Everyone knows these days that global warming is a big problem in our life. Global warming has increased more than before. Of course there are many causes for this problem; also there are many solutions that the scientists have discovered. In this blog I’m going to write a problem-solution report about global warming and give a solutions plan in my opinion.
The problems that face us about the global warming are many. I’ll talk about the most important issues. The first problem associated with global warming is the effect on animals. In general, it affects nature. According to the WWF www.panda.org it affects the lives of the animals and their lifestyle for many countries. That means if the climate changed 1’C, it will have effects in big ways. Imagine it changing to 5 C? It will be a catastrophe. Another problem caused by global warming is rising sea levels as Jeneen Hobby said in his report from library.hct.ac.ae. The sea level will increase by “no more than 6m” and will cover the islands near the coast. A third problem is the increase of carbon dioxide. If the carbon dioxide level increase, the temperature of the earth will rise and it will become hotter.
Although there are lot problems for global warming, also there are several things we can do to solve the problem of global warming. One solution is to use clean technologies as ELPC said in www.globalwarmingsolutions.org. The clean technologies will decrease carbon dioxide by 51%. Another solution is to plant the earth with more trees. When the trees breathe, they take the carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. A third solution is to use electricity instead of fuel and gases. When the people depend more on electrical energy the carbon dioxide will decrease.
Overall, in my opinion global warming can be controlled if we control our lifestyle and try to not do unnecessary things. And if we try to use fewer cars and big machines that create a lot of carbon dioxide. Each small change in our life will have an effect on the earth.

cool cities
Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been some problems associated with economic development like: rises in population, increased energy consumption, traffic delays and increases in carbon dioxide emitted into the air. If we don’t solve these problems we will need another earth to replace our own. By one half (50%) we will have to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the air to live within the capacity of a single earth.
In Japan during the last 30 years GDP (Gross Domestic Product) has gone up 100 percent while energy efficiency has increased 37 percent and oil consumption has decrease 8 percent. About 90 percent of carbon dioxide emitted into the air comes from building and transportation. Cool City was built by SDCJ and also they are from Japan. There are three types of transportation that will be used in Cool City like hybrid cars, water taxis and light railway. Business, commercial/ cultural and residential are the various zones in the city. There are some techniques that will reduce heat by water, trees and roof membranes. 60% is the overall percentage of reduction of CO2 emissions claimed in the video.
In my opinion, cool city is a great city because it is an environmental city. In addition the city takes care about our planet by lots of things such as tree planting ,waterways ,rooftop membranes. I hope there will be more cities in the world like cool city.
