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

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.

    Environmental protection is not just a personal issue, it is a political issue, a historical issue, and a moral issue. Don't be suspicious, don't belittle yourself. There is always a moment you will remember forever. Start going green. . . Join the team to protect the planet. The earth is already fragile.

    Best documentary I've seen this year. Heavy fact, I always thought that the sea level rise to submerge Shanghai would not happen in my lifetime, after watching this film, with the current trend, it is hard to say.

An Inconvenient Truth quotes

  • Al Gore: I don't really consider this a political issue, I consider it to be a moral issue.

  • Al Gore: You see that pale, blue dot? That's us. Everything that has ever happened in all of human history, has happened on that pixel. All the triumphs and all the tragedies, all the wars all the famines, all the major advances... it's our only home. And that is what is at stake, our ability to live on planet Earth, to have a future as a civilization. I believe this is a moral issue, it is your time to seize this issue, it is our time to rise again to secure our future.
