An inconvenient truth

The movie is about global warming, and it is presented by United States Vice President Al Gore who was the nominee for president of America. He describes the changes in climate and the temperature and he describe the results of these changes. For example the breaking and the melting of the ice in west Antarctica which could raise global sea levels by nearly 6 meters which will drown some of lands and islands around the world. This is a big problem to the animals which live in Antarctica. He said because of that we may have to draw a new map of world. Another thing he talked about in the film is the relationship between carbon and temperature. The increase in carbon rate will raise the temperature in the world which may cause many problems. One of these problems is the increasing in sea temperature. Because it is making the hurricanes to get stronger He also mentioned that 40% of the people of the earth depend in Himalaya chain for their drink water. Al Gore wanted to show us that the people should learn from their mistakes and start to change. When he spoke about his sister died from a long cancer. In the end of the movie Al Gore mentioned possible solution for the "global warming" problem like, try to reduce our carbon emission in the world.

What does “An Inconvenient Truth" mean??

"An inconvenient Truth", there are many reasons for put this title for this movie. One of these reasons is that the movie talked about a problem and the people don’t want to believe this problem and this truth and they don’t want to do any thing to solve this problem because it will effect negatively on their life stile so that they don’t want to change their our life stile to save the earth because they don’t know how big this problem is and Al Gore wants to make them wake up. Because of that it is named "An inconvenient Truth".

My reaction on An incononveinent truth movie

An Inconvenient Truth film makes me feel fear from the future. We are facing a big problem and we have to solve it and start our action to this problem now. Al Gore opened my eyes on important thing like global warming, many people think that it is a normal problem but if they watch this movie they will know the amount of this problem and I am sure they will care more about this problem and they will take action like try to do something to reduce their carbon emission now, to save the earth before it is a global disaster.

Abu Dhabi Solution for Global Warming

Global Warming is important subject in our life, and we have to care about it. Every body in everywhere should know about it and how it is can effect in our life and what kind of problem it may cause.

Abu Dhabi should do something to make people aware of global warming. It can do many things such as:

1- Put this subject in student course in all Abu Dhabi schools and universities and teach the student about this problem and what it's may cause and effect in our life.
2- It can make books talk about this problems in Arabic, and sell it in all libraries.
3- Abu Dhabi should advertise about this subject in all newspaper and in radio and TV channels.

By that all people will know about Global Warming and about it danger on the earth and they will care and take action to this problem.

Conclusion

We’ll save the planet only if we’re forced to change our lifestyle and make decision with live life with less carbon dioxide. All people should now the amount of danger that we live and we have take action to this. We have only one planet to live on it and we have to keep it save by trying to reduce our carbon foot print and make a cool cities, cities with zero carbon emission.

Lebanon

One of the most beautiful Arab countries is Lebanon, which was called in the bible "the land of milk and honey". The capital of Lebanon is Beirut; it is having a nickname which is "Paris of the east". Lebanon has one of the most famous singers in the world she is "Shakira". The name of the five countries which surround Lebanon is Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Cyprus and Israel.

Lebanon has many realign for example Muslims and Christians. Frome 1943 to 1948 there was circumstances that contributed to increased tensions between Muslims and Christians. The tensions was in 1975 the reasons of these tension was, Christians held the balance of power and Lebanese Muslims had little say in the running their country, and members of a radical Christian group, the Phalange attacked and killed a bus full of Palestinians in down town Beirut. The result of the tensions is that, Revenge killings followed, and violence began to spiral out of control. In 1982 the Israel army invaded the city with the aim of removing the Palestinian Liberation organisation. The space deal was reached.
The human and economic costs of the conflict were between 150000_200000 people died daring the civil war. Another 300000 were wounded, nearly a quarter of the population left the country, and for year Beirut's economy was paralysed.

There are some problems in the Lebanon. Like, living there is expensive, air pollution and a lot of traffic on the street. However it's nice country.

Crowds flock to monkey 'wedding'

One of the strangest weddings in the world. It was a ceremony in eastern India in Ghanteswara village in Orissa state. It was attended by some 3000 villagers.

The "groom" a three year old male monkey named Manu was found him in a neighbouring village. The priest followed all rituals that he does in human marriages in the monkeys marriage. The monkeys were showered with gifts by those present. The woman who has been looking after the female monkey felt as if her daughter was getting married.
