Abu Dhabi development (Al bateen Wharf)
The 54,000 square metre site will be known as the Al Bateen Wharf and will include a San Francisco-style Fishermen's Marina and the Al Bateen Wharf Hotel. The 400-room hotel will also have a serviced residential wing with 200 apartments. It will be developed by the UAE's multi-disciplined Belbadi Enterprises in partnership with Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), the project's master developer and the company which manages and develops the tourism assets of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA). And about the features the company applies their health club and shipyard showcasing the ancient skills of Arabian dhow building and spa as well as state-of-the-art business and conference centers. It will have shops at its street level, underground parking, a rooftop late dining restaurant, rooftop plaza and an eco-roof garden. The Fishermen's Marina will include berths for 285 fishing boats and 38 racing dhows and will retain the Bateen shipyard which has remained unchanged for years and showcases the ancient skills of Arabian dhow building. The dry-stack facility will have a maximum capacity for 200 boats. Hydraulic lifts are provided for each of the racing dhow berths in order to lift the boats out of the water after each race.
Finally, I think AL bateen Wharf projects will lead to an increase of the tourist's rate and it will make cool cities in UAE which is one of the most important ways to reduce CO2 emission.

My opinion about the "an inconvenient truth video"
In my opinion this documentary was great for many reasons, the major one it talk about the reality and our kid’s life in future. This movie was scientific more than political, because it talked about serious It nature problems and many facts. It was presented by Al Gore who was the vice president of the United States of America and famous politician. He wanted the world to know about the fact that collected over many years for the world to realize what they are facing and call them to act to save our environment by saying all the facts about the causes and solutions of what we can do in many ways to save the earth. Moreover, it shows us examples and studies of this problem and how to solve it. I think we must take appropriate actions to stop global warming crisis.
Summary about the movie " An Inconvenient Truth"
An Inconvenient Truth film is a documentary on Al Gore's campaign to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide. It was talking about the problems that effected on an environment, effects of global climate change and how it effected on human health. In this essay I will talk about Al Gore and the important facts and figures on this film.
In the first scene in this film he shows us the nature like green trees and rivers to make us relax and comfortable and feel how the beauty of it, he portraying the environment a beautiful place. . Al Gore is former United States Vice President and his film's is the fourth-highest-grossing documentary film in the United States. Also, Al Gore’s personal history his sister's death from lung cancer and his young son's near fatal car accident.
Since 1880, Temperature record showing that the ten hottest years ever measured in this atmospheric record have all occurred in the last 14 years. The peers of 928 serving that reviewed scientific on global climate change published between 1993 and 2003 and those surveys were found that every article either supported the causes of global warming consensus or didn’t support it. “What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know it’s what we know for sure that just ain’t " Guggenheim was explaining Mark Twain’s quote that so. It means that is the earth so big and people use to think on way of another assumption about global warming. The north of the quarter of the earth is place of the vast majority of the land mass and vegetation, and the glaciers that were around the world were melting. “There are 40% of people on earth get their drinking water from the rivers and from the glaciers of the hemmed” Guggenheim said that. Then, people will see in the ice after the US congress passed the Clean Air Act is the year that it has been done by the bubbles. The consequences of the ocean temperature rising like causes hurricane and stronger storms, rising sea level and ice melting end. The roads and buildings that were built on permafrost were falling down and building collapsed. In the last 650,000 years, the CO2 and the annual temperature levels for the in Antarctic ice core and he take samples of and examining the bubbles of atmosphere presents in the ice and collapse of a major ice sheet in Greenland. And that will increase of the levels of the sea and makes disaster and flooding coastal so that will increase the number of refugees. The factors contributed to the collision between our civilization and the earth such as the population, the new technological revelation and our ways of thinking. The Greenland’s melting water decrease the water salinity and that could halt the currents that keep northern Europe warm and which it also keep quickly trigger increase of local cooling there.
In conclusion, at the end of Al Gore's documentary, he gives solution for that problem also he calls upon his viewers to learn how they can help him in these efforts and work all together to save planet and our lives because all of these problems made by ours activities, population, new technology and our way of thinking. Then he says the effects of global warming can be successfully reversed by releasing les CO2 and planting more vegetation to consume existing CO2.

Global Warming Project

One of the biggest problems facing the world is Global warming and its effects. Many scientists believe that Global warming is caused by human activity. In this essay I will talk about this problem and the causes and solutions of Global warming.
One of the biggest problems caused by warming is melting ice shelves, which is could also affect in rising sea levels and flooding coastal areas. Another result of Global warming is change in weather patterns. This might have stronger and more frequent storms. Finally, warmer weather could also effect and changing migration patterns, and many risk higher extinction. This might have move mosquitoes and their disease, which also increased air pollution and caused typhoons and tornados.
In my opinion, we have to reduce fossil fuel. This will increased use of alternative energy sources, including solar energy and wind power. And planting more trees.
