An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore

The atmosphere is thin making it the vulnerable part of the earth. When it's thin enough it's able to change the composition; however the thin layer is now being thickened by pollution and therefore heating it up causing an enormous amount of global warming. Glaciers everyday is being broken of. Al Gore says that forty percent of the people on earth will face a shortage of water, and even the ice has stories to tell us like the warming of two ice ages. This is how the temperature of the earth works, the more carbon dioxide the warmer the temperature will get and thus trapping more heat from the sun. Carbon dioxide is now way above the 300 parts per million, and in the next fifty years and even less carbon dioxide will continue to go up. Gore says, “It is deeply unethical'' if we allow this to continue. In the year of 2005 it was the hottest in temperature including the oceans, thus the oceans got warmer resulting in stronger storms. Hurricane Katrina went to the warmer waters- as the temperature in the water increases so too the wind velocity increases thus resulting in stronger hurricanes. Global warming also causes droughts not just floods, and when the temperature raises soil evaporation rises too. Arctic is experiencing faster impacts on global warming and in the next fifty to seventy years the frozen ice will be completely gone from the North Pole to Arctic Ocean we are getting a faster heat up. Since we are experiencing changes in patterns is therefore affecting our seasons and the ecological niches are being affected by global warming too. We have new diseases emerging since the last quarter century. Antarctica has the largest mass of ice if it breaks it is an alarm sign for global warming and now it has been broken little by little in the last 15-20 years. The ice shelves by January 31, 2002 scientist saw it completely disappear. Land based ice is starting to fall in water by melting. In Green land pools are being formed. Scientist thought if the ice sinks in the water it will make the water into ice, but they were wrong because it only went tunneling deep down. Humans have to respond to warnings that are being affected by global warming says Al Gore. Three factors that are causing the collision with the earth: 1) population is putting more pressure on earth. 2) New technologies with old habits have a big consequence on our environment. 3) People are capable of sitting and not responding until danger occurs and that is not good at all. If we use efficiency technology it will add up and we would be below. Al Gore's last remarks are that we have to act together to solve the problem. We did great things before like solved the hole in the ozone layer, put down the communist, and many others. Gore says this is a "Moral issue-rise again to secure our future." I enjoyed this film very much and i would recommend those who are unaware of global warming should watch this scientific film and let others do the same. Let us bring change to the world.
