Is it difficult to ignore, or unwilling to face it?

An Inconvenient Truth

This film starts from global warming and touches many aspects such as morality, science, economy, etc., but I think it still has to come down to human nature in the end. It is full of problems of political manipulation and capital mastering the media. Facing climate change in the 21st century, it is difficult for people to exert their moral power. This problem is so big that people have many excuses to choose to ignore it. After all, the power of individuals seems to be difficult Really make a difference. I am engaged in political work, and I am more emotional about the details in the film, and there is resistance from all directions in the society. Sometimes I wonder, is it possible for humans to notice changes in the earth? The lifespan of human beings is destined to be short-sighted. Human beings have been on the earth for 200,000 years. The merger of this generation and the next generation will only witness 120 revolutions of the earth, which is just a drop in the ocean in thousands of years. I can't find a piece of ice floes when I see polar bears wiggling their limbs constantly. Humans have secretions from the corners of their eyes, but examining people's daily words and deeds are nothing but crocodile tears. Gore mentioned that his father stopped growing tobacco because of an unforgettable loss. Watching his loved one being tortured by pneumonia, his life was passing day by day, he suddenly realized. Great cruelty, but it seems that the only way to warn human beings of forgetfulness and shortsightedness, is there any other way we can go? In the documentary, there are clips of Gore's speech at Tsinghua University. Thinking that more than 10 years have passed, and seeing that there are many students beside them who firmly believe that climate change is a conspiracy of European and American countries, I feel more and more that the translation of "The Inconvenient Truth" is not expressive enough. "The truth that you don't want to face" and "the truth that you hate" may be able to let us feel the cry of this film.

    Their objective is to reposition global warming as theory rather than fact. This has happened before. ()

    Compared with "HOME", it's too bad. It's good for listening practice.

An Inconvenient Truth quotes

  • Al Gore: I've probably given this slideshow a thousand times. I would say at least a thousand times. Nashville to Knoxville to Aspen and Sundance. Los Angeles and San Francisco. Portland, Minneapolis. Boston, New Haven, London, Brussels, Stockholm, Helsinki, Vienna, Munich, Italy and Spain and China, South Korea, Japan. I guess the thing I've spent more time on than anything else in this slideshow is trying to identify all those things in people's minds that serve as obstacles to them understanding this. A-And whenever I feel like I've identified an obstacle, I try to take it apart, roll it away. Move it. Demolish it, blow it up. I set myself a goal. Communicate this real clearly. The only way I know to do it is city by city, person by person, family by family. And I have faith that pretty soon, enough minds are changed that we cross a... a threshold.

  • Al Gore: I went up to the North Pole. I went under that ice cap in a nuclear submarine that surfaced through the ice like this.

    [a clip of the submarine surfacing is shown]

    Al Gore: Since they started patrolling in 1957, they have gone under the ice and measured with their radar looking upwards to measure how thick it is, because they can only surface in areas where it's three and a half feet thick or less. So they have kept a meticulous record, and they wouldn't release it because it was national security. I went up there in order to persuade them to release it, and they did. And here's what that record shows. Starting in 1970, there was a precipitous drop-off in the amount and extent and thickness of the Arctic ice cap. It has diminished by 40% in 40 years. And there are now two major studies showing that within the next 50 to 70 years, in summertime it will be completely gone. Now, you might say "Why is that a problem?", and "How could the Arctic ice cap actually melt so quickly?". When the sun's rays hit the ice, more than 90% of it bounces off right back into space like a mirror. But when it hits the open ocean, more than 90% is absorbed. And so, as the surrounding water gets warmer, it speeds up the melting of the ice. Right now, the Arctic ice cap acts like a giant mirror. All the sun's rays bounce off, more than 90%. It keeps the Earth cooler. But as it melts, and the open ocean receives that sun's energy instead, more than 90% is absorbed. So there is a faster buildup of heat here, at the North Pole, in the Arctic Ocean, and the Arctic generally, than anywhere else on the planet. That's not good for creatures like polar bears who depend on the ice. A new scientific study shows that, for the first time, they're finding polar bears that have actually drowned, swimming long distances, up to 60 miles, to find the ice. And they didn't find that before. But what does it mean to us? To look at a vast expanse of open water at the top of our world that used to be covered by ice. We ought to care a lot, because it has planetary effects.
