what do you think about "An inconvenient truth"?

Answer 1

An inconvenient truth, show us the facts, this man has combine dozen of facts on climate change, that precious scientist weren't able to explain. i believe who believe it hoaxes, are either go with bush admiration and Fossil Fuel Company who have been toning down climate change (global warming) so won’t seem as bad and there doing for money over well be of people and planet. i don't think there aware what of power we have on planet. Human are consider a dominate race, we have largest population, we create machine and change environments like the direction of river in way we like. We make houses and city skyscrapers, we guns, planes. We power to destroy whatever is in our path, and kill off an entire species and make it at stick. How not consider that power? There time when were going to see what wrong we done to earth, and try fix this global problem, for better than doing nothing. I know humans are not perfect and it natural to think of yourself cause it real thing we understand but once and while we need to think what going on around us, for world doesn’t center around you. Animal are valuable they keep the balance of life or circle of life, without them, the environment will be danger and which will endanger us. This planet earth has given us so many things like tree that bring the oxygen, a habit for animal and reduce carbon emissions and this planet is alive and belongs to animals as well. Even though we make mistakes that why we strive to do, that what makes us better people. I not trying to converge and change you into something your not, I just like you understand what I and perhaps many other see. if you believe in stopping global warming here four sites

Answer 2

Decent, if a bit overdramatic. Even the scientists who disagree with him on some details agree he has the basics right. Global warming is real, mostly caused by us, and very dangerous.

The swindle movie is something different altogether.

It is simply a political statement which distorts science. The director has a history of putting out misleading stuff. In 1997 he made a series for Channel 4 called “Against Nature”, which compared environmentalists with Nazis. Channel 4 had to apologise for the misleading stuff in that one. The present movie is also a distortion of the science. More here:

http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/climate_change/article2355956.ece

"A Channel 4 documentary claimed that climate change was a conspiratorial lie. But an analysis of the evidence it used shows the film was riddled with distortions and errors."

"The science might be bunkum, the research discredited. But all that counts for Channel 4 is generating controversy."

Gore's movie may be a little over dramatic, but it has the basic science right. This movie does not.

Channel 4 itself undercuts the movie in a funny way. If you go to their website on the movie you find links to real global warming information. They also have a way to "Ask the Expert" about global warming. The questions go to a respected mainstream scientist who supports (mostly) human responsibility for global warming.

Answer 3

I just saw it last night actually. I thought the movie was more explanatory than the book, which I've read, and easier to understand than "The Weather Makers." I thought the movie was great, and presented the facts well. Living in a coastal area about 200m from the beach, it obviously struck a chord with my family. My parents are currently talking to the real estate agents about the value of our house. It honestly makes me furious to hear all the sceptics refuse to believe it, because it is happening, and vast majority of it is a direct result of human activity. The people in my opinion who refuse to take action are selfish and ignorant, and I will have no sympathy for them when they're living 20 metres below sea level.
I must say though,I thought the slideshow itself was amazing. It was like an animation basically, and Al Gore is a great presenter. The only thing I didn't like was all the stories about his life. Although they were sort of relevant to why he got into the environment in the first place, I found it a bit pointless.

Answer 4

What Al Gore somewhat skill with the aid of "Inconvenient reality" is this worldwide is fueled with the aid of money and greed. If what Al Gore is pitching seems to be actual "worldwide Warming" then the vehicle makers, the oil businesses and the different corporation that creates synthetic gases that injury the enviroment may be answerable for this destruction. the businesses might then would desire to abide with the aid of recent regulations and policies to limit using those risky gases, which might as all of us comprehend cut back the final analysis for the already wealthy billionairs. So this makes it an inconvenient reality as a results of fact people who dont supply a crap approximately your infants destiny, are basically enthusiastic approximately earning salary. yet save in mind that Mr. Al Gore is likewise earning salary from this pitch of international Warming and has won a Nobel Peace Prize in the technique. Make your guy or woman conclusions on GW, yet additionally persist with the money path in the technique. Welcome to the actual worldwide. ;)

Answer 5

Some interesting studies mixed with a lot of irrelevant personal content .I was absolutely not convinced that global warming is actually happening and if it was that men have caused it.i used to beleive in g.warming more before I saw this movie and book .Many ,many items here are not backed up with solid evidence. Statistics can be manipulated to show anything you want.People who are convinced of Al's point of view on the basis of this movie alone need to wake up and smell the real inconvenient truth: only one point of view is presented in this film.Hmmm...how convenient.

Answer 6

I watched that movie and came away convinced that global warming was on its way and we were going to cause it if we didnt do something and quick! Then my scientist's skepticism kicked in.

Consider the graphs that are presented as cause and effect....NOTE that the main graph the uncle AL shows you shows CO2 increases FOLLOWING the increase n gloval temperature! Ummmm....but doesn't he say that CO2 CAUSES the rise in temperature? Then shouldn't that graph show first the rise in CO2 and THEN the rise in global temperature? Hmmmmm..... More hocuspocus.

BE CAREFUL and check your FACTS carefully. THINK don't just jump to a conclusion!

Then someone turned me on to the so-called (underground) video which is the anti-global warming documentary. It's almost as pitiful in its complaining and whining, but for some hard research not shared with us by uncle Al in his production, the material on sunspot activity and solar flares.

Watch it for yourself.

Answer 7

It is political propaganda which shows the science that supports Al Gore's position and omits or dismisses the science that does not.

Answer 8

It is lacking in inconvenient facts.

Answer 9

That's the way the cookies crumble

Answer 10

it has made environmental concerns a front page issue in the newsmedia, and for that i suppose it did its job.
