“An Inconvenient Truth”


In the past few years, the world witnessed many climate emergencies that affected the whole planet and caused many catastrophes. One of the major causes of these disasters is the global warming which is in fact one of the main issues that is not acknowledged by most of people. Al Gore, former United States Vice President, steps forward to make an effort to educate the community about the incoming disaster that will have effect in every individual life in the whole planet.

“An Inconvenient Truth” focuses on Al Gore and his movements in support of his efforts to inform the public about the harshness of the climate crisis. This movie records a multimedia presentation hosted by Al Gore in which he argues the scientific facts behind global warming, clarifies how it has already begun affecting our environment, and shares what each individual can do to help protect the Earth for us and future generations. Al Gore weaves this documentary after the major changes that happened during his lifetime including his college education with his colleague Revelle at Harvard University, the death of his sister which was caused by lung cancer, and his young son car accident. In the slide show Gore analyze the scientific opinion on climate change and describes the consequences. The documentary ends with Gore arguing that if suitable actions are taken soon, the effects of global warming can be successfully inverted by releasing less CO2 and planting more plants to consume existing CO2. Gore calls upon his audience to learn how they can help him in these efforts.
