An Inconvenient Truth is a fascinating documentary about global warming by director Davis Guggenheim. The film is based on a multimedia presentation that gave Al Gore in over a thousand cities around the world in recent years and presents a disturbing picture of the destruction that is causing global warming and horrible future that awaits us if this problem is not addressed soon.
Gore presents a graph demonstrating a connection between CO2 levels and temperature during 600.000 years based on samples of polar ice profundos.1 In that time period CO2 levels have ranged between 180 and 280 parts per million ( ppm). The level today is about 400 ppm, well above what has been seen in more than half a million years. Gore said that that level will …show more content…
In the region of Niger, millions suffer from malnutrition and many children die daily. In Darfur it is being committed a horrible genocide. The causes of genocide and starvation are complex, but one important factor is the changes caused global warming. Lake Chad, which was the sixth in the world, today is a twentieth of what it was and the rest is covered by sand dunes. That has led to the destruction of fisheries, the scarcity of water for irrigation, crop failure and displacement of millions from …show more content…
Plus it is immoral that a small percentage of the population consume such a large amount of the world 's resources cannot sustain from an ecological point of view.
At the beginning of the film, Gore says dealing with global warming is a moral imperative. It tells us to think what we will tell our children when they inherit a desolate planet. An Inconvenient Truth raises the alarm about global warming, but the solutions proposed do not meet the moral imperative of what is needed to deal with the problem. If the solution is left to level the political program proposed by Gore in the film, the consequences for the environment and for the world 's population will be dire.
Carbon dioxide or CO2 is the main greenhouse gas that traps the Sun 's heat in the atmosphere and contributes to global warming. CO2 levels in the atmosphere increase as fossil fuels, oil and natural gas are burned, when burned or cut down forests, and when cement is
