An Inconvenient Truth Summary


An Inconvenient Truth is an American documentary movie presented by Al Gore. He shows some pictures of earth and parts of the earth in the past and the present to make us realize the situation and how serious global warming is. He showed pictures of glaciers which are being melted by global warming, therefore that will effect on sea level which will lead to drown some parts of coast cities, furthermore there will be a serious shortage of drinking water since 40% of the people around the world depend on water melted from glacier.

Statistics were provided in the movie, the last 10 years were the warmest years in history and Al gore showed the relation between carbon dioxide and global warming, scientists predicted this increasing in temperature and what they predicted in the past came true. Now they are saying that the temperature will keep increasing if something is not done about the carbon dioxide emissions. Hurricanes are getting stronger for example hurricane Katrina passed over Florida, doubled back over the gulf because it gained strength from warm gulf water.

The main cause of global warming is burning of fossil fuel, Al Gore gave solutions and he supported each solution with the amount of carbon dioxide reduced. However he said that the government took an action about the ozone layer and it worked well, so if the government will take an action about the global warming for sure the situation will get better. He adds that global warming is a moral issue not a political issue.
