The film "An Inconvenient Truth" with Al Gore is definitely a film to see. It is an eye-opener that can hopefully convince skeptics on the effects of climate change.
Most effective are the snap shots of before and after for melting snow such as at Mt. Kilimanjaro. Whether actual true footage or not (I had heard that some of the filmis "embelished"), the images are shocking. In this film the mention of the polar bears and their lack of sea ice was also definitely a topic that people should know more
about. It was a minor mention, but important nonetheless. Al Gore is a very good speaker, which keeps your attention throughout the whole film. Using a bit of shock tactics is necessary in climate change issues, as people just won't get it otherwise. Humans have been causing for increased Greenhouse Gas emissions, and Gore's major point is that we need to smarten up start reversing the damages otherwise the world as we know it will be changed. Sea levels will rise, weather systems will change, all facts that were included in the IPCC report previously reviewed. What Gore is trying to get across to people is that the change is happening as we speak and is real. Gore has been concerned with climate change as a student, and with mentor Roger Revelle's help he has built up a strong argument for change. He wants people to chose to make the change and to know that we have the power to do so.
