The truth is out there...

''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 cease this issue, it is our time to rise again to secure our future.''


A documentary on Al Gore's campaign to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide.

Al Gore: Himself

My first thoughts after watching Truth is that more films like this need to be made in this style.
That show we have to change our ways because quite frankly the world we live in doesn't deserve negligence from the worst thing this planet has going for it: Us...

Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth is informative, detailed and something like a lesson you would have at Uni College or even School that doesn't deserve to fall on deaf ears.

It's message is simple, we as a people need to wake up no matter what Country we are in and make a difference in the way we think about Global Warming and conjure and muster up a way of doing something to make it better.

It has humour, it has beautiful, realized charts, facts and features to get it's point across. Al Gore is a charismatic powerful figure who's doing the right thing, not just for himself but for everyone.

End of the day we cant keep ignoring these issues and hoping someone else will fix them in future generations to come but to do something now, make things better at this moment and grasp it. Of course it's going to be a gradual thing but this is something that overshadows even terrorism.

One day the Earth won't be there, so let's stand by Al Gore and make sure our Planet stays about for longer. Not just for ourselves but for our children and our children's children...

A heart felt film that shows not a boring documentary but a masterpiece with a message that hits home.

Convenient lies

Posted : 8 months ago on 14 April 2009 06:11 (A review of An Inconvenient Truth)

An Inconvenient Truth is really weird. It’s not a drama or even a documentary in the traditional sense, it's more of a slide show, delivered to a live audience, on the subject of the environment. To make this work you should need a great presenter, so who was chosen to tackle this huge task, Bono from U2? David Attenborough? Nope, it’s Al Gore the former American Vice President – well we all trust what politicians tell us! Don’t we?

What follows is a very moving account of why we should firstly trust Al Gore, why his family were willing to change their opinion of pushing tobacco on the public when it hit close to home and then Al Gore gives us key figures, charts and even diagrams on how CO2 (Carbon dioxide) is really the biggest threat against humanity and the World today. All details are presented as facts, not theories, with no counter argument.

For example, Al Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. However the September 2006 Issue of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate reported, "Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame."

What is also never discussed is that the rise in carbon dioxide levels actually lags behind temperature rise by quite a few years. So carbon dioxide rises aren’t the cause of global warming, but the outcome of rises! This movie in effect puts it that ‘the cart pushes the horse along’, despite this lunacy, everyone agrees, the movie is a success and the world changes.

Joe Public is now working harder for the environment and trying to recycle more, which isn’t a bad thing. There are however many negative sides of this movies global success, such as the renewed push towards nuclear power, carbon trading (which is nonsense), third-world countries are no longer able to use their vast natural resources and enjoy their own industrial revolutions, and scientists who attempt to obtain grants for research that may contradict the man-made explanation are shunned by the political establishment and often vilified.

Do watch this movie to see what its all about, it will hopefully move you to become more aware of your environment, but please do also use your own grey matter to think about the real causes and effects around us. Oh and don’t always trust what a politician tells you!

Honestly Frightening.

I would have given this film a higher rating, but to be honest with you, it frightened me quite a bit with all of that end of the world talk, and why it is bad to use electronics and so forth, but I actually learned a valuable lesson from this film, and it taught me something. I learned that global warming actually is eventually going to happen, and it is not worth pretending that it won't. This film did a good job at putting those facts together, into one huge presentation to show the world. I enjoyed this film a lot.

Passionate & Low-Key

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 4 March 2008 05:57 (A review of An Inconvenient Truth)

Only Al Gore could be so passionate and so low-key at the same time. This documentary is basically a wooden old guy doing a slide show with graphs and pie charts about things you don't want to know. But, with Al's comforting voice, willingness to be the butt of his own jokes, vivid scenes of places in peril and intimate views of Al's past and present, it becomes a whole lot more than a slide show.

Well done

this is a very well done presentation, that for about 5 minutes lets you think: "sell your car, stop heating your living room and get back to nature".

Everone should see this movie

Everyone who is still not convinced that global warming is real and humans are causing it, should see this movie. It shows you pictures and data that can not be overlooked!
