The Inconvenient Truth: Documentary by Al Gore

I'm here with Al Gore's exclusive documantary: The Inconvenient Truth. Al Gore is a famous environmentalist who was U.S.'s vice president under Bill Clinton. This is the summary.

The Inconvenient Trut

     The global warming is an environmental issue, which is occurring on the Earth now. The main reason of global warming is the ‘Greenhouse Effect’, which occurs because of the Earth’s atmosphere’s thickening. Carbon Dioxide is the main problem; when the earth absorbs and heat from the Sun, some bounces back and goes back to the space. Then the layer of the atmosphere traps the heat back around the earth.

     When the atmosphere is not thick enough to trap most of the heat going back, it is better because it keeps the earth’s temperature warm, not  hot. But the greenhouse effect happens because the atmosphere is too thick, due to the overuse of the machineries and other technologies.

     People think the global warming is only dangerous because if it’s severe, the climate is going to get so hot and glaciers, usually in the high mountains or territories near the North/South poles, are going to melt. This is going to make the oceans’ surface about 20 feet higher and many major cities near the beaches will be underwater, including Beijing, New York City, New Orleans, San Francisco, Calcutta, and the whole Netherlands.

     It is not the wrong guess, but more serious thing is that the global warming will also help the ocean currents to cool themselves near the Greenland. The reason makes this serious is the possibility of the Ice Age. The cooled ocean currents will cool the oceans, which can occur the 8^th Ice Age in the last 650,000 years.

     If you look at the graph that represents how much Carbon Dioxide there is in the atmosphere, you will easily recognize that the Carbon Dioxide increase and decrease every year. It’s because of the spinning of the Earth itself and around the Sun which changes every seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The Northern Hemisphere, once face the Sun and once stands by back to the Sun. Starting from spring and until the starting of the autumn, Carbon Dioxide increases. But from autumn to the ending of the winter, Carbon Dioxide decreases. But still, in total, the Carbon Dioxide is increasing every year, which means every year, the climate is increasing.

     There is not only the way to use and send Carbon Dioxide into the air, but the way to reduce it, too. If we use renewable resources, recycle, use hybrid cars, use massive transits, and turn off your electricity when you can, the Carbon Dioxide will decrease and the air will be even with the 1970s. Since the United States of America’s using approximately 30 percentage of Carbon Dioxide of the world, which is more than Asia, EU, and South America all added, if the U.S.A. government turns its favor to the clean environment, we can make the atmosphere 30percent cleaner.

     I hope that in result, the Earth is green and healthy after the humanity's effort to save the environment. If so, the humanity wuill realize the importance of the Earth and try to keep it green for the whole time.
