An Inconvenient Truth

An inconvenient truth is one of the American academy awards winning documentary films about global warming presented by former of United States vice president Al Gore. The aim of the move is to show and explain to the people in the word about the danger of global warming. Also the movie shows, the increasing temperature of the Earth which started in the middle twentieth. One of the dangers of the global warming is the glaciers are almost gone. Also that will affect the people, because the forty percent of drinking water is come form it. The consequence of the ocean temperature rising is that it is going to reduce the ocean ice. If the ices become water, the sea level will increase and more disasters are going to happen such as flooding or hurricanes. There are three factors which contribute to the collision between our civilization and nature. First after 70 years we are at 6.5 billion and in 2050 we will reach around 9 billion. The second factor is the scientific and technology is increasing more and more. The third factor is our way of thinking and definitely all of theses factors are play significant part of global warming. By the way America has done great things to effect the global warming. In my opinion I strongly agree with this documentary film because every thing that he mentions is absolutely right.

Opinion – An Inconvenient Truth

First of all I appreciate Al Gore because; he was the first political man that talks about the global worming. I strongly agree with Al Gore that opinion change has been slow. This is because the nature of human can’t be change easily. If they are used to doing some thing wrong, it would be difficult be change. For example in the past the people thought that the earth is flat and at that time if we explain to them that are not true they will not accept it. Also the good thing that he used is the line chart, because by that way we can imagine that how our world is going to be in the future. The picture and the music were effective and they appropriate with the movie. However, there is only one thing that I don’t agree about the movie. This was about describing of all the bad things which in detail, while the solutions were described only briefly. Any way the scale rating of the movie is 9 out of 10.

Eye on Lebanon

Introduction:
Lebanon is one of the most beautiful countries in the Middle East. It was called in the bible “The land of milk and honey” and it was mention 76 times in the bible book. The capital is called Beirut. Whose nickname Paris of the east. Famous singer who is called Shakira is half Lebanonese. There are five countries surrounding Lebanon which are Jordan, Syria, Israel, Cyprus and Turkey.

Modren history:
The circumstances between Muslims and Christians weren’t good especially between 1943 and 1948. There were so many factors that increased the tensions between them. For example when Lebanon gain of independence, the power was held by the Christians and so the Muslims had little say in the country. Also an other reasons of increase tensions were the influx of Sunni Palestine refugees that fuelled resentment amongst Lebanonese Christians. The result of the tensions was Syria sent 20000 troops to quash radical Muslims and 2000 Palestine were killed only in one massacre. In 1982 the Israeli army invaded the city to remove the Palestinian Liberation Organization. while the fighting was going on, in 1989 a peace deal was singed between Muslims and Christians offering an equal balance in power for both of them. On that conflict there were a lot of human and economic costs. As result of that, between 150000-200000 were killed in the civil war, 300000 people were wounded and nearly quarter of the population left the country.

Lebanon now:
These days if we go there, we will find sings of social and economic recovery in Beirut. For example building cranes are everywhere, US style shopping mall are being bult, teenage girls on roller blades share the wide walkway and we will see Syrian man who sell thick Arabic coffee. Currently there are some problems. For example the life is too expensive especially the electricity and phone bills. Moreover the foreign people don’t want to develop the country, the only want to get quick money from them.

Greenhouse Cause of Global Warming

The earth atmosphere act like greenhouses and that mean to reducing the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission and that will lead to a significant temperature change.The way of who the greenhouses work is that blocking heat transfer from inside to outside. For instants that the heat which inside your car when it’s parked in the sun in a hot day. So opining the doors and windows allows air waves to flow and the heat to drive away. In addition gas carbon dioxide and water vapour, methane, ozone, Nitrogen oxides and chlorofluorocarbons are caused by greenhouse gases causing the global warming. Instead of the high technology and researches we can see that global warming still knotted secret, because it’s still the temperature in increase all over the world during the last century and the ice in the South Pole and west pole still in melt.

Carbon Footprint

A Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide. About my self there are three ways I contribute greenhouse gases. For example each weekend I drive 70km to my family house, I don’t use recycle material and I eat a lot of meat and milk. I used two website to measure the exact carbon footprint. In the first site I got 2.55 and the second site I got 10.5 so, the average is 6.525. In my class I asked four student and I came out that all of them got 6 and above. There are a lot of solutions to reduce the carbon footprint. For example use energy efficient light bulbs because it is energy efficient and long life also each bulb we use it saves at least 100 kg of CO2. Buy a car that is friendly to the environment and we should remember that our driving style also effect the carbon footprint.
