Reflection - An extremely inconvenient truth.


Watching this documentary was such an eye opener. I had no idea that they have been monitoring the earth’s carbon dioxide levels have been monitored since the late 1950s and the results show that the levels were constantly increasing but there has only been a strong initiative in the last 10 years to actually do something about it. It was alarming to see what the carbon dioxide project is for 50 years from now.

I had no idea that ocean temperature affected tropical storms but now thinking about it it really does make sense. In the past 6 or 7 years there have been so many and so much damage has been done. It’s really quite scary to think of how many and what the magnitude of them will be.
To think that people want to reposition global warming as a theory rather than fact is absolutely ridiculous. People really need to start taking responsibility for their actions and start doing something try and counteract it.

Of all the things I’ve watched and been exposed to in this course this has definitely made the biggest impression on me!! I really hope that I start to rethink my actions and try to decrease y carbon footprint.  Al Gore is such a switch on guy; I wonder how different things would be if he won the election instead of George Bush
