Cool Cities

Although the industrial development which leaded the economy to be revival, recently the entire planet faced environmental to main problems such as Rise in population and traffic delay. As a result, these caused the increase in energy consumption which leads to emitting more CO2. Moreover, 90% of the co2 emission to the air comes from building and transportation (Cool City).
The Cool city video emphasize that with the current carbon emission, eventually we need to have another planet to live on. Unfortunately, we can’t replace our planet. Therefore, we should reduce the carbon emission to the air by half (Cool City).
Bradley Hope of the Nation Newspaper considered building a cool city in UAE is a good idea. Because the temperature rises in the summer up to 5o Co and the humidity reaches 97%, people consume a lot of energy to cool down their apartments (Bradley, 2008). The project for building a cool city is designed by a Japanese company called Sustainable Development Consortium of Japan. The video added that the cool city is a proposed modern city. It has self contain cool city network. It has a circle shape with 1 km radius. It consists of public, residential, culture and resort zones. These areas are compactly arrange so it easily accessible on foot. There are three way for transportation among the city and they are cars, solar ships and train Furthermore, it has power plant farm and Jatropha Forrest to prevent sand. There are several techniques use to reduce the heat in the city such as self contain cooling network, roof membrane and using recycled cool air (Cool City).
In my opinion, by good management in consuming fuel, and reducing CO2 emission can overcome the consequences of the industrial revolution. The cool cities can play the role in solving the problem of global warming by reducing carbon emission and allowing people living comfortably.

Inconvenient Truth Movie's Review

An inconvenient Truth is a documentary movie that discuss about the consequences of the global warming. It made people agrees or strongly disagrees with Al Gore’s Ideas. In this report I will paraphrase two different reviews. Finally, I will conclude my report with the idea that I have.
Ian Forbes was disappointed because of the quarter of the time he spends in listening to Gore’s past family, politics and schooling instead of listening to advices which encourage people to change polluting ways. He emphasizes that humans are messing with the planet. However, the effects of pollution and how it is contributing to climate changes was clear to him, so no need for such a film to make him feel sleepy while he was watching. Furthermore, Forbes alludes to the lack of the credibility of the sources that included in the documentary .This is when Al Gore used to compare two pictures of Mt. Kilimanjaro fifty years ago and another from ten year. However both pictures are not taken in the same month (Forbes, 2006).
On other hand, Al phonso Sirtle said what makes this documentary unique and well worth the watch is the combination of scientific proof and passion. Sirtle added that Al Gore used sources graphs, scanned document and the computer generated images to explain to explain the problem to observer the numbers of documentaries that talk about the global worming have increased recently. However, Al phonso Sirtle implies none of them are supported by proof as Inconvenient Truth (Sirtle, 2006).

In my idea, we should Taken into account the information provided by such a documentary to overcome the crisis we are facing. No matter how bad is the presenting technique that Al Gore did, an inconvenient Truth worth everyone to watch for the purpose for which it transcends.
