Summary of An inconvenient truth & Reaction


Summary of An inconvenient truth
Al Gore, who was the next president of the United States of America, presented a very important problem in our life which is a global warming. He started thinking in the global warming issue when he was a college student. He believed and adopted the idea. According to that, he worked on this issue very hard by collecting the necessarily information form documented sources. Also, he traveled to several countries to meet some scientists in order to understand the problem very deeply. After he found and collected the important data, he went to different citied to present the slideshow to people, families, and students. Al Gore was very fazed. Because when he showed the issue to the Congress there was no answer about the problem. Although he did not find any answer, he did not give up. But he tried to understand the global warring more clearly. He believed that the global warring is a moral issue not a political issue.
Global warring happens when the earth keeps a lot of the infrared waves which make the earth so warm. This is occurring because the global warming pollution makes the atmosphere so thick. Al Gore illustrated the relationship between the carbon dioxide (CO2) and the temperature. When there is a lot of CO2 in the weather the temperature increases because it traps more heat from the sun. Moreover, when the oceans get warmer, the stronger storms are happened.
There are many impacts of the global warming in the real world. For example, the snows of the Kilimanjaro are melted, within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro. In the Himalayas there is a problem since 40% of all the people in the world get their drinking water from rivers and spring system that are fed more than half by the melt water coming off the glaciers.
There are many bad effects of the global warming. For instance, new diseases like SARS are appeared. Also, some old diseases which were under control are come again. Other effects are flooding, drought, hurricanes, strong storm, and shortage of water.
AL Gore tried to explain to us what we have to do in order to decrease the impacts of the global warring in out life. If we use the electricity, passenger vehicles, transports, renewable technology, and carbon capture and sequestration more efficiency, we can reduce the global warming pollution. Furthermore, he clarified that each one of us is cause of the global warming and each of us has the choice to change that. Also, he mentioned important point that we can make choice to bring an individual carbon emission to zero.



Reaction
I think what Al Gore did is such a great thing. He did his best for many years to bring the truth for us. I appreciate his work and efforts.
Before I see this movie, I was thinking that I know about the global warming. But now I can see what is happening around us very clearly. I learned more things about this issue, like what is the global warming, the effects of it in the real world like melting the snow, spread and appears many diseases, shortage in the drinking water. Moreover, I know what I have to do to reduce the effects of the global warming in our life. It is not about me or you, it is about the whole world. Most of us know that the third world ware is goinig to be about water, so what is our duty in order to prevent that. We have to tell our family, friends about the real dangers since we live in the earth. Finally, I agree with AL Gore it is a morel issue.
