* Introduction *

The topic that I choose to discuss as a main topic is environmental problems such as global warming & air pollution. Biosphere is one of the environment layers where all the living and non-living interact, as long as it helps them to produce and reproduce. Biosphere is one of the important layers on the Earth surface. The ecosystem includes biotic and a-biotic organisms, as humans we are classified as biotic.

The season behind selecting this topic is because many of the environmental issues have become a problem to the globe. In fact most of the differences within the changes in the past and now are that it happens much faster. Therefore, the people all around the world should take an interested on the environment.
The research paper will present these environmental problems in more details. At the beginning I will present a definition of booth Air pollution and Global warming. Then I'll include some of the causes and effects relevant to this problem. Finally I will acknowledge the readers with some important facts. Furthermore the research will offer some possible solutions.


For all of polar bears love or any animal lover, come and join me throw some surprising out finding and learn more of what will happen for you or your animals in the near future.

"My Debatable Statement"

"Air Pollution and Global warming are becoming environmental problems because of human made activities"

Why we write a survey??

Many people write a survey to include different information, so they can use it in their research paper and make it more reliable. The other thing is that the person who uses a survey in this paper can test the people awareness. The researcher also can see if the issue that he chooses to talk about is understood by the different gander and level of people. I wanted to include numbers facts to make my paper more useful and reliable.

Methodology

While finding and gathering information from different data bases, we have the option of using diverse methods that contain good and reliable information. The different methods include literature reading such as newspaper, magazine, journals, books, websites and reports. The other technique that can be used for instance a survey, observation or interview. Booth survey and interview involve us to present a sheet of main questions.

I'm preparation question for my interview. In this interview I'm planning to ask my teacher from COL-260 the (environmental science) class. I believe that I will be able to find significant information that will be useful for my research.
I might do a survey, I will be targeting the UAE students her in the university and see their level of awareness to the global issues that we live in. the survey will mainly be multiple choice questions.

The interview questions:-
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself?
• What's your name?
• Where are you from?
• What do you do/ what is your job?
• How long have you been teaching?
• What do you mostly enjoy doing?
2. Defined environmental problems?
3. Can we include air pollution & claimant change as human made problems?
4. Tell us about the recent event that can be related to claimant change?
5. Has the UAE been affected by the claimant change or the air pollution?

Primary data plans

The first thing I had to do is understand the col-240 and what we were required to do, after that I choice a topic for my research. It's about the (Environmental Problems) especially (Global Warming and Air Pollution). These topics interest me because it relates to all human in all over the world since we share the same concern. Then I started my research based on the topics I choice earlier, using the Academic Research Library as a reliable resources for my research paper as a first step.

The second thing that I might consider doing is a survey. In the survey I might ask (10 to 50) people to do the survey. I might also ask the students at ZU University as locals and relate this information to the UAE somehow. The survey will definitely include question about (Environmental Problems), and try to observe the students awareness of the dramatic problem. The survey will help me to understand more about the problem.

The third thing that I will do is interviewing my teacher. She teaches Environmental sciences, I believe she has a lot of information without doubt will help me with my research.

The resources that I found are useful to be used as a reference for my research I believe. I found this article after searching the Academic Research Library for reliable resources for my paper.
These articles are useful in my opinion because it included the information that I need. It was also prepared by Ecology, Environment & Conservation Business editors from staff and other reports.

"We Can't Wish Away Climate Change"

"We Can't Wish Away Climate Change"

The article is written by Al Gore from the New York Times US news paper. He talked about the Climate change and the fact that we have to deal with this crisis as a national security. Nowadays there is an enlarge trend toward the industry of oil which help increasing the economic risk as he indicated.
According to Al Gore "Global warming is difficult to identify and interpret in any particular location. For example, January was seen as unusually cold in much of the United States. Yet from a global perspective, it was the second-hottest January since surface temperatures were first measured 130 years ago."
The article shows more important and significant information about my research topic that I feel is good to use in my article as a resource.
