An Inconvenient Truth


An Inconvenient Truth shows Al Gore and his travels in support of his thinking to educate the public about the severity of the climate changes. The film closely follows a Keynote presentation (dubbed "the slide show") that Gore presented throughout the people. It intersperses Gore's collection of data and predictions regarding climate change and its potential for disaster with Gore's life story about his sister who died because of lung cancer. In the slide show, Gore shows the scientific realities of climate changes, talks about the economics and politics that are connected with global warming, and describes the results he believes global climate change will produce if the amount of human-generated greenhouse gases is not dramatically reduced in the very near future. A main point of the film is his example of the annual temperature and CO2 levels for the last 650,000 years in Antarctic ice core samples.

I think that the movie is very useful. There are many excellent figures and information, and it talks about the realities of global warming. The solution is in our hands, as is well known and the solution is not to pollute the environment. The major industrial countries have to consider this matter well and see this movie to see the truth and what’s happening in the world.

global warming


The global warming is one of the important issues nowadays. Global warming means that the temperature of the earth is increasing. One of the main reasons of temperature increase is the greenhouse gases. Before the twentieth century there was no increase in temperature, but in the middle of the twentieth century the temperature began to increase because of gases from the factories and cars. It is expected that the temperature over the next fifty or one hundred years will increase; the earth may be hotter than millions of years before. That means the global warming will affect the plants, weather, animals and humans, so why are we cutting down forests? Burning fuels? Although we know this is bad for our planet we still do the same thing. The results of global warming are sea levels are increasing and cities along the coast may be flooded. High temperatures may cause forests to die and food crops to fail.

About my self

My name is Saeed Ali Al Shehhi. I am 20 years old. I was born in Abu Dhabi in 1989; I am a student at ADMC. I like to travel a lot and know about other cultures. I am the third son in the family. When I was a child I dreamed of becoming a famous actor; of course it did not happen. I dreamt about this because I was very interested in Indian films. I traveled to India several times and enjoyed it very much. India is really a very beautiful country and it has a lot of scenic places, museums and archaeological places. India is known as one of the oldest civilizations. In my free time I play football or play table tennis and often watch television. I wish to speak French because it is spoken by many people around the world. Many African countries speak French until this day. I hope that I will go on a tour around the world and visiting places I want to visit. I want to enjoy the life. It is my nature to help people in need. I still remember the day I went with my father when I met Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and will not forget that no matter how I lived; you felt satisfied and very glad when you meet him.

In our blog project, Hedley is encouraging us to think critically and analytically about the issues of climate change and global warming. . It is very important issue because it’s connected with our lives and our planet where we live. In my blog I will explain how to reduce climate change and global warming.
