Everyone must watch ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ - Davis
Guggenheim’s film on a moving presentation by Al Gore. Gore makes a credible
argument for common sense and ethical intervention in reversing the harmful
effects of global warming through personal and political accountability. He makes
a compelling case that global warming is real, man-made, and its effects will
be catastrophic if we don’t act now.
Gore presents a wide range of facts in a persuasive
way showing animations of ancient glaciers retreat over the years... Literally
before our eyes, we see fading rivers, declining species, diminishing
rainforests, vanishing land… all hard facts from peer-reviewed scientific
journals that deflate the humbuggery of oil-company-supported PR ‘think tanks’
about ‘natural cycles’.
For Gore, global warming is not a political issue;
it is ‘a moral issue.’ He shows that the pick between economical and ecological
well-being is a false dilemma. While what he says is not news, Gore puts it all
together in such a devastating way that the impact is enormous. While the
mainstream media may continue to insist that there is no scientific consensus
on global warming, presenters like Gore and Guggenheim expose the inconvenient
truth.
‘An Inconvenient Truth’ does what all great films
should: it leaves the viewer shaken, involved and inspired. However, it is not
a gloomy film. Though his forecast is scary, Gore does not leave us in despair.
And that is the real truth… we can save our world by searching for alternatives
and initiating actions to sustain our Mother Earth! But first we must face the
inconvenient truth!!
May we BE BETTER at facing the inconvenient truth...
May we adopt actions that will bear sustainable fruit!
May we adopt actions that will bear sustainable fruit!
