Reactions to an Inconvenient Truth:

As we began to watch this film, I found myself to be very engaged in all that was being shown and stated. The graphs showing carbon dioxide emissions and the connection to an increase in temperature was very interesting. I knew that global warming was very problematic but I don't think I ever realized the extent. When he used that ladder to increase his height to reach the predicted global temperature and carbon dioxide concentrations, I was truly taken aback. I also liked how he connected what he was saying to tangible things or what we can physically see like the glaciers melting or the rising sea levels. Or even how coral reefs are becoming bleached and we are losing our valuable biodiversity. He definitely put it all into perspective giving reasons why we should care and believe in the existence of global warming. I admire how he incorporated scientific data and his arguments were incredibly compelling. I would honestly love to finish watching the film in my free time. I thought the film represented the urgently to act now before it is all too late. I just wish more people could watch this film and truly understand the importance of doing our part so that future generations can appreciate what we all have.
