"An Inconvenient Truth" is better translated as "Inconvenient Truth". After Gore lost to Bush, his main job for so many years was to spread the environmental protection ideas carried by this documentary. Chengdu is now more than 20 degrees at noon, and anyone can question the fact that global warming is a sure-fire fact. The content of carbon dioxide is the reason. The scientific community agrees, the US government strongly disagrees, and the media industry naturally disagrees. As for the public, people together are all idiots, and it doesn't matter whether they agree or not. The most rogue country may be North Korea, and the biggest rogue country must be the United States. If the Tokyo Protocol does not sign with Australia, it will emit carbon dioxide indiscriminately. The degree of its idiots and idiots will be innumerable to describe the conservative estimates of human beings in the next century. The one night frozen in "The Day After Tomorrow" is a dramatic fiction, but it is indeed possible that the whole of Europe will turn to permafrost within ten years - because it has happened in history (of course, human prehistory). As an admirer of "Parasitic Beasts", and as a person who puts the whole human being and the individual person in the two extremes of the value sequence, this film once again makes me sigh how much the individual life community will face at the lower stage. A crisis of stupidity. Gore is dishonest. He avoided the most crucial question, which is actually the core of the most essential but also the least metaphysical philosophical guarantee of environmental protection - can the economy and the environment be harmonious? His answer was yes. Based on his in-depth research, he should clearly understand that he is lying. Looking back at the cornerstone of our modern civilization, what is the most basic belief that we pity for? natural human rights. The sky has been blackened by people, and it is still giving people sacred rights, ridiculous! As long as people still take themselves and only themselves seriously, then the economy is the only god after all gods abdicate, human rights are guaranteed by the economy, human rights are the economy, and belief in natural human rights is belief in the economy. At a time when every dimension of thought is falling apart, only the admiration and love for human beings are never questioned and revised. It seems that human beings have always been and will always be "so different". Here all the "orthodox" Thoughts are all in harmony, in harmony - courting death.

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.
