An Inconvenient Truth

In February 2007, "An Inconvenient Truth" won the 79th Academy Award for Best Documentary. There are many versions of the translated Chinese name, "The Truth That Can't Be Ignored", "The Inconvenient Truth", "The Unwilling to Face". The Truth, The Troubling Truth, The Desperate Truth, I would rather think it would be more appropriate to translate it as The Inconvenient Truth.

To put it bluntly, this is just a speech documentary by Al Gore, who ran for US President in 2000 and lost to Bush. The last time I really paid attention to him was when Engadget reported on his office a few days ago that he exaggerated three 30-inch apple LCDs. The events of the monitor, obviously this documentary does not have such entertainment.

Leaving aside whether this dude is environmentally friendly with such extravagant equipment, as a former vice president and veteran environmentalist, he has to tell us some obvious issues that no one cares about: climate issues, global warming. What makes us curious is that this thing is like an elephant in the room, everyone sees it, but everyone doesn't want to point it out, pretending it doesn't exist. Why in the end, why is the excess emission of carbon dioxide causing global warming, why the earth's temperature has reached the highest level in 650,000 years, why polar bears are drowning because they can't find land, and species are accelerating extinction at a rate of 1,000 times, why In 2003, the European continent was killed by a heat wave of 35,000 people. Why will many coastal areas including the Maldives and Shanghai gradually be submerged within a few decades? Why do the politicians and the bigwigs of the oil company stop the mouths of scientists. We would rather believe that this is sensational, that this is a prophecy, but unfortunately, all this is now an inconvenient truth.

To quote a paragraph at the end: A friend who graduated with a master's degree from the National University of Singapore said to me: ""Don't know too much, see too much, it will only make yourself more miserable. Our life is already very miserable, isn't it? "Maybe he is right. Fortunately, we are not the most miserable generation. The next generation will suffer more than us. Their pain comes from work and life, population and social competition, high temperature, natural disasters and more. More updates on infectious diseases…
