Global Warming

The world is facing a new problem in the 21st century, a problem that cannot be encountered nor solved unless the countries worldwide come together and find a solution. This problem is called global warming, where the earth’s temperature is increasing dramatically due to the actions of human beings. This heat is caused by excess gas emissions into the atmosphere produced by the combustion of fuels and other processes.

Most countries worldwide are turning industrial, mainly because that is the best way to gain the highest amount of income. Industry needs a high amount of energy so it can succeed, and the easiest/cheapest way to gain that energy is to burn fuels. When these fuels are burnt, gas emissions get stuck in the atmosphere and affect the greenhouse process, where the heat gets trapped in the atmosphere instead of it being reflected away from the earth.

Current solutions are constructed by many organizations to stop global warming from increasing, including, new sources of energy and implementing laws that limit the use of fuels. Unfortunately, those rules will not work unless countries come together.

About Me

My name is Mohamed Osama Al Mahmoud, a UAE national. I was born on the 23rd of February 1987. I graduated from the American International School in Abu Dhabi in the year 2004. Following that I joined the Petroleum Institute, and then transferred to the Higher Colleges of Technology to study Civil Engineering.

Many people consider me a social person who likes to debate about anything, basically because I am a person who likes to learn from others and spend a lot of time reading about other majors and sectors in life. I enjoy learning about politics the most and I have once participated as a Model United Nation candidate during high school.

My normal days are spent with friends sitting in coffee shops or playing group sports like soccer, volleyball. On the weekends my friends and I like to spend time away from our city, Abu Dhabi, and go to Dubai, or sometimes to the desert and spend the time on motor bikes and desert duning.
