What I Learned from An Inconvenient Truth

  An Inconvenient Truth is a film I will probably never forget about.  It is very influential and it certainly got to me.  It made me see the world a lot differently.  I knew about global warming and knew it was harmful, but I never expected it to be anywhere as bad as I witnessed from the movie.  I thought it was a minor issue that could be controlled and that we wouldn't have to really worry about.  I thought I personally didn't have to worry about it because I don't live in the arctic.  I was very wrong as we will all be affected in the next few decades.  All the statistics that Al Gore shared prove that we will all be affected very soon.  The coast of Florida is still expected to be underwater in the next 80 years and that is a very scary thought to bear in mind.  It's also horrible that the big companies and the government tried to ignore and deny global warming.  To think that we could've started to prevent it years before we actually started paying attention to it.  It's just unfortunate that money controls the world and people prefer that over a healthy planet.  Things are changing for the better, luckily.  We must make sure we continue to try to deplete global warming, or we will pay the ultimate consequences in the end.
