"An Inconvenient Truth"- Al Gore

"An Inconvenient Truth" is a film that portrays the presentations that Al Gore has


been doing not only in America but too in Europe, Asia and South America,
presenting scientific data about global warming in such a way clear, rigorous and
motivating.

This movie makes Al Gore the transmitter of a message that many people refuse even
to hear and understand. Al Gore, by citing Upton Sinclair argues that it isn't possible to
make someone understand something when his salary depends on the fact do not
understand that.

During his government, Al Gore supported environmental policies. And since losing the
presidential elections of 2000 to George W. Bush, Al Gore is committed to fighting for
the environment.

Al Gore's criticizing the Bush administration in relation to the refusal to sign (like


Australia) of the Kyoto treaty on the limitation of emissions of greenhouse gases.
However, many U.S. cities are trying to reduce the level of pollution they cause.
The tone of hope is reinforced by the comment of former president: "In America,
political will is a renewable resource."

Al Gore begins his presentation by explaining the greenhouse effect created by


emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), leading to the increase of atmospheric
temperature, leading to melting glaciers,, changing currents, the rise in level average
water, resulting increasing and worsening storms.

Al Gore too breaks the false myth of mutual exclusivity between economic efficiency
and preservation of the planet. For example, manufacturers of American cars are
currently losing money, since the fact that their cars do not respect environmental
standards that can hardly be sold in other countries, including China. The refusal to
associate certain human behaviors / clear the economic impact is related to
environmental checks which many experts receive from big oil.

The truth is inconvenient, especially the "great Lords". But in the graphic simulation of
the effects of melt half of Greenland, submerging much of the coast area of several
continents ( including Shanghai, Calcutta, Manhattan), we realized that movies like
"The Day After Tomorrow" are not purely fictional, especially when one considers the
high concentration of population in these areas.

"An Inconvenient Truth" deserves to be seen as a scientific argument, political and


moral for the world, especially the United States changes its attitude in the fight against
global warming. The Al Gore's message is urgent but not alarmist, with hope but
without complacency. I hope - sincerely - that movies like this help to combat the lack
of population information. "An Inconvenient Truth" may not be the most entertaining
film ever or the most exciting, but it is undoubtedly one of the most important.
