An Inconvenient Truth

This documentary deals with the increased human influence on global warming. The documentary is a very educational source in reaction to climate change and the affects that have been put on to the environment in the past decades. Al Gore a former runner for president explains some of his research and findings due to the affect of Co2 gas and the relation it has to climate change and global warming. Through a number of charts, graphs, photographs and many witnesses he helps bring up and uphold his argument. After watching this documentary I was a little stunned on the affects of some certain areas for example glacier struck areas in Peru and South America just melting away at a drastic pace. It wasn’t just the southern hemisphere but he also had some examples of similar affects in the northern hemispheres where the ice caps of Nepal are going through the same process. Therefore it is evident that global warming is a global phenomenon not just a study or affect that came out of one region of the planet.

An Inconvenient truth is a documentary that helps raise awareness in the classroom in regards for finding a proper solution for this issue. The documentary itself is packed with evidence. Them being true or not, believable or unbelievable to certain scientific groups are a separate issue but there is enough evidence to comprehend and realise that there is something different happening in the world today. It is a great source for the classroom in these upcoming generations to learn and understand on how the future will develop if action isn’t taken at a serious level.

Studying Industrial Design this video is quite important into understanding and seeing the specific changes to the planet caused by climate change. Every designer has their own understanding of climate change and its causes being false or real. A video like this is necessary to watch to expand a little bit more knowledge on the subject and decide from then on because a video like this brings allot of insight and suggestion on what could happen if we disregard or disagree with something that is pending in time.
