An Inconvenient Truth


1. Have you seen this movie? This is a documentary film which was released in 2006 in the U.S.

2. “An inconvenient truth” means changing the environment. Global warming is an inconvenient for people, but it is true that the problem is proceeding.

3. The cast is only Al Gore who was a vice-president in the Clinton Administration. He has been interested in the problem of global warming since he was in Harvard University. He has been appealing this important problem to the world.

4. This film is made up of many his speeches and lectures about the environment problems. This film tells an inconvenient truth through a lot of weather data and films of nature which was changed dramatically by global warming.

5. The Bush Administration used to say that the global warming is just a hypothesis, and the global warming is not happening. This film criticizes an attitude of the government which does not look at the environment problems, and he appeals for people to protect the environment in their life.

6. The U.S. media did not tell these environment problems because they were following the Bush Administration. That is why many American people did not know the matters until they saw this film.

7. “An Inconvenient Truth” was released in not only the U.S. but also in many other countries. Al Gore published a book about the issue of global warming, too. His action has been affecting people all over the world.

8. This film won Academy Awards in 2007, and he received Novel Peace prize in the same year.

9. People are likely to do not think importance of our earth when they are thinking of industrial development. However, we will not be able to live on the earth if we continue recent life.

10. He will publish new book (the name is “Our Choice”) on November. Why do not we think about the environment and development?

  1. I haven't seen this film. but, as your description of global warming, I think that global warming is a urgent problem for people nowadays. we do not pay attention to protect our enviroment that lead to the serious problem, global warming.However,we can still plant more tree and limit the explosion of industry to fight against global warming in some ways.

  2. That poster looks so cool!! I will watch this movie this weekend! However, I also think global warming is a problem in this world. We should change our mind, and worry about this problem. Tang said we can plant trees. I also think plant tree is one thing we can do for global warming, and we must take care of trees-planted area. A little care will have prevent it!

  3. Environment and development are really the serious aspects that worth for humans to think about. It is hard to balance both in a particular way, but it should be. Many people todoy still don't take care of the global warming, they think it is so far away from them and have no connections. But in fact, it has become quite serious. Comparing the past and now, we will see many things have gone or leaving us. If humans still keep harming the environment, the end of the earth may comes sooner or later.

  4. Hey,Chisa~~I have seen the movie. That was so inpressive on me. To be honest, I really have a long time that did not use air condition, even was in summer. But not, I was a little bit change. I just do my best to protect our environment. I feel so shamed about the people who destroy the environment. They are really don't conscious about how dangrous they are. Whatever, hope everyone protect our world.

  5. Pollution is such a big issue. Many scientists devote themselves to solve the pollution problems, but people still do anything they can to destroy the nature. However, many countries do take measures to protect the environment, for example, China had a policy now that supermarkets and shops do not give comstomers plastic bags. If you want one, you should pay it. People do realize the big task we meet in front of us.

  6. I have whatched this movie. I remember that at the vary beganning of the movie, there are some geographers who are doing a ice testing at Antarctic, and suddently the ice sheet where they stand on is breaking in two piece. Then the camera lens move up and shows that the whole piece of ice sheet is breaking into two. It is a very magnificent sight and it shucked me. I always want to be friendly with our enviroment becauce that earth is the only planet we can live on. But when i watching this movie, i also think about another point about globle morming. some people think it is a crafty plot that maked by some politics. But i forget the reason why people thinks about it. But anyway, i think it is a big issue for human. People have to live with a way that also good for our natural.

  7. I am sure i am about going to see this movie. Yes, the global warm is getting badly, and it must not be a hypothesis. It is around the corner. So, we would better put this issue on the table, then think of a solution. we cannot let this issue become uncontrollable which would let us to die.

  9. I got confused when I saw the flow chart. What does that mean? I watched this kind of movie before, which is to tell people how the environment is important and essential for us. I'd glad to watch this one. Then to tell more people that we should protect our environment.

  10. When the website was open, I saw a familar poster--I know this film, but I haven't seen it. We people have discussen this issue for many years, however, we always consider that for this big issue, we cannot change it by we small individual.
    What I want to say is only each of we individuals do our best to solve it, there is a possible that our earth becomes better.

    ALTHOUGH I AM CONCERNED ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING, I HAVE NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THIS MOVIE. I WILL WATCH IT SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE. I AM SURPRISED THAT THE APARTMENT THAT I LIVE IN NOW DOES NOT RECYCLE THINGS. PEOPLE JUST THROW EVERYTHING AWAY NO MATTER WHAT. THIS IS SURPRISING COMING FROM A COUNTRY WHERE RECYCLING IS A BIG ISSUE. BY THE WAY, THERE WERE ONLY FEW MISTAKES IN WRITING. GOOD JOB.
