The Documentary: An Inconvenient Truth

The Documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” take us around the world and makes us realize what harm we are to our doing to our mother planet. The movie starts with the voice-over of Al Gore explaining the nature around us. The first concept explained in this documentary is Global Warming. Al Gore explains with the help of animation how the ozone layer is thickening and leading to increase in the temperature. Global warming leads to extreme increase and decrease in the temperature causing ecological imbalance in the environment. The reason of global warming are we and not the animals but due to global warming they are also affected. The documentary also states that out of the 15 hottest years, 14 hottest years are from the 21st century

The patterns of farms back then were constant but now they are changing rapidly. The documentary shows us the how the ice-shelf on the arctic-circle broken and the permafrost lead to trees falling, building collapsing and a lot of structural damage. These patterns have caused subsequent decrease in the Alaska winter tundra travel days from 225 in 1970’s to approximately 125 in 2002. The ice cap on the north-pole has also decreased by 40%. The reason for this rapid decrease in the ice cap on the poles is that when the sun rays hit the ice 90% of it is reflected back, but when the rays hit the water 90% of sun rays are trapped which in turn melts the water-based ice. This has caused ecological imbalance and affected tundra animals. As compared to ice age these changes in the environment are happening rapidly. The seasons are also impacted due to global warming. The scenic Switzerland also have reduced frost days in the last decade and on the other side the number of invasive species have gone up. There is not only an increase in the vectors like mosquito, rodents, tsetse flies, lice, algae, bats, fleas, snails , etc. but also many new diseases like Ebola, arena virus, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome have emerged. These virus are dangerous in nature. Not only the humans are in problem but so are the Animals, Fishes, and
