THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH BY: AL GORE

          There is so much evidence to prove on the things we hear, we see and feel. That is my realization after I’ve watched the “An Inconvenient Truth” campaign of the former vice president of the United State “Al Gore” towards the climate change. Most of us believe only to the things around us once we see it or possesses it, yet there are instances that our eyes is blinding us to judge on what is really happening throughout us. So here comes the sense of touch, the sense of sensation, and trying to imagine every bit of the occurrences that’s moving everywhere. But is this enough to understand all the things that’s happening on every inch of your door step?. Did you even ask yourself “what will happen to me once I step out on my house door?” What if a mad man on the street just pulls his trigger right straight to your head, what if a car crush into your door while you trying to open it. I know there’s to many what ifs and thousand of situation that could be a possible outcome of what will happen to you before leaving your house. But the truth is, were in the cliff of hell right now, toasting us in the heat of the sun and inhaling the polluted air releasing by your fancy cars. We are poisoned by our own products by our own desires by our own greediness of aiming the impossible be possible. And this leads us to the crime towards our motherland, the home of all living and non-living, the resources of all goods we have in our hands. Today we are experiencing rapid changes to our weather and the occurrences of unusual calamities in different parts of the earth. The breathing earth is now suffocated with mans waste, it is shouting for help, for attention, for your care.

          In Al Gore documentary, he shows that our mother earth transformed to its worse stage. And he also shows different factors that are the source of its destruction. The Pale Blue Dot, a Voyager 1 photo showing Earth (circled) as a single pixel from 4 billion miles (6.4 billion kilometers) away, is featured in the film. Al Gore points out that all of human history has happened on that tiny pixel, which is our only home. This one reminds me of the animated cartoon titled “Adventure Time”, that happened after the “Great Mushroom War” and on the scenario of post-apocalyptic war. Well moving on, throughout the movie, Gore discusses the scientific opinion on climate change, as well as the present and future effects of global warming and stresses that - climate change "is really not a political issue, so much as a moral one," describing the consequences he believes global climate change will produce if the amount of human-generated greenhouse gases is not significantly reduced in the very near future. Gore also presents Antarctic ice-coring data that shows CO₂ levels higher now than in the past 650,000 years.

          The film includes segments intended to refute critics who say that global warming is unproven or that warming will be insignificant. For example, Gore discusses the possibility of the collapse of a major ice sheet in Greenland or in West Antarctica, either of which could raise global sea levels by approximately 20 feet (6 m), flooding coastal areas and producing 100 million refugees. The documentary ends with Gore arguing that if appropriate actions are taken soon. Then the effects of global warming can be successfully reversed by releasing less CO₂ and planting more vegetation to consume existing CO₂. Gore calls upon his viewers to learn how they can help him in these efforts. Gore concludes the film by saying, "Each one of us is a cause of global warming, but each one of us can make choices to change that with the things we buy, the electricity we use, the cars we drive; we can make choices to bring our individual carbon emissions to zero. The solutions are in our hands; we just have to take the determination to make it happen. We have everything that we need to reduce carbon emissions, everything but political will. But in America, the will to act is a renewable resource.

          We the steward of the earth, the only thing that the earth can entrust itself, has the capability and responsibility to help, nourish and care the only thing where we can live in. And for how many years we use our earth for us to survive. We should stand out and give back the life, the earth provides on us. Be aware, be warning, and let us support the four foundation of the dying earth.
