Inconvenient Truth

When I heard we were going to watch a documentary I thought it was going to be boring and long but I was defiantly wrong. An Inconvenient Truth is about Al Gore and his research on global warming. It is a very intense and very “put it in your face” kind of movie. He really tells us that if we don’t start changing our ways we will not have a world to live on. The world has already started to change due to global warming from the polar bears drowning because the ice caps are melting to the increase hole in the ozone layer to the droughts to the floods. Mother Nature is telling us to stop what we are doing or even worse things are going to happen. If we don’t change things this will have a huge effect on not how we live but how our children live and their children live. He really told us that the time to change is now. He showed charts about China and how they are trying to stop this global warming and showed all these different ways we could at least slow down this aspect of global warming. One being lets use wind power instead of burning fossil fuel. Fossil fuel release green house gasses into the atmosphere that makes the hole in our ozone layer even bigger. This then makes it thicker and makes the green house gasses that use to be able to diminish in the atmosphere come back and be reflected back onto earth. When this effect happens the core of our earth hearts up. When an increase of 1 degree at the equator happens it makes an effect at the arctic of seven degrees. So what we think isn’t a big deal at the equator is actually a huge deal in the poles. With wind power we wouldn’t be releasing those toxic fumes into the atmosphere and would be able to control the temperature. We know what we need to do to stop this but we aren’t. Ale Gore in the Inconvenient Truth shows us all these stats and really shows how bad we are treating the environment. All these other countries are trying to do their best in trying to prevent pollution as much as  possible and it seems us Americans feel like we cannot be touched. We really need to look at what we are doing and try to find away to stop these entire greenhouse gasses. What are these green house gasses? They are carbon dioxide, methane and all the material that gets stuck up into the atmosphere that makes an impression on the temperature. Ale Gore is very passionate about global warming and made predictions on what has happen to what will happen if we keep it up. We have used more than double our natural resources in the past 50 years than we have in the past 500 years. This documentary has really shown me that America in general needs to own up for what we have done and try to fix it. Because in the end we are only hurting ourselves and we will end up paying for it.
