Refelction 2

This course was one of the most interesting courses we have ever taken and this is because we had a great instructor who has been with us throughout this course and has taught us a lot of things. We have become able to write essays that contains 600 words as min. we have known a lot of things that is related to how to do a complete project from the beginning until the end. It is easy to know that we can write an essay or a project, but this course has taught us how to deal with essays, assignments and projects in a professional way and at the end, we have known what LSEC is. What is so important is that we have Mr. Hedley who has walked the entire road with us and stopped in every tiny point that was difficult and make it much easier and more comprehensible as we have improved our thinking style, and writing and researching skills. So, a special thanks to Mr. Hedley who have done all that.

Now looking back to myself, I am a hard working student who works so hard in improving himself. I knew that this course is really important because it is about knowing the professional steps to make a professional and perfect project and almost every subjects or courses I will take in my next year will need that, so I had to know the steps to make my work in the next courses much more professional than being a novice one. I know I have worked so hard and learnt a lot of things and I believe that I can get a high mark like an A. All in all, as it is said: if there is a will, there is away and I have the will and with Mr. Hedley, I could find my right way!

Global Warming

There are a lot of dangerous consequences of global warming.  Initially, when the earth becomes warmer, thousands of fish species will die because they do not have the suitable environment to live in. A new report from World Wildlife Fund (WWF) stunted that fish population are under increasing threat from global warming. WWF director Andrew Lee said: "Climate change increases the pressure on fish population that are already strained to the limit by over-fishing in the marine environment."(WWF.or.jp)(3) Undoubtedly, the global warming causes the earth temperature to increase as there is much more CO2 released into the air (4). It resulted in the collapse of permafrost in Alaska and Northern European. Anther dangers result of the global warming is that the buildings near the polar will possibly collapse. Al Gore mentioned that global warming would cause differences in the ecological niche. It means that the food chain in the ecology system would be destabilized. For example, the polar bear would die because the ice will disappear. Consequently, there would be a lot of diseases in the area to the corpses of the bears.  He also warned us that if the ice shelf melts, Florida, the Maldives, and much of the low lying areas of the world will be under water.  It is exactly what is happening in Antarctica nowadays. The ice shelf is pouring into the sea, which results in the rise of sea level.  The NSIDC's leader Dr. Ted Scambos said the Arctic Circle is receding at such a rate that is now close to a "tipping point" from which it may never recover.

The global warming has some causes and effects. There are a lot of different reasons for global warming in the world. It is caused by many causes such as factories pollution, carbon dioxide increase, burning coal, and greenhouse gases are all causes of global warming. The main reason for the global warming is the man activities on the earth. (1) Al Gore, a vice president of the USA and Nobel Prize winner, said that there are three factors causing collision between our civilization and the earth, population, pollution, and technology. These three elements are all forming the global warming and increasing the climate change.  Burning fossil fuels is one of the major causes of global warming around the world. It means more Carbone Dioxide released into the air.  The second cause of global warming is the population. More people means needs for food, which absolutely results the need for transportation and industry to make food. All are sources of global warming. When the population increases, the need for food would rise and the pressure on the environment would go up. That is because we do not stop building factories polluting the earth. The green house gases cause the sun heat not to release in to the space which causes the climate change. The temperature of the earth increases. (2)It would result in a universal lack of food because there would be a great disturbance in the ecological order of food chain. . An inconvenience truth means that the global warming will pose a need to change and change is often inconvenience. ((N. LISCHAK , GABRIEL . (July 10, 2006 , July 10).

Although the UAE signed the United Nations’ Kyoto protocol on global warming, it is found that the UAE is one of the countries with the highest demand on the glob ecosystem. The emirates are consuming away energy by cooled swimming pools, huge 4x4s, artificial resort islands, an indoor ski slope and air conditioners in every house, car and shopping mall. The environmental agencies are putting planes to cut emissions, through reducing the use of air conditions. Campaigns are motivating people to turn down their air conditioning. But the need to live a good life which is somehow felt by the air conditioning every where, it is a hard solution to achieve. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16640176/
