Summary o f the Movie:

45th Vice-president Albert Gore Jr. under the administration of President

Bill Clinton discusses about the most significant issue that the Earth is
facing(GLOBAL WARMING). The Film encourages us to face and look the
reality regarding our planet’s serious situation. Al Gore explains that on
August 29,2005 Hurricane Katrina was the most unbelievable thing that
happened in America, it is because it has killed thousands of people and
has recorded a worth of billion of deaths and damages. Tom Van Sant (Al’
friend) took 3,000 separated satellite pictures taken in a 3 year period of
the Earth rotation within 24 hours. In one of the pictures shows the
image of the tip of the East Coast of South America matches the tip of the
West Coast of Africa…Does continents move? or just a coincidence!!now
that’s the big question…because if you are looking at the big picture they
do fit together but they don’t move!

Al Gore also points out that Earth’s atmosphere is vulnerable….and what

makes it weak it that it’s so thin!
Solar radiator in the form of lightwaves passes through the atmosphere
and most of his radiation is absorbed by the Earth and Warms it. Some
energy is radiated back into space by the Earth in the form of Infrared
waves and some of this infrared waves is trapped by the Earth’s
atmosphere and again it warms it, Gore says it’s the traditional
explanation of Global Warming.

But Gore’s explanation has given us clearer, funny and more elaborated.
In his explanation, SUNBEAM. Sunbeam heats the Earth to balance the
planet’s temperature now that’s a good thing! But because of
GREENHOUSE GASSES made by Global Pollutions that makes the
atmosphere’s layer thick.

Because of the layer’s thickness, Sunbeam makes the Earth warmer than
it’s normal temperature, to combat these Greenhouse gasses , politicians
decided to drop giant ice cube to reduce the melting of glaciers
particularly in Antarctica. Glaciers becomes the mirror where 90%
sunbeam bounces..that results to fast melting. Gore was startled when his
Prof. Roger Revelle (one of the scientist who measures carbon Dioxide in
the atmosphere) share with him the dots regarding the rising Global
Warming. Gore also shares the 10 hottest years ,where 2005 were the
extreme hot. Prof. Revelle knew where it was going. Revelle hired Charles
David Keeling and working in the Pacific Ocean everyday came-up with a
good results.

In the year 1958 the Earth stared breathing Carbon Dioxide, the more
CO2, the more Earth get’s warmer. In 2003 Heatwaves stroke Europe-
estimated DAMAGES in FRANCE-15,000;NETHERLANDS-1,400;PORTUGAL-
13,000; ITALY-20.000;UK-900;SPAIN-100. What makes this film more
interesting is that Gore also shares his experience in life. In his childhood,
Nancy(sister) became his friend and protector. Nancy died in Lung Cancer
due to smoking. His 6 year old son was hit by a car and eventually died in
the year 1989. His father was chosen to be the Breeder of the Month,
raises Tobacco and Black Angus Bull. Gore also compare the Human
Nervous System into a frog. Al once said that “DOING THE RIGHT THING
MOVES US FORWARD”.

Gore mentioned that the reason behind Why some scientists were
ridiculed, persecuted and defragged from their jobs, their salaried as well
as benefits, it is because the fact where they lived in leads them to An
Inconvenient Truth.
Gore sets a goal in His life and that is to “ACOMMUNICATE” and the only
way He knows how to do It is to Communicate City by City, Person by
Person, Family by Family and Hope and PRAY for some MINDS might
CHANGE.
