This snow season in Beijing is particularly short because it is so warm. Before he finished speaking, there was a snowstorm that paralyzed traffic in many parts of North and Northeast China. This reminds me of the worry of the owner of the Alpine ski resort, and the sigh of Stone when he talks about New Orleans.

Not long ago, I did a topic on global warming. This time, after watching Gore's speech, I learned more about this issue. Despite accusations that Gore himself is a bombastic hypocrite with a staggering amount of electricity in his life, I still think he's amazing. Just one simple question: Can you maintain such enthusiasm and belief in a problem for decades? Let alone imagine that someone in the same high position in our country can do this.

"He has done an excellent job of describing such a problem with the seriousness of an actual scientist." Michael Mann, a well-known American meteorologist on global warming, told China Business News In the interview, he commented on the documentary, "He did not exaggerate the possible impact of climate change. He was the first American politician to ask such an important issue for the public to face."

The accuracy of this documentary is obtained Acknowledged by many meteorologists, the Associated Press did a survey of more than 100 meteorologists, and 19 experts who had seen the documentary responded that Gore had the scientific message right, and that the world is indeed getting worse. The hotter, the man-made disaster due to burning oil is in the process.

McEwen, who knows Gore very well, said that in the past 20 years, Gore has been constantly communicating, discussing and consulting with environmental scientists, trying to understand this issue in depth. When he sat down with the scientists to explore the question after the film, Gore knew more about the details than the documentary shows.

In the subtitles at the end of the film, let's see what is the national condition of the United States and what can be done with Chinese characteristics:

    Mark Twain: What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. it's what we know for sure that just ain't so. (It's not ignorance that gets us into trouble, it's fallacious assertions that seem right.) // This is the best textbook on the subject of global warming. Most of the time, people are indifferent even when they hear calluses on their ears, and they don't know how to regret it when the sea water drowns their noses.

    It's hard to say whether this is a political show or an environmental movement. I don't think it's qualified for a documentary. It's more like a TV version of a campaign speech. Anyway, Gore's slideshows with an Apple laptop are still amazing.

An Inconvenient Truth quotes

  • Al Gore: If Greenland broke up and melted, or if half of Greenland and half of West Antarctica broke up and melted, this is what would happen...

    Al Gore: Here's Manhattan. This is the WTC memorial site. And after the horrible events of 9/11, we said, "Never again." But this is what would happen to Manhattan.

    [animation shows how sea level rise would affect Manhattan, flooding the WTC site]

    Al Gore: They can measure this precisely, just as the scientists could predict precisely how much water would breach the levees in New Orleans. The area where the WTC Memorial is to be located would be underwater.

  • Al Gore: If we accept that this problem is real, maybe it's just too big to do anything about. And, you know, there are a lot of people who go straight from denial to despair without pausing on the intermediate step of actually doing something about the problem.
