Problems and solutions of global warming.
The world economy has changed a lot over the past 10 years. Everything has changed; more dangerous energies are used such as, gas, oil, and electricity nowadays which cause a harmful affect on the environment and cause many problems. Two of these problems are pollution and global warming that have a really dangerous effect on earth. First of all I will outline some problems that cause pollution in more detail which will also cause the percentage of global warming to increase.
The main problem is that many people are not aware of global warming and what will happen to the earth in the near future, so they keep using things that are unnecessary to use, like, for example, they are producing the same item but in a different brand just to show which of the items are the best and they forgot the negative affect that they cause to the environment. Another problem is the carbon dioxide from power plants “In 2002 about 40% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions stem from the burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of electricity generation. Coal accounts for 93 percent of the emissions from the electric utility industry.”(http://www.ecobridge.org/content/g_cse.htm).
Moreover the radiation which is stacked inside the atmosphere causes the earth to warm up and causes global warming.
However there are lots of solutions for these kinds of problem that I am going to outline, and one of the major solutions is to make new laws for those who will harm the environment. Each person should have only a certain amount that he can use during the year. In addition to make cities aware of the problem like what California did “In 2006, California passed two groundbreaking laws to reduce California's emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping pollution” (http://www.solutionsforglobalwarming.org/1calpolicy.html ).
Another final solution is to stop cutting trees for crafting, making paper and try to look for a different source, although it is hard to replace the paper with another thing, but at least try. As David G. Bancroft said “All one can do is try every single day, regardless of the test, to live the truth, not to lie. Knowing this earthly stay is a short lived quest to the one most high, resisting to be led astray into evil’s fiery nest like those who defy and continue to betray, including angels once blessed”.

Cool City.
According to Cool City video, the economy these days is different from the last 20 years; everything is changed; it has developed in an enormous way and made some negative effects on the environment such as pollution, car traffic, an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide being emitted into the air, and an increase of population. However if these problems are not solved on time, we will have to find and replace our earth with another planet. As we can see from the graph that shows on Cool City video, 90% of carbon dioxide is coming from buildings and transport. The SDCJ is several companies that came together and they are trying to make a project, an environmentally friendly and green city which is called Cool City. Moreover transportation will be different from a normal city; there will be light rail transit, solar water ship, and hybrid cars. Cool City will be using natural energy like the sun’s energy, wind, and water. But nothing is impossible with technology. In my opinion, it will take time to build Cool City with lots of technology, and maybe a new source of energy will be discovered while they are building Cool City, and it will cost billions of dollars and still the carbon dioxide won’t fade away; it will just reduce it, so no point in building the City.
