Inconvenient truth

When the spacecraft flew into outer space, four billion miles from Earth, astronomer Carl Shagan said: Let's take another picture of Earth. Do you see that little blue dot, that's the Earth. Everything that has happened in human history has happened on that small point, including all triumphs and tragedies, wars and famines, and great progress. This is our only home. Without it we have nothing, including our power to live on earth, and the future of human civilization...

Former US Vice President Al Gore tells us the truth that the earth is facing. The development of civilization, economy and technology that we are proud of may be destroyed in a single day, and the killer is ourselves. Global warming has caused the melting of the polar glaciers, the sudden change of climate, and the destruction of biological chains. Shanghai, Qingdao, and Beijing have been submerged under sea water for decades. This is not unfounded, nor is it a fantasy, there is overwhelming evidence that this is the truth, although it is difficult to accept. Gore, who his rival Bush called "the man who would rather put workers out of work to protect owls," traveled the world, giving thousands of speeches. Compared to most governments, he is the man from space staring at Earth. The beautiful earth, with its lonely rotation and revolution in space, is riddled with holes and has an unpredictable fate. Our scientists have repeatedly called for the potential catastrophe of global warming, while skeptics and the media are whitewashing the peace, and politicians are scrambling for power, ignoring the warnings. When disaster strikes, it will be too late.

The unusual changes in the climate have reached the point where everyone can feel them. Yesterday I was wearing short sleeves to enjoy the sun, but today I was wearing a sweater and closed the doors and windows. Lightning shone through the cloudy sky last night, and thunder rumbled all night. The rivers in my hometown disappeared one by one, became polluted, and there was a flood in a certain year. The fish that ran out of the fish ponds flowed into the nearby river, and all of them floated on the surface of the water with their white belly. Trees were cut down, land was taken up at will, and it was difficult to even find a single sparrow. In the future, we will spend the rest of our lives in a cage-like office building with air conditioners, black tea, and legs crossed. On weekends, we will go to the poor park to roam with pet dogs like baby eggs. This is the only way to get close to nature and animals. . Spring is here, does this prosperous city smell like spring? Rachel Carson predicted in her great book "Silent Spring" that "there is no sound but a silence that covers the fields and woods and swamps". In the city, silence is the last luxury. When I opened the book again, I accidentally found that it was the preface written by the man named Gore. I really don't understand why he lost to Bush, who was like a rogue horse!

At the beginning of the year, I saw that 2007 would be the hottest year in human history. The thunder was still rumbling at the moment. When summer really arrives, we can't imagine what a tough time we will have. All I know is that I don't want to be deceptively cool under the shelter of fans and air conditioners all the time. I hope it's all an April Fool's joke.

I recommend everyone to watch this movie because it's an inconvenient truth.
