An inconvenient truth - A movie by Al gore who was contesting for the president. Generally, presidents take a lot of oaths before they come into the office and promise to fulfill all of them and that's how they get to win in most cases - The higher you promise the more people like you. But Al Gore was a different contestant. He wanted to change the world-or should i say, change what America was contributing to the world in terms of pollution. The whole movie concentrates on global warming and Al Gore presents the facts so immaculately that it astonishes us. An inconvenient truth indeed.
Initially a book too, this was later made into a movie for people to know all over the world. the movie is kind of like a documentary which shows us Al's trips to many places around the world to make the people aware of the growing climate crisis. He presents slide shows showing the facts which makes us think for a moment that maybe he is actually telling the truth and that if we continue to exploit the environment, one day we might not have a place to live at all.
As there is a contradiction to everything , even here many people oppose Al by pointing out that there had already been a period in the world similar to now where the earth's temperature has grown up and then after many years gone back to normal. There is also another group which says Global warming is a myth and there is no such thing as the world getting heated up. But, Al had taken many efforts to prove that global warming is in fact a serious issue. He uses various methods to measure the thickness of ice and the level of carbon dioxide in the area surrounding the poles and shows us a drastic decrease in the thickness which will soon result in their melting. Also, there are many slide shows which show shocking pictures of seas or dry lands which once used to be glaciers.
Al Gore points out that America is one of the greatest contributors to global warming as they have employed many technologies which cause pollution. He makes an impression that he is not showing these facts to win the people's votes(which also has a very slim chance) but that he really wants to make a change starting with his own country.
As to the contradiction pointed out by many that this has already happened many years ago, Al points out that the temperature rise in the present conditions is far greater than then and that there is no way it can go back to normal unless we do something about it.
A very interesting movie indeed about environmental awareness although one cannot completely believe the facts even thought they are right in front of your eyes. The concept of global warming has many sides to it. But an enlightening one which will definitely make you think that you can do something to change the world.
