Who Should Take Action? !!


After reading the article which is written by Johann Hari in the site below:
http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/johann-hari/johann-hari-well-save-the-planet-only-if-were-forced-to-784893.html
I understood that Hari wants from his article to show for people some important points about the global warming. These points including:
  1. Every one from now should stop pollute the earth and start the be aware about what s/he is doing for the planet in order to reduce te effects of global warming. It is the time of the truth, is every one truly check every item s/he takes and look if it is green and plant-freindly?
  2. The actions of some people towards the solving of global warming are too small compared to the big effects of global warming.
  3. He mentioned that the environment of the planet has been changed 10,000 years ago in when it was impossible to develop agriculture. In those days, the situation is called by climatic chaos, but after that the situations are settled down and so the way of living. In this period, the situation is called by Holocene in which people for the first time could develop farming and cities. Nowadays, this period is ended by pumping the greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and a new period comes when the humans make the weather of the planet; this is called by the Anthropocene.
  4. He said that there are large group of people who really are aware of the global warming and they always did things that reduce the global warming effects such as the changing the lightbulbs and turning down the thermostats. But in the other hand, although they are essential parts of solutions, it is not even the beginning of a solution.
  5. Hari said that every one should pressure the government to let all people required by law to burn fewer greenhouse gases.
  6. While every one who is a green-freindly buys products which are good for the global warming and reduce the effects of this problem, it is more useful to be a volunteer for greenpeace rather than use your time for your personal greener choices. In addition, people can share their issues about the global warming during the Green campaigns.

In my point of view, I agree with those points because they are realstic for every one who share this planet with others. Even if there are many people who think about the global warming as a big issue, there are still some people who should be forced by the green-laws that should be applied. In order to let Abu Dhabi to become a cool city, those laws will let more people to move more steps towards the solving of global warming in UAE. Abu Dhabi's government should put laws for people who burn more greenhouse gases, who pollute the envirnment with waste poducts, and even for those who pollute the planet with noise.
