An Inconvenient Truth Summary
Former vice president Al Gore, shares his concerns on the important issue of global warming in this documentary "An Inconvenient Truth".
In this movie Al Gore discusses the scientific facts behind global warming, explains how it has already begun to affect our environment and he proves it by giving strong evidence such as charts and videos. Also he talks about the unsuccessful consequences if people do not act, and shares what each individual can do to help protect the Earth for this and future generations. Also he convinces us that there is still time to make a difference to defend our planet and gives us some ideas. For instance he asks that government and people should change their bad habits. Finally, we should all be aware about this threat because it will harm us and the governments should find ways to decrease their carbon footprint.

Task Two - Global Warming
You may hear that the global warming is caused by George Bush or divorce, but that is not the truth at all. The truth is there are many things which cause the global warming, for instance:
Natural Causes:
This is the release of methane gas from frozen tundra and wetlands. Methane is a greenhouse gas. Another natural cause is that the earth goes through a cycle of climate change.
Man-made Causes:
Man-made causes possibly do the most damage to our planet. There are many man-made causes of global warming. Pollution is one of the biggest man-made problems. There are many examples of pollution types for instance burning fossil fuels which release methane, carbon dioxide from power plants, carbon dioxide emitted from cars and carbon dioxide from airplanes.
Global Warming will have a serious impact in the future for instance: the temperature will increase across the world and the ice in the North Pole will melt. Also global warming will affect agriculture. New crops will be able to be grown in areas that are currently too cold. Global warming will also affect human health. There may be more heat-related illnesses in hotter summers, and increased breathing problems as higher temperatures increase air pollution in cities, reducing air quality.
In my opinion the main causes of global warming is human activities because of what I have written above.

About Me!
My name is Ibrahim Khaleefa. I am 28 years old. I was born in Ras Al Khaima in 1981, but now I am living in Shahama. I am married and I have got a son and a daughter. I am an employee in Oil and Gas Company and I have been working there for four years. Now I am sponsored at ADMC and my major is Business Administration. My ambition after I finish my study at ADMC is getting higher position at my company and implementing what I have learned in ADMC. Regarding my interests and hobbies: I like to travel to India a lot because most of my business products are from there. Also I like using a computer and the internet.
In our blog project, Hedley is encouraging us to think critically and analytically about issues of climate change and global warming. I think there are many reasons that led to this problem, so in my blog I will talk more specifically about the climate change and global warming
