Greenhouse effect

Turning to a specific cause of global warming which are the greenhouse gases that can make the atmosphere heats the earth when gases reflect toward earth. A natural greenhouse effect is created by the greenhouse gases. Joseph Fourier discovered the greenhouse effect in 1824. Without the increase in greenhouse gases temperatures on Earth would be an estimated 30 °C (54 °F) lower than what it is recently. Water vapor is one of the important greenhouse gases which causes about 36–70% of the greenhouse effect. Recently the concentration of CO2 in the atmospheric is about 383 parts per million and it is expected to rise in the future.

Causes

Nowadays the earth is facing a really important issue. Global warming is threatening human beings lives. There are many reasons for the global warming and I’m going to mention some of them now.

The first cause for the global warming is that the increase in Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and its famous gas “carbon dioxide”. There are many sources which produce carbon dioxide such as Power Plants, Cars, Trucks, Airplanes and Buildings structure. While carbon dioxide is the principal greenhouse gas, methane is second most important cause. CO2 which go into the atmosphere causes an increase in the atmosphere and the earth's surface heat. Another reason is that the increase Solar variation which made the earth warmer from 10 to 30% of the global surface temperature warming over the period 1980-2002.

What is Global Warming ?

In general the world is facing a lot of problems and actually we are not going to define each problem, but we have to define the important ones such as global warming. Global warming is the increase in the earth temperature. It is caused by the released gases that makes the earth atmosphere keeps the heat which come from the sun. This heat is gradually increased during the past century. Due to the observed increase in greenhouse gas concentrations which can lead the earth to be a warmer place. Burning fossil fuel is a major cause whereas car smokes and other pollution sources which are also important causes for that phenomena. In my opinion I think that global warming is a really important issue and it’s a warning for us to act positively toward our world.

My Profile

My name is Khalifa Ateeq Al Mazrouei. I was born in 1987. First I lived in Al Merfa. It is a village near Liwa oasis with it's green trees and blue fresh oasis water. By the age of ten, our family went to live in Abu Dhabi. After that I started to get used to living downtown. When I got used to the life in Abu Dhabi I started to join social events like horse riding, traditional dhow racing and other several types of social and traditional activities.

I’m the last in terms of birth order; I'm the youngest one in our family. In the past we used to be a big family because we lived with our grandparents, whereas nowadays we are a small family.

I have many interests in my free time such as, playing football, car racing, body building, surfing the net, swimming in swimming pools and reading interesting articles.


Nowadays, I’m a student in the Higher Colleges of Technology as a business student. I have such nice friends and colleagues. I’m intending to complete at least a Masters Degree in accounting and I’m going to take the CBA, the professional certificate in accounting.
