This is a documentary featuring Al Gore's speech on rising global temperatures. Please note: this is a documentary. Not entertainment!!

Someone rated this film on the movie reviews section of a movie website in my city They gave it a low score of 3 (score scale: 0-10). Maybe they didn't watch the movie seriously, maybe it wasn't the entertainment blockbuster they needed. But I don't think they deserve to be rated!

The autumn of this year (2006) is no longer "autumn and crisp", and some are just the residual heat of summer that cannot be dissipated for a long time. Now is the third day after the "beginning of winter" in the twenty-fourth festival, and the weather has only begun to change a little bit. Autumn. This is a very tense thing. Is it as the film says, in the next 50 years, the earth will become hotter! What will our children do? What kind of a life will they live in? In the natural environment? And for those young people who have not yet started a family, even if they have children, what about their future? They were born to allow them to withstand the high temperature we have left them?

I don't want this Winter cannot appear. I hope that the four seasons are normal and that we can breathe pure air! And we must work hard to change all this! We really need enough courage and hard work!

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.
