the average because when the sunbeam is caught between the earth and the Ozone layer as a result of pollution like the increasing number of cars, factories and the use of the energy. Governments must get involved with this problem and think critically to help solve it. Many cities have signed to be cool-cities. Abu Dhabi is planning to create a city that is entirely powered by a renewable energy. It may help but there are many things that Abu Dhabi should do to be a cool-city such as recycling cans and papers and using renewable resources. In this project I’m going to research and use critical thinking to find smart solutions for this problem.
