I watched the movie "An Inconvenient Truth" last night with a friend. Both of us are no strangers to the topic of global warming as we read about it in our work at times. Personally I feel that it's great that someone produced this movie to increase people's awareness on the impacts on global warming on our lives and the future generation. It's even more amazing that Al Gore has taken up the role to be the crusader for Earth by visiting different countries to present the facts and encouraging the audience to do their part to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and other gases that cause global warming.
There are video clips of Al Gore when he was younger and how he got interested about global warming, how precious he feels life is when his son was recuperating in the hospital and how he wants the earth to remain ingood conditions for his children and future generations. He also emphasized the importance of political will, change in mindset in order for every individual/country/organisation to start reducing their CO2 emissions before it's too late.
It is good for people who know nothing or little about global warming towatch this show. It will be a wake up call. As for those of us who are new to this issue, it is a reminder that armed with the knowledge, we could do our part.
You can read more about the movie at Wikipedia and this website .

Hahah...find out more facts before you agree with Al Gore's ideas and disagree with his actions.
I'm not surprised there are people who preach and don't walk the talk. But I think what's important here is that global warming has adverse impacts on our lives. We could criticise the movie makers or Al Gore for not setting an example. But what i think is more constructive is to examine whether the movie has moved people to do more than just talking about it. What are you and I doing after we watch the movie? Is it a failure if everyone still continues his/her lives as normal? Or there is hope as a seed has been planted in our minds and we just need another catalyst, reminder, catastrophe to take actions?
