The film is accessible and communicates the science of global warming in a manner that is understandable even for those without a scientific background. Gore explains the basics of how the earth’s temperatures are kept constant, but how human interaction with the natural environment since the Industrial Revolution has caused carbon dioxide (CO2) levels to rise and with it the planet’s average temperature. He also illustrates how warmer temperatures cause the melting of glaciers, which in turn affect the salt levels in the sea, increase ocean temperatures, affect currents and strengthen storms. The presentation includes impressive visual supports which demonstrate the level of climate change already wrought from our consumption of carbon. He details the elements of the modern environmental movement and traces the development of his interest and involvement in climate change from his university days onward. The film’s title alludes to the hesitancy of politicians and governments to address climate change because of the tough and potentially unpopular actions that are required to tackle the issue, the financial cost of changing to less environmentally damaging energy sources, and the need to alter our lifestyles and means of production. Gore details some of the elaborate and underhanded efforts by United States government officials to hide the truth about global warming from the American people. This documentary film about global warming was inspired by the campaigning work of Al Gore, the former United States Vice President, to raise awareness of the issue and encourage action against climate change. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in Sundance, Utah in 2006, and has since won an Academy Award and become the fourth highest grossing documentary of all time. The content of the film largely derives from lectures delivered by Gore at a number of universities and schools around the world. And it always will be.“There are good people….who hold this at arm’s length because if they acknowledge it and recognize it then the moral imperative to make big changes is inescapable” (Gore, 2006). Face it: Climate has always been a threat to humanity. It's just scare tactics to fleece money off governments and to secure funds for future research. He just parroted the same talking points of people who want to make us believe that GW is a threat. No, Al Gore proved nothing in this movie. And the idea that today's climate is the ideal climate is just recondite. So where is this oh so friendly and clement climate that deserves preservation? Even thousands of years later people still grapple with adapting to the climate and you know what? They never will because climate is too incalculable. Tell it to the people who cannot pay for their increased heating costs because of hard winters.
Tell it to the people who cannot grow anything on dessicated land in Africa. Tell it to the people in Colorado who have to shovel tons of snow from their yards. So what on earth makes GW proponents believe that today's climate deserves peresevation? Tell it to the people in Asia where they have to face the annual Monsun inundations and hundreds of them drown each year. But the reality is that even today and in the past there have been storms, floods, droughts or too much snow. But regardless of the truth in this matter, the notion that we must save the climate from changing lies solely on a false assumption of the current and past climate: That today's climate is tame and easy to adapt to. But in reality it has never been proved that humans cause GW. According to Al Gore and all his supporters of the GW myth, we have to do something about climate change or face the consequences.
