An Inconvenient Truth: Summary


Al Gore, th

e host, was the vice president of the USA in the Clinton administration. He has been interested in climate change issues since grade school and has continued to take interest in this subject as a politician. In this documentary, he highlights some very important points regarding global warming in his discussion. We will take a look at some of these.

Some very important effects include illustrations of the impact of global warming. He does this by first pointing out the relationship between the amount of carbon in the atmosphere and the corresponding temperature over a 650,000 years period. For example, he indicated some pictures of the ice melted in big Mountain in Africa called Kilimanjaro. He also talked about the increase of the ocean Temperature that guided to many Hurricanes and Tornadoes. To clarify, Florida in US got a very bad hurricane in September 2004 and that called Ivan. Then he focused on the Sea levels which are rising because of the amount of ice melting in the Arctic Sea and ice shelves by 1.5 million km2 during the last forty years. For instance, Ice caps melts as the the temperature of water raise and these can destroyed the ice species. Finally, He also mentioned that many people have died in different parts of the world because of high temperatures and heat waves. For example, the temperature in India raised and about 1400 people died in 2003. The extinction rate of many species is increasing and more than 30 diseases have appeared

To sum up, Al Gore says that although the situation regarding global warming appears dire, he does speak fervently looking forward to the future with hope. His presentation concludes with parting nuggets of practical advice as to how man can play a role in curbing climate change.

Natural can be affected by a diversity of natural facts and that contain some natural disaster such as volcanic explosion, tornados, hurricanes and floods. The Global warming is chosen as center of the following because it is an extremely severe problem facing the world today. In this essay, we will take a look at some causes which have guided to global warming and also consider some effects.




Let’s first look at the causes. One common factor that has escort to an increase in climate change is the emission of huge amount of carbon gases. To illustrate, most of these emissions are from smoke which emitted from the discharge of factories, cars and oil fields. Another point contracting is regarding to the deforestation the green area. To clarify, cutting down trees or burn it by natural which help to get fresh air and to prevent pollutions by sucking co2 and producing oxygen.



Having looked at some causes, let’s turn our attention to some effects. One major factor is respect to polar ice caps. For example, the melting of ice might cause the sea level to rise and will leave the global ecosystem out of balance. Another point worthy of mentioning is in term water worming and more hurricanes. For instance, as the temperature oceans increasing the chance of more frequent and huge hurricanes.


In brief, taking into account all that I have mentioned regarding this issue, controlling this problem it is very difficult and it will need a lot of efforts from humans. I think if we use cars with low CO2 or none we will achieve some of the targets that will help avoiding global warming.
