Climate Change Review

Problem&Solution:-

Climate change has been very disastrous lately; it’s affected the world in many ways and if we are to keep avoiding it the way we are doing now without any proper action, we shall suffer, having a polluted world in the future.

As Al Gore states, the majority of the landmass and vegetation today lies above the equator; unfortunately if the world remains as it is, there won’t be much of it at all. 40% of the people today get their water from the glaciers, but glaciers nowadays are drying up day by day because more heat is absorbing the water. On the other hand, growing population on earth also affected global warming by allowing greenhouse gases to clog up the atmosphere. Population on earth can grow without any harm by avoiding any unneeded pollution, such as allowing greenhouse gasses to wonder freely affecting our atmosphere which results into global warming.

Lots of different views have been put on global warming, many of them are actually quite different and they do end up contradicting themselves. Looking at what Helen O'Hara says, we understand that Global warming is a major concern, which many of the leading industrial countries today are dealing with. Helen also supports Al Gore’s views about global warming being the main reason for today’s climate change. On the other hand, Scott does not support Al Gore’s ideas about global warming thinking they were not true. He claims that Al Gore used a dramatic approach to the problem; he saw this method as an escape and not a way to deal with today’s climate change problem.

All in all, we all need to act towards this issue immediately; because time is running out and the more we wait the more we lose.

Cool City

After watching the “Cool City” video, we understand that there has been many problems since the start of economic development, such as CO2 emissions and population pressure. If we don’t solve these problems we’ll suffer very much, we have to reduce all CO2 by atleast 50%. 

In Japan, GDP has increased by up to 100%, energy efficeny was increased by 37% and oil consumption has been decreased by 8%.90% of CO2 in the air today comes from buildings and transportation.

Cool city is a very eco-friendly city with low CO2 emissions which is going to be built by SDCJ, which is a Japanease company. The Cool City consists of three zones, which are: business, commercial and residential. The transport system which would be used in the Cool City consists of transit rail, solar water taxis and hybrid cars, there will also be used techniques to reduce heating such as waterways, rooftop membranes and tree planting.

Hopefully, if everything goes as planned the excpected CO2 reductions are 50% for eco towers and 30% for eco residences, with total CO2 reduction to be at 60%.

My opinion:-

In my honest opinion, I totally do agree that Cool City is a must-have project, it would save our planet eventually. Having a clean environment is very necessary, most of the world’s sickness today comes from pollution therefore it’s our responsibility to eliminate it.
