Blog prompt number 2

The film "An inconvenient Truth" is a simple and factual film which was illustrated using PowerPoint presentation by Al- Gore; an American politician who was once the Vice President of USA.It was after his defeat in 2000 election, that he showed his passion and inspiration to help save the planet from irrevocable change.

I found Al-Gore to be very persuasive and a good communicator. He gave a lot of worldwide examples to show how more CO2 level has resulted in temperature rise. He further went on to say"things should not have been taken for granted; this warning was raised by leading Scientists but it was ignored.

With wit, smart and hope, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH ultimately brings home Gore's persuasive argument that we can no longer afford to view global warming as a political issue- rather, it is the biggest moral challenges facing our global civilization.

On the other hand, the film portrays an alarmist point of view because there are many Scientists who believe that global warming is not due to human activity alone;by the increase burning of fossil fuel and intensive farming. These sceptical scientist believe that natural processes occurring on the earth, are responsible for increased global warming.

There's no empirical evidence that humans are causing global warming"
Direct observations find that CO2 is rising sharply due to human activity. Satellite measurements find less energy is escaping to space at CO2 absorption wavelengths. Ocean and surface temperature measurements find the planet is steadily accumulating heat. There is direct empirical evidence that human CO2 emissions are causing global warming
