An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth - Al Gore

An Inconvenient Truth is a movie which talks about the global warming and climate changes directed by Davis Guggenheim and presented by Albert Arnold "Al" Gore. The idea of the movie come from a slide show directed by talented people in Hollywood. Actually, the film was so long it took over an hour to reach the end. But it was so interesting to me, because Al Gore is a good presenter and he is a funny guy too. Al Gore talked about the huge increasing number of the population. This problem leads the governments to produce more power like electricity and that of course will damage the environment. Because in many countries they burn oil and gases for electricity. Even more important for our growing number is that the technologies we use now are thousands of times more powerful than the ones our grandparents used. Also Al Gore said that we are in a different relationship with our planet and all of us take responsibility for it. The good news is we can become much more productive and raise our chance of living in a right way as we cut down on all this pollution. I think this presentation covered all the things about the global warming and this movie deserves the Nobel Prize. I heard from a different video in YouTube that Bush would not see this movie but that’s why Al Gore wrote the book.

Riches await as Earth’s icy north melts

Denmark and Canada are fighting each other to claim Hans Island which has a good position on the map. The reasons are to race for oil, fish, diamonds and shipping routes. The ice cap is warming faster than any other place in the world because of the greenhouse gases. This problem will affect especially the polar bears and the people who depend on the frozen water to drink. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that there is 25 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas in the Arctic. This survey made the governments fight for these undiscovered areas. Climate change will make sailing to and from cold countries easier and faster than before. However, the Russian ship was the first to reach the North Pole without an icebreaker’s help. There are some old studies which said that the ice in North Pole will melt in 100 years, but the latest studies say it will take 10-15 years to melt. Canada and Denmark have repeatedly sent warships to Hans island to make their presence felt, but there's no risk of a shooting war. Both sides are resolved to settle the problem peacefully.
Main idea:
Governments are racing to reach undiscovered areas to get the oil and gas. Global warming helps countries to reach undiscovered cold places. Canada and Denmark resolved their problems peacefully.
Opinion:
I think countries must think of a better idea than fighting for oil and gas. If they share their money together and build a huge project they will definitely get huge profits. The oil will affect the global warming faster than everything else.

Task 2 ( Global Warming )

The global warming was in the past like a story to tell the children before they sleep. Nowadays it has become a main article in everybody’s mind. Even when you talk about normal things in our life it will include the global warming. We must find a way to put an end to this nightmare. Actually, there are some good steps that some governments are starting to produce. One of these steps is called “The green project”. Until now we didn’t see any benefit for this project, because the pollution is increasing every day. “Natural disasters are not all due to global warming” our teacher said. He gave us an example about the tsunami; it was caused by a volcanic eruption in Indonesia, not by the global warming. I think that the weather in the UAE was different 30 years ago; I don’t mean that there was snow here. But the temperature is increasing caused by the cars and manufactures. Also I think that this problem will be solved by growing more trees in UAE.
