I just watch the documentary “Inconvenient Truth”. It made me think
what would have happened if Al Gore would have been president, would
this situation have changed. Maybe I should have voted. Anyway, great
movie. Watch it…and do something about it.

Synopsis:

Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the
world’s scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major
catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic
destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and
killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.

If
that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom — think again.
From director Davis Guggenheim comes the Sundance Film Festival hit, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH,
which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man’s fervent
crusade to halt global warming’s deadly progress in its tracks by
exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround it. That man is
former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000
election, re-set the course of his life to focus on a last-ditch,
all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. In this
eye-opening and poignant portrait of Gore and his “traveling global
warming show,” Gore also proves himself to be one of the most
misunderstood characters in modern American public life. Here he is
seen as never before in the media – funny, engaging, open and downright
on fire about getting the surprisingly stirring truth about what he
calls our “planetary emergency” out to ordinary citizens before it’s
too late.

With 2005, the worst storm season ever experienced in America just
behind us, it seems we may be reaching a tipping point – and Gore pulls
no punches in explaining the dire situation. Interspersed with the
bracing facts and future predictions is the story of Gore’s personal
journey: from an idealistic college student who first saw a massive
environmental crisis looming; to a young Senator facing a harrowing
family tragedy that altered his perspective, to the man who almost
became President but instead returned to the most important cause of
his life – convinced that there is still time to make a difference.

With wit, smarts and hope, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH ultimately brings home Gore’s persuasive argument that we can no longer
afford to view global warming as a political issue – rather, it is the
biggest moral challenges facing our global civilization.
