Summery of "An Inconvenient Truth" Film

In hundred of graphs and videos, the film shows the global environmental challenge which is global warming. It gives what the earth was and what it will be in next decades.

Global warming is increasing of carbon amount in the atmosphere because of burning process by cars or other fossil fuel sources. Carbon trapped in the atmosphere and acts like the glass surrounds the earth. As the result, when sunlight come through the atmosphere the earth warm and exceed heat can’t get out, so the temperature raises causing environmental crisis.

Liquid areas like oceans have ability to absorb much heat than solid grounds like icebergs which serves as a mirror that deflects sunlight. However, as water heats up, the polar ice and icebergs starts to shrink and melt. Because of melting ice, creatures like polar bears have to find another place to put their foot on it. In some research these bears have to swim much longer distance around 30 miles.

What does it mean to have long distance?
What are these polar bear going to do with this serious planetary effect?

Furthermore, increasing hooter weather caused not only floods of water but also droughts. Soil moisture has evaporated and the ground becomes not stead or stable. Many houses have demolished and long trees swing. Moreover, because of melting polar ice, world sea level rises. The rising could be up to 20 feet. See water covers some habitable lands and causing memorable number of consulting and losses.


My comment

The film was very interesting and worth seeing. I learned how the environmental crisis effect on the weather, sea and land. It is really a global serious problem. I learned that problem have come like result of what people do especially in last 3 or 5 decades. One of bad effects, the world sea level is rising to cover some residential areas. Hot weather is rapidly increasing because many countries turn to be industrial and the worst is coming if people don’t begin to change their behavior.

Looks good, both parts, now you need to work on your 'Carbon Footprint', maybe another post.

See you in class to finish your reading summary.
