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:

An Inconvenient Truth quotes

  • Al Gore: We have the ability to do this. Each one of us is a cause of global warming, but each of us can make choices to change that. With the things we buy, the electricity we use, the cars we drive, we can make choices to bring our individual carbon emissions to zero. The solutions are in our hands. We just have to have the determination to make them happen. Are we gonna be left behind as the rest of the world moves forward?

    [on the screen behind him, a list of countries appears]

    Al Gore: All of these nations have ratified Kyoto. There are only two advanced nations in the world that have not ratified Kyoto, and we are one of them. The other is Australia.

    [on the screen, a map of the United States is shown]

    Al Gore: Luckily, several states are taking the initiative. The nine northeastern states have banded together on reducing CO2. Uh, California and Oregon are taking the initiative. Pennsylvania is exercising leadership on solar power and wind power. And U.S. cities are stepping up to the plate.

    [on the screen, a list of cities appears, to applause]

    Al Gore: One after the other, we have seen all of these cities pledge to take on global warming.

  • Al Gore: Ultimately, this question comes down to this. Are we, as Americans, capable of doing great things even though they are difficult? Are we capable of rising above ourselves and above history? Well, the record indicates that we do have that capacity. We formed a nation, we fought a revolution, and brought something new to this earth, a free nation guaranteeing individual liberty. America made a moral decision that slavery was wrong, and that we could not be half free and half slave. We, as Americans, decided that of course women should have the right to vote. We defeated totalitarianism and won a war in the Pacific and the Atlantic simultaneously. We desegregated our schools. And we cured fearsome diseases like polio. We landed on the moon! The very example of what's possible when we are at our best. We worked together in a completely bipartisan way to bring down communism. We have even solved a global environmental crisis before, the hole in the stratospheric ozone layer. This was said to be an impossible problem to solve, because it's a global environmental challenge requiring cooperation from every nation in the world. But we took it on. And the United States took the lead in phasing out the chemicals that caused that problem. So now we have to use our political processes in our democracy, and then decide to act together to solve those problems. But we have to have a different perspective on this one. It's different from any problem we have ever faced before.
