An Inconvenient Truth
We watched the video named, ‘An Inconvenient Truth’. The video was
introduced by Al Gore who was the candidate of the U.S. president. Al Gore was
the vice president in 1992. He was interested in the environment and when he
retired the status of vice president, he became an environmental activist. This
video shows Al Gore giving a lecture to lots of people.
The video was about global warming. Because of the global warming,
we can see with our naked eye that ice on the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro is
melting every single year. Therefore, lots of people are investigating about
the snow and the ice. Also, if there are more carbon dioxide, the temperature
gets warmer because it traps the heat. And more, hurricane is the warning of
global warming. In addition, flooding and drought is increasing.
Global warming is like a vicious circle. Originally, ice bounces the
sunlight but global warming melt lots of ice so the water absorbs the sunlight
and the water gets warm and it holds the heat. If the temperature on the equator
changes only a degree, it would change each pole twelve degrees. Therefore, it
would make the situation worse.
Because of the global warming, lots of virus increased. Also, loss
of species got thousand time faster than before. The experts saw that coral
leaves were drying. Moreover, they saw the Larsen ice shell melting and
disappeared. And if the west side of the Antarctic ice melts, the sea level
will increase 20 feet.
Al Gore thinks nature is prior to preventing the terrors. Also,
because of the old technology, it makes the nature dirty. If there are lots of
new technology which are eco-friendly, it would be pleasant for nature and
development. And people’s demand increasing, the global warming increases too.
I couldn’t understand why Al Gore showed the video about his
election between the ‘environment’ lectures. However, I liked Al Gore when he
introduced about his childhood because his father was a farmer and he was
always with the nature.
