Global warming & UAE

I was interested in how global warming relates to my country so I did some research. In the first article I found at http://library.hct.ac.ae/screens/wam.html i read that this Earth Day, Abu Dhabi schools, with the help of the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) may be making one of the biggest environmental statements the UAE has ever seen, when it comes to Climate Change. To express their commitment to tackling Climate Change at the local level and to save energy, 20 Government and Private Abu Dhabi schools will be switching off the electrical power for 1 hour on that day throughout the school, excluding the administrate offices. In the second article Abu Dhabi and Tokyo shared the view that the international community as a whole - not only industrial countries but also energy supplying countries - should advance a strategy to manage the current global warming trend. In this context, , the Japanese side expressed its intention to promote its cooperation at both government and private levels to formulate appropriate provisions against the global warming.
