Research Questions
Primary
research Questions:
Have you
heard of Global Warming?
Subtopic
Questions:
To what
extent are you impressed with the problem of Global Warming?
Do you
think Global Warming will change the topography of the planet?
Are
you interested in knowing the effects of the Global Warming?
Section 2 – Background Report Summary
This
background report describes global warming and climate change which affect
health and weather. Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual
increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a
change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. Firstly
I will look at the causes of global warming and describe it to know how we can
avoid it. Also I will look at effects and describe them.
First of
all, there are many causes of global warming and one of these causes is human
activities by clearing forests that releases large amounts of carbon
dioxide. Worldwide deforestation means we don’t have as many trees to absorb
the extra carbon dioxide. This means more of it stays in the atmosphere,
trapping more heat. Also greenhouse gases: when we extract and burn fossil
fuels such as coal or petroleum, we cause the release of carbon dioxide
and other heat-trapping “greenhouse
gases” into the atmosphere.
However
there are many effects of global warming. Global warming can affect the weather
and create more storms. Global warming also affects temperature and the average
of the temperature increases and that makes cold winters and hot summers.

Questionnaire Results
It’s so
important to know how the people care about Global Warming, but after we saw
the results of the survey and we compared it with the number of the people who
answered the survey questions it seems like people have a good awareness about
the Global Warming problem.
In the
first section, we asked them scientific questions about global warming
then we did a second indirect section; we asked them their opinions and if
they’re interested to know more information.
The
questions started with “Have you heard about global warming?” 25 people
answered the question directly with yes. “To what extent are you impressed with
the problem of Global Warming?” 10% answered with good and weak, 80% answered
with average. “Do you think Global Warming will change the topography of the
planet?” 10% answered with no and the other 90% answered with yes. “Do you
expect increased flooding as a result of Global Warming?” 88% of them choose
yes, 12% choose no. 96% of the people are interested to know about the effects
of the Global Warming and 4% are not. “Do you think Global Warming will affect
our health?” 80% think that it will affect and 20% answered with no. Also 96% have
plans to avoid Global Warming and 4% don’t have any.

Discussion
As the
result of the survey questionnaire that was distributed to 25 students
attending Abu Dhabi Men’s College, we noticed that many students have
good awareness about the global warming and how it can affect the world badly,
and some students have good solutions for this problem that can help the world.
However, there is still a big number of students who want to know more about
the results that global warming can cause to earth. We have to make more
lectures for different ages of people to let them know exactly what it is and
what can do to earth if we did not care about this issue. Gladly, those people
would like to know about the problem and its effects on the world.
Finally,
people should know how badly the global warming affect the earth and be wises
when it comes to the solutions; also they need to work to save earth from any
danger so they live peacefully.
