This article is talking about the high energy consumption of UAE which is considered to be extraordinary, because it’s more than USA consumption of energy, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The article analyzed the reasons why UAE consumes so much energy and natural resources which assisted in climate changes and global warming creation. One of the main reasons of being UAE high consumer of energy is that depending UAE on oil, as it’s considered one of the oil- rich countries in the world. Therefore, UAE is taking the advantage of oil in many aspects, which help in increasing the emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Another reason is that UAE is considered a developing country that most of its infrastructure still in process for instance; Dubai’s audacious development in prosperity and construction which make the matter of global warming worse, plus UAE is a multicultural country which consist of more than 180 nationalities that exacerbate the task of global warming resistance. Another noticeable reason of running high energy consumption is that UAE is rich country, and a good life requires huge air-conditioned malls, houses and cars. Moreover, Dubai’s airport is ranking one of the busiest airports in the world. And we all know how aviation contributes in global warming. In conclusion, UAE is required to cut the emissions of carbon dioxide, as the WWF has asked the Emirates government to cut energy use and move toward renewable energy such as solar power viable in one of the world's sunniest climates, because it’s a global phenomenon and each country plays an effective role.
