Thin atmosphere (suddenly, some people say that there will be precursors to disasters, and it will be good to protect the environment together at that time. But have you ever thought about it, in case when a disaster occurs suddenly, the air suddenly drops to minus 100 degrees, all kinds of volcanoes Explosion, hurricane tornado, ground collapse, flooding the city. It's only in a few hours, and all human beings have been wiped out) I told my mother two days ago that I feel that human beings are going to be wiped out, my mother said : "That's also the future, it's none of my business." I believe most people think this way. Anyway, the extinction of human beings is also hundreds of years later, and it has nothing to do with me. The only relationship is the living environment of their offspring. So, people don't act. It has nothing to do with you that the disaster will not happen to you. that what we take for granted might not be here for our children. (Those things that are now accustomed to, our descendants don't even have the chance to see) made me understand something from one aspect: Chai Jing is also because of her own daughter, who inspired her motherly love and reflection. Al Gore also suddenly realized something because of his son, because of his fatherly love. They all love their children, and none of them want their loved ones to live in a world and society with a bad environment. They stand up for them and for all mankind. yes! When can I still be like when I was a child, the ground is still thick with ice in March, and I slip and fall when I walk. This year, there will be at most three snowfalls, at most a slight layer. "In the United States, political will is a 'renewable' resource". America, America! You are a country that wastes resources and produces garbage. Suddenly I wonder what your country is like.

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.
