UAE & Global Warming






After reading some articles that are related to my country I was interested about the article I read in http://www.khaleejtimes.com/ . As we all know one of the main causes of global warming is carbon emission, and this article shows that the UAE contribute just 2.7% of these emissions, which is very low compared to other countries in Europe, and America. Another point that this article mentioned is that global warming will cause insurance companies a loss of money if the see level continue rising. The article also suggested some solution for global warming such as replace bulbs with saving energy bulbs, recycle waste and water and support alternative energy option.




Another interesting article was in http://www.msnbc.com/ . In this article it said that UAE and its energy consumption beat the USA in harming the environment. The article talked about how people in UAE use air conditioner in houses, businesses, cars, malls and everywhere because of the dessert environment that make it impossible to live without air conditioner. The WWF report says that UAE should cut emissions, but it’s not easy to educate many people from different nationalities on how to save the environment individually. Furthermore, UAE and especially Dubai claims the busiest airport. This country’s energy consumption is high and emissions are spread among its small population.
