The film an Inconvenient Truth is a documentary movie about Al Gore and global warming. The movie is generally about global warming and Al Gore's pursuit to change peoples thoughts about global warming. Through the movie Al Gore presents statistics providing enough data and information about global warming.
In the first part of the movie Al Gore explains how global warming happens and the basic science of it. He also shows a cartoon movie about Mr Sunbeam and greenhouse gases. After that pictures of Kilimanjaro and various glaciers around the world and its change through the years. Graphs were presented to show 1000 years of CO2 and global warming.
The final analysis of global warming from Gore's point of view was first population growth which was 2 billon to 9 billion in one lifetime. He also pointed out that technology was good in many ways but it's so powerful it became a force of nature itself. Moreover, the ocean temperature has increased through the years and this can cause powerful hurricanes. For example hurricane Katrina which was category one when it passed the Gulf it went up to a category four.
Through the movie we saw the droughting of regions and drying of lakes and rivers. The Arctic is one of the regions which has the fast impact of global warming. The graph shows that the the thickness of the permafrost so trucks can travel over it; before it was 255 days but in 2005 it fell to 75 days. Also in this movie we saw the possible rise of water level through a computer animated video in several countries and cities.
Finally this movie had a more personal dimension, with reference to Gore's son's accident, his loss of the election in 2000 and the death of his sister Nacny from lung cancer. Moreover this movie was well photographed, directed and presented.
