An Inconvenient Truth

We are already experiencing the effect of global warming phenomena and


we are not even aware of this. This should not be ignore because this is a major
issue concerns mother earth. The unexpected climate change and the strong
heat from the sun when we are outside are one the effects of the global warming
here in our country. We will lose everything if we ignore this major issue
concerning our mother earth.
In the film the former vice president Al Gore discussed what is this global
warming and what is this all about regarding the planet. He cited some events
that were caused by the global warming and discussed the politics and
economics of global warming, and describes the consequences he believes
global climate change will produce if the amount of human-generated
greenhouse gases is not significantly reduced in the very near future. The sun
rays coming from the sun are trap by greenhouse gases cause by the pollution
from different aspect. This layer that traps the sun rays in the earth are thickened
by the pollution and greenhouse gases and heat from the sun remains at the
earth atmosphere causing the melting of ice in Antarctica and other events. The
glaciers around the world are fading and disappearing because of global
warming. The 40% of people in the world get their drinking water from the rivers
and springs of Himalayas, if the glaciers in Himalayas do no longer exist this will
cause the 40% people a shortage in water. The hurricane Katrina strikes the
New Orleans and made a major impact to the area where it stays. It killed
numbers of people and destroyed many homes and lost billions of dollars of
damage. Al Gore explains what happen to hurricane Katrina before it strikes New
Orleans. Ocean temperature causes stronger storms, as ocean heats up the
hurricane intensity grows. As hurricane Katrina passed into the gulfs of water it
picks up energy and grows stronger and stronger. In Mumbai, India, 37 inches of
rain 24 hours and water levels reached 7 feet, the most an Indian city received in
one day and the death toll reached 1000. Global warming not only increase
precipitation but drought is the other half like what South Africa is experiencing.
The Lake Chad between Niger and Darfur is one of the largest lakes before but it
dried up for last few decades for almost nothing. Soil evaporation increases
dramatically with high temperature because the moisture of the soil was sucks.
The ice in Arctic oceans receives the heat from the sun and continues to melt
and when the ice is lost this will make a build up of heat to that certain part of the
pole. Polar bears will lose their home because they depend on ice. Global
warming also affects the shifts of seasons and the ecological niches. This also
causes different diseases that might give risks to a persons health.
Global warming have major causes and one of this are the carbon dioxide
emitted from the cars. About 33% of U.S carbon dioxide emissions comes from
the burning of gasoline in internal-combustion engines of cars and light
trucks.Vehicles with poor gas mileage contribute the most to global warming.
While carbon dioxide is the principal greenhouse gas, methane is second most
important. Water vapor is the most prevalent and most powerful greenhouse gas
on the planet, but its increasing presence is the result of warming caused by
carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases. After carbon emissions
caused by humans, deforestation is the second principle cause of atmospheric
carbon dioxide. We are losing millions of acres of rainforests each year. The
destroying of tropical forests alone is throwing hundreds of millions of tons of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. We are also losing temperate
forests. The temperate forests of the world account for an absorption rate of 2
billion tons of carbon annually.
According to Al Gore, the climatic calamity is, indeed, tremendously hazardous.
In fact it is a real earthly crisis. In more then hundred countries, two thousand
scientists are working for more than twenty years in the most intricate and
ordered scientific partnerships in the history of humanity to study the crisis. It is
very important that proper heed is paid towards the global warming problem. Al
Gore in his book and his documentary has warned that unless we get alert
quickly to deal with the fundamental reasons of global warming, our world will
experience a thread of awful calamities, including more and stronger hurricanes
like the one Katrina, in both the Atlantic and the Pacific. Al Gore has insisted on
the fact that it is due the global warming that the North Polar ice cap and all the
mountain glaciers in world will finally melt down in a few decades from now.
Another major effect of Global Warming has been noticed in the behavior of the
wild life. There has been extinction of various species due to global warming.
Major changes are seen in the animals as they react to the warmer environment,
which are caused due to global warming. A behavior pattern of the animals
studied shows that the animals are beginning to shift their population towards
north or towards a higher altitudes. The marine life is also very sensitive to the
increase in temperatures. The effect of global warming will definitely be seen on
some species in the water. A survey was made in which the marine life reacted
significantly to the changes in water temperatures. It is expected that many
species will die off or become extinct due to the increase in the temperatures of
the water, whereas various other species, which prefer warmer waters, will
increase tremendously. Perhaps the most disturbing changes are expected in the
coral reefs that are expected to die off as an effect of global warming. Even the
penguins that live on poles are getting affected as a result of global warming.
Due to melting of polar ice their life cycle is getting disturbed and which leads to
death of many animals.
We must not ignore this issue, this shouldn’t be set aside because our
future depends on this. We don’t want to lose everything, so we must make a
move to help in stopping the global warming. Our future grandchildren will be
suffer if we don’t act now. This issue must be relay to everybody and be aware of
what’s happening with our environment. Sooner or later we’ll experience
unbalance in nature because of global warming. Like what Al Gore did he wants
us to be awaken on what we are doing with our nature. This a fact and we must
face this all, this is an international problem because its happening around the
globe. If we continue ignoring this, I don’t that we still have our tomorrow. I’m now
aware of what is the real impact of global warming to us and to our future.
