CONCLUSION

But we can lead this documentary to a complementary discussion about several topics.

Global warming ongoing rate of climb is 0.2℃/10years 

CO2 annual average 400ppm (by WMO)

The Antarctic ozone layer recovery . That is starts to return to its original state

 

Sea level temperature increases for 0.38℃/year

 

Sea worths more acidification :  26% than 1880, now sea pH is 8.0

 

CO2 emission quanties increasing rate is reduced (0.1% at 2015)

 

Renewable energy using rate which increases year after year

What spoils the whole thing is the last quarter of an hour, when Al Gore ventures to put forward proposals. His suggestion is that the Americans will have nothing to sacrifice from their way of life in order to avoid the terrible catastrophes he has tried to show us.

Buying a hybrid car, energy-saving light bulbs, and developing wind turbines is certainly a notable improvement. But even with a lot of technology and political will, a drastic reduction in overall energy consumption can not be avoided.

The solutions part of the documentary is not enough and doesn't bring enough information and real advices to fight against the global warming.

Al Gore brags himself several times around the world by plane to present his lecture. Did he calculate how much of his air travel has emitted CO2 into the atmosphere? A person who makes a Paris-New York first class emits 2436 kg of carbon equivalent.

Keep in mind that old habits + New technology result in Altered consequences. The global warming is one of the fastest things happening in our Earth's history. Not being seen is not we can't see! We have to face the problems and try to solve them !
