An Inconvenient Truth is an Oscar® winning documentary which aims to create discussion and awareness about climate change.
I can’t remember when exactly I became interested in environmental ethics. I think it was due to a combination of a few things. It was definitely something which was gradual and came over the years, but when An Inconvenient Truth came along while I was still at university, it was something I was interested in seeing.
Directed by Davis Guggenheim, with Al Gore presenting scientific evidence supporting what so many others still fail to accept as a reality; that rising temperatures brought on by our industrial output since the Industrial Revolution is causing polar ice-caps to melt, sea levels to rise and drought throughout many parts of the world. Delivered as a lecture with a slideshow, Gore’s research and findings make you sit up and take notice of a world out of control.
Are we responsible for worldwide weather changes such as the shift in hurricane patterns, genetic mutations, extinctions, plant and choral life, snow fall and sea currents? Gore’s primary aim in this is to argue that global warming is not a scientific or political issue, but a moral one, that it is our responsibility to do something about it, because we can. As one of the better candidates in the 2000 Presidential Elections, Gore’s natural speaking makes the talk-heavy documentary easy to follow and he mixes in stories from his life to engage the viewer and connect the science.
It might not be filled with effects like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012, but that’s a good thing. Void of any distractions, this is a serious look at how our anthropocentric view of the world needs to change very fast. An Inconvenient Truth is also a book written by Al Gore that brings together research, charts and photographs to support the argument about climate change and the dangers which we now face.
