Summary of An Inconvenient Truth

The video is a documentary video on Albert Algore’s campaign on global warming. Algore is trying to make the issue of global warming a recognized, serious problem worldwide.

Global warming is the result of the pollutants that increases the thickness of the thin atmosphere layer.

Normally, the sun waves enter the atmosphere around the earth causing it to heat. A part of the entered radiation radiates back outside the earth, but some of the radiation is trapped by the atmosphere layer. This is a good natural phenomenon because it keeps the earth’s temperature in the safe range.

The risk is when the pollutants thicken the atmosphere layer around the earth which consequently traps more radiation causing the increased temperature of the earth.

This ultimately causes many serious problems to the environment. The ice in the poles melts as a result of the increased temperature of the earth. Also many destructive hurricanes formed and some took place where they shouldn’t be. Additionally, the coral reefs which are the home of many creatures in the oceans are dying, just to mention few consequences.
