1-      1-The reasons for the global warming:

Ali said there are two main reasons of the global warming which are humans’ activities and natural reasons. Mohammed and Abdulla agreed with Ali, but the chairman said we will not discuss about the natural reasons because we cannot find a solution for them. Abdulla said one of the human activities is that humans use cars, airplanes, and trains for transportation. And this transportation causes the CO2 in the air which causes the global warming.  

2- The consequences of the global warming

·            The chairman Mohammed said let us turn our attention to the consequences. Ali said “the high temperature leads to the spread of pests and diseases that the insects transmit such as malaria.” Abdulla pointed out that the high temperature causes melting of the massive glaciers that raises the sea level, so it’s very dangerous for people who are living on the islands and near the coast. The chairman Mohammed agreed with the two consequences and he said let us move to the most important part with is the solution.

3-    3-Making the people aware of the global warming

·          Abdulla asked if we can make aware all the people around the world about the danger of the climate change. Ali pointed out that it’s difficult to raise the awareness of all the people because some regions don’t have enough means of communications. The chairman said if we make aware as many people as we can, that would be enough to reduce the dangers of the global warming. Ali said the best way to make aware many people is by T.V or Internet because it’s common between the people. Abdulla and Mohamed agreed with this solution.

4-       4-Using other fuels instead of petrol and diesel.

·         Abdulla suggested using other sources of power that have not bad effects in the environment such as solar power, wind energy and water energy. Mohammed and Ali didn’t agree with Abdulla because it’s not very viable because it’s not practical and the oil is very cheap.

5-      5- Using public transport.

·         The chairman said let’s see another solution that’s workable. Ali suggested using public transportation to reduce the use of the cars. For example, metro, public buses and electric trains.

The chairman Mohamed said that these are good solutions to reduce the pollution which is an effect of global warming, and he said we should list the output of the meeting.

·                  In conclusion we thought that:

1-      Global warming is a very dangerous phenomenon in the world.

2-      Making the people aware is a good idea to make them deal with this phenomenon.

3-      Using other fuels is not a viable solution.

4-      We liked the idea of using public transportation.
