introduction to global warming


First I would like to explain the meaning of Global warming. Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans started in the mid-20th century. Well this increase of the temperature didn’t come from nowhere; there are causes for the talk about the causes. First is the green house effect, the green house is a combination layer of some gases which are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and water vapor. First one is carbon dioxide which caused by burning fossil fuel which comes from power plants, cars, air planes and buildings. Second is methane which comes from rice paddies, bacteria in bogs and fossil fuel productions. Third is nitrous oxide which is naturally produced by oceans and rainforests, also it is manufactured by human like nylon and nitric acid production. Fourth is water vapor which is caused by heat, water vapor increases the heat because it holds the heat, to be more specific it holds two-thirds of all heat in the green house. In general I can say burning fossil fuel and the modern technology are the main causes of the global warming.

In my opinion people must start to reduce the gasses emission, as a start people must know the dangers of global warming so that everyone realize the current situation, reducing gasses emissions is everyone responsibility so people must be taught what is their role in order to reduce it. Countries must depend on clean sources of power.

Global Warming

First I would like to introduce myself, my name is Ahmed Saadiq Al Marzouqi, I’m 23 years old and I live in bani-yas . My hobbies are playing foot ball, swimming, car racing and play video games.

I’m a civil engineering student at the higher colleges of technology sponsored by Abu Dhabi municipality, Abu Dhabi is developing and expanding, a lot of cities are being built so I said this major will grantee for me a good future and a higher position.

When I decided to study civil engineering I thought it’s all about building high towers, houses and roads but then I became to know that there are many factors effects on structures such as weather. That’s why I chose to write about global warming because higher temperature means we have to change the specification of the structure and make it stronger, in addition higher temperature means more humid which effects on the structure as well, so we have to study the situation carefully otherwise we will end up having cities which cannot last long.


There are many changes going on today, changes in our life, changes in the world economy and changes in the weather. Some changes we might notice them but some we don’t, let’s say for example everyone noticed the recent world food issue which led to increase the prices of the food thereafter many poor countries suffered the consequences. The global warming is a slow change in the weather therefore a lot of people don’t notice it but the consequences can be really dangerous that’s why alot of organizations have already took a step by making studies to reduce the global warming and warned the world leaders countries from the disaster which may occur in the future.
