Thanks to professor Berghoff’s recommendation in class last Thursday about “An inconvenient truth”. I rented this from one of those Safeway’s movies kiosks for $ 1.49 and watched last night. It was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. I was shocked at some of the images that were collected over the years. I had no idea that the impact of global warming is so catastrophic. The technology available to get some of these images was simply amazing to me. I also had no idea how passionate Al Gore was about the issue until the video. I gained more respect for the man seeing how knowledgeable he was. I learned a tremendous amount of information in a 90-minute documentary than I could ever learn in a science class. The amount of data they collected to show us was just simply amazing. I can see the political impact on our earth when our President does not want to do anything about it. The clip where G.W. Bush called Regan crazy for talking about global warming during Regan’s campaign made me realize how ignorant people can be. I was frustrated and felt responsible as a U.S. citizen because our country is responsible for most of the pollution. I used to want an SUV after I graduate college, but now I have no problem buying one of those hybrid cars to contribute to saving our planet. I want to learn more about this topic and see how i can help improve our current "earth" situation. I highly recommend everyone to watch this movie.
