Inconvenient Truth

Inconvenient Truth presented by Mr. Al Gore a U.S environmental activist. He started the first scene illustrating the beauty of the earth. Mr. Al Gore is trying to explain the consequences of global warming. If we know there is a problem and just ignores it, As Mark Twain’s quote:”What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know, it’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so”.

In his presentation he explained about the vast majority of the land mass and vegetation on Earth. The land mass of the earth is very little of it is south of equator, the vast majority of it is north equator and most of vegetation is north of the equator. There is also another tragedy which is that the glaciers keep retreating every single year.

There are 40% of people on Earth get their drinking water from rivers and springs systems and the main source of these rivers and springs is the ice which it started to melt. They could see in the ice after the U.S Congress passed the Clean Air Act they could count back year by year and can see the annual layer from the melting and refreezing.

Mr. Al Gore compared between two graphs of temperature in the Northern Hemisphere and CO2 concentrations in the past 1000 years and it almost were closely fits together. Also, global warming is heating the ocean which leads to have stronger storms such as Katrina. Unfortunately, it destroyed building and roads because of the permafrost thaws. The hot and cold wind which is called Ocean Conveyor causes the Great Lakes to be formed.

There are three factors which Mr. Al Gore has mentioned in his presentation, first factor was the increasing in population which it puts more pressure on the earth, food , water, vulnerable natural demand. The second factor was the scientific and technology and the third factor was our way of thinking, because we have to think about the consequences of global warming before it’s too late.

We can help the economy by using more efficient appliances.

An Inconvenient Truth is a problem which forces us to change our way of living. In conclusion, the global warming is caused by the emission of CO2 which is kept between the atmosphere and the lands and causes to heat up the earth.
