An Inconvenient Truth


During the last week, I watched the film which was about the global warming. The title of the film is "An Inconvenient Truth". The film was presented by former United States Vice President Al Gore and directed by Davis Guggenheim. I think that the film was very interesting because it talks about one of the important issue in our life which is the global warming. Some people aren't aware of it because they think it won't happen in the future. However, there is a lot of evidence which demonstrate that it will happen in the future. The film could encourage people to make changes to have a positive environmental impact.

What is Global Warming?



Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans. For example, glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. Humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives.

There is a lot of evidence of global warming. One of them is that the methane is increasing. Another evidence of global warming is that carbon dioxide is also increasing in the atmosphere. The last evidence is melting Arctic Sea Ice. The Antarctic has seen an increase in average temperatures of almost 5 degrees Fahrenheit in the last 50 years.

About myself

My name is Abdulrahman Ahmed. I'm 19 years old. I'm living in Abu Dhabi. I'm studying at HCT. My major is IT-Business.

I was studying at the Petroleum Institute. I left the PI because it is very difficult for me and their roles are not flexible so I left the PI and now I'm studying at HCT and I'm very happy to study here. Actually, it was very difficult to join HCT so I was thinking to study later and I didn't know where and when. So I worked with HSBC bank. I was working there for three months. After that I had a call that I had been accepted at HCT. So I decided to work on Saturday at HSBC and study at HCT on regular days.

Now, I'm in my second semester. My GPA is 3.00 and I hope to increase it. This is some information about me.
