Well we all know that the Earth is going to die someday, a million years may me two when we would probably become one of the stars in the universe. This film tells you its going to happen right now, tomorrow may be day after. This documentary about global warming shakes you from head to toe to the last atom your body is made up of, unless of course, you have a choice not to be human.
Narrated and demostrated by the once U.S Vicepresident Al Gore the film chronicles the chronicle effect of global warming our generation next is going to be facing if we do not do anything about it now. The window of now being maximum ten years. Beyond that the damages are going to be irrepairable.
The film is essentially a visual[power point] presentation on global warming, very different and challenging way of telling a story and yet making it interesting and hooking the audience till the very end. That main presentation is intercut every now and then with the life of Al Gore, the life he has lead, fought, won, lost. His thirty years dedicated involvement to the issue of global warming, and still raring to go. His reasons for getting involved with the issue [ he almost lost his son, he lost is sister due to smoking, the irony being tobacco was a family business, his close connection with the environment during his upbringing]
The film highlights the hard core facts of how we are contributing every day to global warming. population, pollution[ increased use of cars, cutting down of trees, increased food electricity any form of consumption] is destroying nature, putting pressure on it.
A simple formula will explain it better. the sun rays fall on the earth- some is absorbed other is reflected back into the atmosphere. Now due to thickened blanket of co2 already forming above us, the rays get caught in the blanket and more rays get caught and further more every day, due to which the temperatures are increasing like hot oven. And we are going to be melting soon.
The film reflects the chunks of icy mountains falling down like trees being axed. Its shuddering. If greenland or Antarctica melts, the sea level in the entire world is going to rise by 20 feet, which means regions on the Eastern side are going to go down the water by a sizeable amount. There are milion other issues demonstarated graphically by Al Gore. Its a must watch film for every single person existing itn he world. WE TALK ABOUT AIDS, ABOUT CANCER, ABOUT TERRORISM, ABOUT MILLION OTHER THINGS, BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THERE WOULD BE NO ONE LEFT TO TALK ABOUT!
The film also tells about the things we can do in order to get the the Earth back in a stable state. So go watch it.
Other effects of the global warming added by my data are:
.Climate change could drive a million of the world's species to extinction as soon as 2050, a scientific study says.
.The United Nations says the prospect is also a threat to the billions of people who rely on Nature for essential goods, food, shelter and medicines for their survival. 12000, species - plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, butterflies and other invertebrates - are expected to move in response to changing temperatures and climate.
. John Lanchbery, of the UK's Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, has studied the science and diplomacy of climate change for many years. He has told BBC News Online: "It would appear there is really nothing we can do to avoid at least some extinctions. We are bound to be near to the study's minimum scenarios, even if we can avoid the higher ones ." which means we can avoid the higher disasters
. "If one million species become extinct... it is not just the plant and animal kingdoms but alsoThe the beauty of the planet that will suffer.
.Greenland's ice sheet could disappear within the next 1,000 years if global warming continues at its present rate, a report in Nature magazine suggests
.Of Hawaii's 125 endemic plants (species found nowhere else) added to the Red List this year, 85 are threatened
"The Red List tells us that human activities are leading to a swathe of extinctions that could make these islands ecologically and aesthetically barren."
. Among the countries with the highest numbers of threatened birds and animals are Indonesia, India, Brazil, China and Peru. Plants are declining fast in Ecuador, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil and Sri Lanka.
. European researchers say last summer was the hottest on the continent for at least five centuries
