The Inconvenient Truth. DVD. Rodale Press, May 26, 2006.
The Inconvenient Truth is a movie by Al Gore about global warming. It discusses how global warming is a fast paced topic and a very dangerous one too. The movie follows Al Gore as he travels around the United States presenting his "traveling global warming show." He presents his audience with charts, graphs, and real pictures showing the effects of global warming. He also shows himself traveling all over the world to show how global warming will affect all kinds of things and people.
I really enjoyed this movie because it provided me with cold hard facts. It gave a lot of statistics and put everything into perspective. Some of the facts that I gained from the movie are that the 10 hottest years are in the past 14 years and the hottest one was this past year. Also this year there was an all time record of the number of typhoons in Japan. Another fact that i got was that the Artic Ice Cap has thined out 40% in the past 40 years, and in within the next century there will be no more snows at Mt. Kilamanjaro in Africa. Some more information that i recieved that i thought was very important was about how the oceans are getting warmer. The higher temperatures are causing more storms. As the water temperature increases, wind increases and mositure content increases. This not only creates more storms but more powerful and bigger storms. In India there was a recorded 37 inches of rain in 24 hours and there has been mass flooding in China. Also because of these warmer water temperatures, Hurricane Katrina's size and power was greatly increased. As the hurricane passed over the warmer water it turned in to a disasterous storm. Although the facts were really helpful and insightful, my favorite parts of the movie had to be where Al Gore talked about how there were 928 peer review articles about global warming and none of them had and doubt about global warming. This shows how true of an issue it is and how people really need to pay attention to it. My other favorite part was at the end where there was a list of easy things that everyone can do to help with global warming. Some of the suggestions were, cut back on the use of electricity, plant a tree, recycle, etc. But the best one in my point of view was to spread the word about global warming. A lot of people either don't understand global warming or are not aware of it. It is Al Gores mission to help inform people about it and I really would like to do my part to help aswell. I watched this movie with my friend and after watching she said, "I knew a little about global warming, but i didn't know it was this bad." I believe this is how most people are, they need to be informed, and i hope that it happens soon so that we can do something about it before it is too late.
