Yesterday afternoon, I probably drank the wind, and my stomach hurt, so I just watched a movie under the quilt after eating. Babel was deceived by js again, not the disc version.

So I remembered "An Inconvenient Truth" that my colleague handcuffed me. Former Vice President of the United States Al Gore starred in person, speaking about the problem of global warming, which I never realized was such a serious problem, when he compared the photos around the world and all the numbers were rising badly. What impresses me the most is the melting of the Arctic glaciers due to global warming, and the polar bears finally drowned in the sea after swimming 60 miles because they couldn't find a piece of ice to inhabit. All around is an endless sea. The scourge of people, and ultimately endanger the animals.

There are also a lot of Chinese scenes in the film, including highways in Beijing, meetings of Chinese leaders, Gore's speech at Tsinghua University, etc., and several statistical charts are displayed, including statistical data about China. China's exposure is second only to the United States and Antarctica.

What moved me is that Gore has been committed to global speeches, calling for the severity and solutions of global warming around the world, hoping that people all over the world can work together to improve the environment. Although he pointed out that the United States is the main culprit of global warming, just look at the foggy sky in Beijing every day to know that China has also "contributed" itself to the trend of global warming. I still remember that when I was a child, I liked to see the white clouds in the sky. I didn’t expect that in just 10 years, it would be such a luxury to see the white clouds.

The film ends with an old African proverb, pray every day, pray that they have the courage to change their circumstances, and act while you pray. In fact, environmental protection is not far away from us, we can't ask others to do what, that is the government's business, but we can work hard to be an environmentalist. Start with the little things around you, such as choosing more subways, light rails and less driving, walking and biking more, and using energy-saving light bulbs more...

I hope that after you see this post, you will also find this documentary to watch, so that we can all Be aware of the dangers of global warming.

Written by a friend of mine:

Finally, add a fact that is not mentioned in the film. Essentially, the reason why there is so much oxygen and so little carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the result of hundreds of millions of years that the aquatic algae in the oceans have absorbed carbon dioxide and died and deposited it on the seafloor without being decomposed. The fossil fuels used today are actually in Oxidizing these ancient sediments for energy in the short term, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere tend to return to the era before the emergence of aquatic greenery. In other words, if heating is necessary, burning wood is more environmentally friendly than heating a natural gas stove, because wood is a renewable energy source. Of course, using electric heating is also good. You can imagine that this part of the electricity you use is generated by hydropower generation instead of coal kilns in Shanxi. In a sense, saving money and saving energy are positively correlated, because money itself represents a person's ability to possess resources, including natural resources and energy. so. . Basically, rich people are directly or indirectly more responsible for environmental damage. Solutions: 1. Only inhale and not exhale every day; 2. No or fewer children; 3. Earn more and spend less; 4. More spirit and less material; 5. Move to a higher place; Relevant relationships, if a counter-example is found, it will be resolutely attacked (or taken advantage of).
