An Inconvenient Truth


I watch this movie, "An inconvenient truth" today. It is a documentary movie about global warming. When you heard the word "global warming", you might think i want to talk about the same old things when we used to do our essay title
'pollution' during school day. But, how much do you know about global warming and how serious those consequences are?
Have your ever thought about the worst things that would happen to us which would wide out humanity or at least kill a great numbers of people. you might say meteor, nuclear war, plague (like bird flu), biological weapon and terrorist attack. Yes, all this examples are indeed real but we are yet to really feel it coming. But this treat is now right under your feet.
An example from the movie, if you put a frog into the pot with boiling water, it will immediately jump out from the pot. But if you put a frog into a pot with cold water and slowly heat up the water. The frog wont really feel the heat coming and it will die. Global warming is similar to this scenario, if we still act ignorantly, we will end up like the frog.
When will we feel the conseqences of global warming? In 10 years, 20 years or 50 years? No, it is already happening now. We saw bigger storms, more floods, hotter summer, wider desert, stronger hurricane and more animals extint. Scientis had collect data like temperature, Carbon dioxide concentration and thicknest of ice at Artic Ocean, They all have break through the scale barrier that earth have mantain for a few hundred thousands years ago and we only need a few decades to rewrite all this records. The top 10 highest yearly temperature recorded in thousand year, all of them came from the last 14 years and the highest ever recorded is in 2005.
Want to know why 100 million people around the world have to move else where? (we are probably among them) Want to know why more and more polar bears drowning? Why Hurricanes happen in places never have hurricane before? Why some scientist and politician deny the potential of this treath?
The stage of the problem is alarming, We start to see all those bad things happening. If we dont act now, we are too late. We dont want to see our children blaming us for ruining their planet.
