An Inconvenient Truth

Present by Al Gore, he who used to be the next president of the United States of America, and directed by Davis Guggenheim.
This film is an American Academy Award-winning documentary film about global warming.

“You look at that river gently flowing by. You notice the leaves rustling with the wind. You hear the birds; you hear the tree frogs. In the distance you hear a cow. You feel the grass. The mud gives a little bit on the river bank. Its quiet it’s peaceful. And all of a sudden, it’s a gear shift inside you. And it’s like making a deep breath and going… “Oh yeah, I forget about this”.
This is Al Gore in the opening monologue of an incontinent truth.

An inconvenient Truth focuses on Al Gore and when he travels with a lot support of his efforts to try to educate the public about the severity of the climate crisis. Gore says “I’ve been trying to tell this story for a long time and I feel as I’ve failed to get the message across”. Al Gore uses power point to show the climate change and its potential for disaster with Gore’s life story.
Al Gore reviews in the slide show the scientific opinion on climate change, and he discusses the politics and economics of global warming, and he describes the scaring consequences he believes global climate change will produce if the mount of human-generated greenhouse gases is not significant reduced in the very year future.

In this film they include many segments intended to refute all the critics who say that global warming is unproven or that warming will be insignificant.

Like Al Gore talks about the possibility of the collapse of a major ice sheet in Greenland or in West Antarctica, what consequences it will have.

This film ends with Al Gore arguing that we have to take some actions soon, and the effects of global warming can be successfully reserved by releasing less co2, which is what we have to do. Because if we don’t they earth will pay the price!
