Cool cities

Cool cities are a new program to reduce the global warming and protect our environment by using smart energy solutions to save money and build a cleaner and safer future. It is a closed city which used clean energy to reduce the carbon emission. Here I’m going to mention about how cool cities can be a great solution to survive our planet.

We can divide these cities in two types, the residential and the urban. A great thing is that these cities contain many zones and some of them can be public centers like schools, stadiums and restaurants. The other is residential zones such as hotels and villas. The last zone is the business zones.

There are many things in cool cities that will help to reduce the carbon emission. First of all, using eco-friendly transport such as the vehicles which work with electricity. Also, sharing the vehicles to reduce the number of it on the road, especially during typical rush hours. Another solution is that using operable roofs which consist of materials that effectively reflect the sun's energy from the roof surface. However, this roofs will open and closed depends on the weather. For example it will open in winter to use the natural air from the cool weather, but it will close up in the summer because of the sunlight which streams in the cities. Finally, the lights which are using in every where will be changing because they want to fluorescent bulbs to save the energy which will help to reduce the global warming.

To sum up, using this new technology way is a start to reduce the global warming, but I think it will be more great if we use it in a huge city because this kind of solution have a strong effect and that is a good point to increase the success on this project.

My opinion about "An Inconvenient Truth"

Here is my opinion about “An Inconvenient Truth” movie. In the following I will write about what I like on this film and how it changes our behavior.

I think this film has tow aspect political and scientific. But most people say that it is political more than scientific because they don’t want to admit that the global warming is mainly human caused. But I believe that this film is scientific because for many reasons. First, many of Al Gore’s facts were getting from real experiments and scientific facts. Another reason why I think “An Inconvenient Truth” movie is scientific is that the global warming affects our environment and the atmosphere which classified as scientific problem because it affects the whole world.

To sum up, this film consider an important documentary to aware people about the global warming because before showing this movie many people didn’t know about the serious effects of global warming.

Summary about the movie " An Inconvenient Truth"






Al Gore who was a vice president of USA crates a film which called “An Inconvenient Truth”. This film is discussing the whole affects of global warming and some solution for this problem, also he tries to make people aware about the dangerous of the global warming. Here I’m going to talk about the film and how he explained it.

He started his film by showing us many different scenes from the environment. The scenes in the film was natural and very beautiful, he wants us to be regret when we will see the rest of the film because of the changing that happen in the world. He wants the human around the world to control the emission of green houses because it mays reduce global warming in the future. Also, Al Gore shows us an examination of ice core samples in Antarctic to know the amount of the CO2 and the temperature. Melting the ice sheet in the Greenland will cause many things such as the sea level will raise by approximately 20 feet and will make many people homeless and increase the flooding in coastal area. Another affect of melting ice is that 40% of people who get their water from Himalaya will suffer from shortage of water.

In conclusion, global warming is a serious problem which cause changing in the weather patterns and this will lead to raise the sea level and a lot of coastal cities will disappear. Using renewable sources to reduce the global warming is one solution. Finally, we all must reduce the global warming and protect our planet.
