Global Warming: An Inconvenient Truth :: Global Warming Catastrophe
In 2006, former senator Al Gore created an academy award winning documentary on global warming entitled ââ¬Å"An Inconvenient Truthâ⬠. The movie earned several awards including an academy award for best documentary and gore later received a noble peace prize. The movie discussed several different topics of great concern to global warming; such as permafrost, climbs in temperature, extinction of species, drought, and fatigue to name a few. Four writers in five different articles discussed the three topics of greenhouse gases, climate change, and causes of global warming. These writers are writer and scholar Bill McKibben in ââ¬Å"Think Again: Climate Changeâ⬠and ââ¬Å"How Close to catastropheâ⬠; William J. Broad, writer for the New York Times in ââ¬Å"From a Rapt audience, a call to cool the hypeâ⬠; writer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Kevin Oââ¬â¢Brien, in ââ¬Å"Global Warming? I wonââ¬â¢t be losing any sleep over itâ⬠; and Alan Zarembo, sta ff writer for the the Los Angeles Times, in ââ¬Å"Game over on global warming?â⬠All though the articles explain some different topics from one another, only one of them disagree with gore on the causes for global warming being humans, they all agree that there will be impacts to the environment, and all of them believe that greenhouse gases are one of the primary causes for global warming. First, all the articles discussed about who was to blame for the raising temperatures of the planet. The issue may be serious but Oââ¬â¢Brien states that is just the media using another topic of interest and throwing it out of proportion. He claims that there is global warming, but the statistics being given are always changing, so the blame game canââ¬â¢t always point a finger at humans. Zarambo explained that humans are the cause of global warming but cannot but no matter what we were to do, even revert to the Stone Age, that global warming will still rise because the waste we have build up can dissolve slowly. On the opposite side, McKibben in ââ¬Å"Think Again: Climate Changeâ⬠he explains that humans are to blaim because the planet is already struggling to keep itself alive and all the excess heat we generate from CO2 and other waste, we are dooming ourselves to an early grave. In ââ¬Å"How Close to catastropheâ⬠where he explains his own thoughts he explains t hat its not just humans to blame but the citizens of the US.
