For this post I am dedicating it to Al Gore and his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth". The documentary from 2006 which I highly recommend is about Al Gore and his campaign to educate citizens about global warming.
Al Gore who was a Former Vice President under Bill Clinton has been a strong advocate for environmental protection and global warming. Since 1989 Gore has been at the forefront of environmental protection and preservation. It started with his slide show illustrations that he would discuss how our world is heating up and becoming increasingly unstable due to human activity. Throughout this documentary Gore discusses the scientific opinion on global warming and how the issue is not such much a political issue than it is a moral one. Gore also discusses CO2 levels in the Antarctic providing data showing how the levels are the highest they have ever been in 650,000 years. Gore also refutes that the warming process will be negligible arguing that ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica which could raise the sea level by 20 feet and cause over 100 million refugees to flee areas effected by rising sea levels.
However towards the end of the documentary Gore does say there is hope. We must cut back on the amount of green house gases that we put out and plant more vegetation to allow the CO2 levels to be absorbed by them. If we take the necessary precautions we can begin to heal the damage we have caused to our planet. I highly recommend you watch his documentary it is a must see for anyone who is concerned or cares about our environment and those who inhabit it, humans and animals alike.
