cool cities, coolant of earth

One of the main issues in this century is global warming, this is an important issue and the reason behind that is, because our life now and the next generation depend on it. Global warming is the increase of the atmosphere’s temperature. Its increase is due to two separate issues; greenhouse effect and climate change. Greenhouse effect, this warms the temperature of the atmosphere, its effect is extremely beneficial. Climate change is another example of global warming, research suggests that temperature may increase by between 1.4 to 5.8C by the year 2100. This may be caused by human producing large amount of greenhouse gasses. But our government have to start preparing for climate changes to protect the next generation, because global warming is a serious issue. But as we all know our government already thought of that and started the project “Masdar” which is the world’s first zero-carbon, zero-waste city fully powered by renewable energy. Construction of Masdar City has now officially commenced with a formal ground-breaking ceremony on February 9, 2008. The City will be constructed over seven phases and is due to be completed by 2016. Masdar’s control center is part of phase one and will be completed by the end of 2010. This is something that we should appreciate because as I said earlier that global warming is a serious issue and our government is working on it now and thinking of our future so lets help them in any way we can so that we can have a good life now and a better future for us and the next generation.
