The documentary of Al Gore is very interesting, because it does not only give you information about global warming but also it will awaken you to take good care of our mother earth. It clearly showed the environmental conditions our planet is facing. Part of the reason why I like it was that Gore presents a powerful message that combines factual information, humor and, ultimately, hopes. I really like how Al Gore relates his life story with what was happening in the earth, especially global warming. I was shocked that there was already big increase on carbon dioxide emission. I don't like the fact that he put some issues in politics, especially on what happened in 2000 presidential election in America. The global warming issue was properly and well explained by giving so animations, graphics, and video clips. I realized how much we take our actions for granted, never giving any thought if those actions will have negative impact on the environment. I really like what he said in the documentary, “We no longer have much time left to change, but we do have time.” I was awakened by the documentary and it made me feel that it's our time to secure our future. I learned that if we are humane enough about the issue of global warming, we must encourage ourselves to make the change. Indeed, An Inconvenient Truth hits sharp and it hits hard. If you love our mother earth, watch it. No wait, don't just watch it, do something. Start making changes, to save the earth for ourselves and the next generation who will inherit it.
From Gore’s statement, one can notice that although we are all responsible for the global warming, we are in the same time the only ones who can prevent this phenomenon from going even further. Taking this fact into consideration, we need to start living a sustainable life. A sustainable way of life can be attained by exploring the alternative energy sources, by making ‘environment protection and preservation’ one of our priorities in our

    Al Gore is a politician and environmentalist that gave his speech “Climate Emergency” at Yale School of Forestry in 2004. He also presented it during the presidential campaign that same year. He argues that the Earth’s environment is in fact vulnerable, and that humans have a big impact on it. In his speech he uses scientific facts, statistics, maps, and graphs to demonstrate. Gore explains why he used the title “Climate Emergency”, “it is intended to convey what it conveys- that this is a crisis with an unusual sense of urgency attached to it, and we should see it as an emergency. The fact that we don’t, or that most people don’t is part of what I want to cover here” (Gore, 861)…

    Al Gore’s presentation on global warming has opened minds across the globe. He has set a level of awareness and elevated thinking through any reasonable person’s logic concerning the well being of the planet. The theory has developed into facts, and consumers are making a conscious effort at the cash register by purchasing more “Earth- friendly” merchandise. Rather than conflict with the environment, consumer decisions and responsibilities play a major role in the prosperity and future of our planet.…

    In the documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore offers a rallying cry to his audience in an attempt to gather support to help fight the Earth’s climate crisis. In order to do this, he presents his audience with a variety of facts on the issue of global warming and provides stories on his background experiences as an environmentalist. He details his experiences studying global warming, his involvement with environmental Senate hearings that led nowhere, and he lays out solid facts about the Earth’s atmospheric issues to ascertain his credibility as an environmentalist. For example, he references the failure of the Kyoto Treaty to appeal to Congress and how it may have helped significantly reduce carbon emissions…

    “An Inconvenient Truth” directed by Davis Guggenheim is a documentary that Al Gore stars in for the public purpose of increasing awareness about climate change due to greenhouse gases, but for the indirect political purpose of increasing Gore’s popularity amongst the educated masses. Gore’s direct audience would be the liberal thinkers and people concerned about their environment or the future of their family. He asserts that global warming is severely impacting the environment and changes need to be implemented in people’s everyday lives to reduce the negative side effects of the human race’s actions. Gore’s tactics are compelling and highly effective to the point that the documentary received many reviews, both negative and positive, along with millions of dollars in the box office.…

    Daniel Botkin and Al Gore have very different views on the issues of global warming. Botkin contends that the scare tactics used by Gore and many similar thinking environmentalists are simply a desperate means intended to alarm the public and force governments to take actions that are unnecessary and misdirected. Gore alleges that immediate action is necessary to avoid increases in the plant and animal extinction and the spread of diseases. Botkin admits that global warming is a fact, but as a scientist, he cannot agree on the severity and negative effects of the condition. While both men present compelling different arguments for their views on global warming, Gore has seized the attention of the public laymen by writing books and articles carefully aimed at this segment of the population, producing and Academy Award winning film on the subject, and winning the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2007 for his work in behalf of the issue. Botkin has continued to direct his position to the academic and scientific communities by writing textbooks and scientific articles and avoiding the public debate. Both men accept the fact that global warming exists, but Botkin renounces the gloom and doom predictions of gore and other environmentalists and contends that scientific evidence does not support the fatal forecasts of Gore and his fellow alarmists.…

    Al Gore makes the appeal to ethics through his experience researching environmental problems. He also affirms that he chairs the Alliance for Climate Protection, a grassroots action planning society (Weisser, 2015, pg. 111). Al Gore has received a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on climate change activism. Gore appears to be a very intelligent, well-informed man. His facts and arguments are supported and affirmed. In his article, he explains, “…the scientific consensus…has been endorsed by every National Academy of science of every major country on the planet, every major professional scientific society related to the study of global warming and 98 percent of climate scientists throughout the world” (Gore, 2011). Al Gore, however, is not a scientist. He graduated from Harvard with a high degree in government and eventually became a politician (“Al Gore Biography,” n.d.). However, by citing credible sources and establishing himself as knowledgeable and educated on the subject, Gore makes a very appealing…
