Al Gore, the host, was the vice-president of the United State in the Clinton Administration. He first took an interest in climate change in grade school and has continued to take an interest in this subject as a politician. In this documentary, he highlights the relationship between the emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the corresponding temperatures over a 650,000 year period. Let’s now take a look at some of the major results of global warming according to Gores presentation.
The film prevail the causes/effects and dangerous about global warming and it suggest some actions to prevent it. It does focus on Al Gore and his travels in support of his efforts to educate people about the severity of the climate crisis and intersperses Gore's exploration of data and predictions about climate change and its potential for disaster with Gore's life story. The film reviews the scientific opinion on climate change, discusses the politics and economics of global warming. In addition, the film examines the annual temperature and CO2 levels for the past 650,000 years in Antarctic ice core samples. It's also discusses the possibility of the collapse of a major ice sheet in Greenland or in West Antarctica, either of which could raise global sea levels by approximately 20 feet. The film contains some short animated projections of what could happen to different animals more vulnerable to climate change.
To sum up, Al Gore says that although the situation regarding global warming appears dire, he does speak passionately looking forward to the future with hope. His presentation concludes with parting nuggets of practical advice as to how man can play a role in curbing climate change.
