The TDIC Development


Angsana Resorts & Spa Eastern Mangroves


The most interesting TDIC Development for me is Angsana Resorts & Spa Eastern Mangroves. It is an eco-retreat designed to reflect the natural environment and offer an escape from the city’s urban sprawl set in a prime position within a protected mangrove environment. The Angsana Resorts &Spa is a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation.


The facilities that are available in this kind of TDIC Development are Angsana resort with 105 rooms. There are a lot of overwater villas. Also, there will be 52 luxury 3 bedroom apartments and 92 Marina apartments.


There are a lot of features in this project such as Marina facilities, Quayside promenade, Signature spa and I interpretation Educational Center.


Although there are facilities and features in this development, there are some positive about that. First, Abu Dhabi city will the most important city for tourism. Second positive is that will make people to have fun and interesting. This development also will make people to come for relaxation every time. Another positive is that the weather will become cool instead of hot. Otherwise, there are no negatives effects for this development.


In my opinion, I see this development is very great because it shows how Abu Dhabi trying to develop. This king of TDIC Development will change the weather of Abu Dhabi’s environment in the future. Also it will make Abu Dhabi to be ‘cool city’. This development will cause any problem but will attract the people to come every day.

Cool cities


Since the start of the industrial revolution, we had faced several dangerous problem such us earth environmental issues which include raise in population, traffic delays, and increase in use of energy and these can cause to raise the carbon dioxide level on the earth. In this case, if don’t solve these problems we will need to need another earth to replace our own, but we know it’s impossible to replace it, so we have to live in one earth and decrease level of carbon dioxide by one half which is know by cool earth 50. During 30 years ago Japan has improved energy efficiency by 37 % and oil consumption has decrease 8%. Over 90% of carbon dioxide emitted into the air comes from buildings and transportation. The best solution to solve these problems was making Cool Cities.




Cool Cities are cities that build to reduce global warming renewable energy instead of fossil fuel. There are two types of network in these cities, Residential type and Urban. Cool cities also contain several different zones such as business and public zone, Resident zone, culture and sports zone. Also it contains resort, solar powered plant forms zones. In these cities there are also some zones that are contain office, hotels and hospitals.

Climate Change and Global Warming



Most scientists believe that climate change is here and is human-induced, and that it will lead to more extreme weather patterns such as hurricanes and drought. Global warming means that the earth's overall air temp is rising. The one-two punch of carbon dioxide emissions and deforestation alter the global atmosphere. This is mainly from car exhaust, power plants and building emissions. When the earth's air temp rises even a few degrees, entire weather patterns change and get really extreme. This is already evident in the fierceness of hurricanes from Indonesia to New York City.

My opinion about An Inconvenient Truth movie

In my opinion about this movie, it is a scientific because it was talking about the environment and global warming. I think the government should regulate emissions into our environment that because to be clean from any pollution and to be healthy to make people to live in a beautiful environment.

An Inconvenient Truth Summary


An Inconvenient Truth film was talking about the problems that effected on an environment and how effected on human health. Also it was mention many causes of global warming. The director who was talking about global warming on this movie is Philip Davis Guggenheim, who is a director and producer in 1964. So, the tone in the first scene was nature and the mood of AlGore setting was clam and comfortable. In the beginning he was portraring the environment such as green trees and the rivers, like it are very nice and it’s beautiful. Davis Guggenheim had talked about Algore, who is an American politician, teacher, businessman and environmentalist. Also he was the 45th Vice President of the United States in the Clinton administration from 1993 to 2001. Guggenheim was explaining Mark Twain’s quote that says “what gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know; it’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so. This means that is the earth so big and people use to think on way of another assumption about global warming. The place of the vast majority of the land mass and vegetation on earth was on the north of the quarter. The glaciers that were around the world were melting. Guggenheim said “there are 40% of people on earth get their drinking water from the rivers and from the glaciers of the hemmed. Then, the people will see in the ice after the US congress passed the Clean Air Act is the year that it has been done by the bubbles. However, Davis was compared between the two graphs of temperature in the Northern Hemisphere and Co2 concentrations it showed the closely fit together and warm. There are some consequences of the ocean temperature rising such as causes stronger storms and hurricane; rising sea level and ice melting end. The buildings and roads that were built on permafrost were falling down and the building collapsed. The Great Lakes were formed when the ice is melted. Gor had mentions some of the changes in ecological niches such as their dying, extinct bark battle and SARS. Also he described green land was melting. So he warns us about rise sea level. After that, he said “the ice that in Antarctic was melting. There are three factors contributed to the collision between our civilization and the earth such as the population, the new technological revelation and our ways o thinking. So, consequence of the growing population on earth is the demand of water and increases a using it up. We can help our economy grow and help the environment at the same time by using renewable resource. Finally, the mean of An Inconvenient Truth is that the truth will upset the people when they hear it about their environment.

Introduction to Global Warming


Global warming is a very and serious problem on our earth. As we know the global warming is about the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate forever. In this essay I will explain some causes of Global Warming and why its serious problem, then I will tell you my opinion about this problem.


There are many causes that cause global warming on the earth’s climate. The biggest cause of global warming is that the carbon dioxide released when fossil fuels like oil and coal are burned for energy. Another cause is an increase in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level. A third cause of global warming is that the average temperature of the Earth has risen between 0.4 and 0.8 °C over the past 100 years. Also, the increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, and other human activities, are believed to be the primary sources of the global warming that has occurred over the past 50 years. The global warming is very serious problem because it can be harmful for human’s health. Also it will cause several diseases in people’s health in the future.


In my opinion, we have to fight global warming by saving energy. There are many simple steps we can take right now to reduce global warming pollution. First we have to choose an efficient vehicle. A car that gets 20 miles per gallon will emit about 50 tons of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. A car getting 40 mpg will emit half that much. Second, drive smart. Get your engine tuned up and keep your tires inflated -- both help fuel efficiency. Third, Drive less. When possible, choose alternatives to driving (public transit, biking, walking, carpooling), and bundle your errands together so you'll make fewer trips. Third Buy energy-efficient appliances. Use your consumer power when buying appliances by shopping for energy-efficient models. Lastly, replace your light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.

AlMunthari Global Warming

AlMunthari Global Warming

Hiii everybody…

First let me introduce myself, I’m from Emirates and I live in AlBahyia city. I’m a paramedic student at Abu Dhabi Men’s College sponsored by Abu Dhabi Police Department. I finished foundation and now I’m in the first year which is called common year. I still have about two years to finish higher Diploma. I love my teachers who are teaching in the college and I respect them all. This is the first time for me to study with mix class boys and girls. They are kindly and helpful.

Now let me tell you why I chose studying paramedic. I decided to study paramedic because there are many accidents happing every day in the UAE and the people who are in the accident need paramedics to help them. Also UAE needs Emiratis people work in this job because there are a little people who work paramedic in the UAE. Also I chose to be paramedics to help the women who are don’t want men to take care them in an accident. I faced some difficulties in this program but I interest studying paramedic. In the future I hope to help my society and my country.

My purpose to write about Global warming is warning the people to save the environment by reducing cars’ smoke and factories’ smoke and other pollutions sources.
