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 Europeestimated DAMAGES in FRANCE-15,000;NETHERLANDS-1,400;PORTUGAL13,000; 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.
