"An inconvenient truth"

The film "an inconvenient truth" is a documentary that is all about global warming, global warming is spreading hot air that may affect diseases to people and animals. This hurts many people, animals, and plants. The documentary showed the basic process of global warming which is the greenhouse gases are trapping the sun's heat in the earth's atmosphere which makes the earth warm. The greenhouse gases are caused by producing too much CO2. When the movie compared the old and new photos of the same place, the difference was very obvious. I can clearly see that the glaciers are starting to melt. It also showed graphs and charts showing that every year the production of CO2 is getting higher also earth's temperature is getting warmer.

The documentary also has elaborate cartoons and diagrams so that people of all intellectual capabilities can understand and relate to the topics under discussion. Added to that, he shows also pictures of the destruction of earth just like comparative photographs from footage of collapsing ice shelves, data on the record numbers of storms, disappearing glaciers around the world, great floods, and other kinds of extreme weather, new diseases which include viruses which hit the people , photos of dying polar bears animations of the effects of rising sea levels, and disappearing coral reefs.

It has in depth explanations as to how all this damage has come to occur and why most people fail to respond to all warnings concerning about the planet. It also states that politics and mislead information has been given to most public, so that this issue can be ignored and not resolved as solutions and alternatives can cause a lot of problems and hassles economically. He tells that only political will can make a change and to encourage the people to stand up for saving the earth.

When sunlight reaches Earth's surface some is absorbed and warms the earth and most of the rest is radiated back to the atmosphere at a longer wavelength than the sun light. Some of these longer wavelengths are absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere before they are lost to space. The absorption of this long wave radiant energy warms the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases act like a mirror and reflect back to the Earth some of the heat energy which would otherwise be lost to space. The reflecting back of heat energy by the atmosphere is called the "greenhouse effect".

Many cannot take the change, so they die. The sunlight came from the sun in the earth is trap because of global warming that we release from the transportation like cars stops the sunlight to go back in the atmosphere.

According to the researches in the film, 40% of the world is dependent with their drinking water from the rivers and springs of Himalayas. Antarctica, Patagonia and other parts of the world covered with ice are gradually melting. Dry lands, on the other hand, get parched, thus making it unsuitable for vegetation. Personally, the aspects which stand out most to me are: the examination of annual temperature and CO2 levels for the past 60,000 years and the melting ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland. Because of greenhouse effect; the gases act like a mirror and reflect the heat coming from the sun back to the Earth.

For the first time polar bears have been found drowning. When they have swum over 100 km to find ice and still have not found any, they give up and die in the water instead. The ice at the North Pole, at the South Pole, Greenland, and glaciers around the world are all melting - at a speeding record, due to the continous increase of temperature on Earth. Not only does the melting ice affect the local environment, but it also leads to a colder sea and an increase of water volume. The cold water can destroy important transportation of warm water, like the Gulf Stream, and if that happen it does not matter how sorry you will be afterwards. The northern parts of Europe will be uninhabitable.

The most visually striking and memorable element of the film was Gore's impressive graph of the Earth's temperature and CO2 levels for the past 650,000. The chart not only illustrated the past but an alarming future. Using ice core samples scientists conclude CO2 levels have never gone above 300 parts per million. As of 2005, there were approximately 380 parts per million.

Increasing global temperatures are causing a broad range of changes. Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion of the ocean, in addition to melting of land ice. Amounts and patterns of precipitation are changing. The total annual power of hurricanes has already increased markedly since 1975 because their average intensity and average duration have increased (in addition, there has been a high correlation of hurricane power with tropical sea-surface temperature).

With global warming, there will also be a relocation of precipitation, which means that some places experience a lot of typhoons and rain showers while others drought. The hurricane Katrina is the strongest one that has stricken North America, and is a proof of the global warming taking place in our planet. It is because bodies of water warm up fast, and with warm bodies of water, hurricane can take place anytime.

The fast change in seasons is also one of the many outcomes of global warming. Countries in the Artic and Antarctic Circle experience early spring and late fall. Also, polar ice caps in Antarctica have been found out to decrease by 40% over the years. Thirty kinds of diseases have emerged with the unforeseen changes in climate. Most popular among these are the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or commonly known as SARS and the Avian Flu. Even the corals beneath the oceans and seas are affected by global warming that heats the water of oceans and seas.

The documentary gave me a deeper understanding of what global warming really is and what will be the consequences if we do not do something about it. The way the documentary is presented is very effective. The old man defined and described global warming in a way a non-science-loving-environmentalist-geek would understand. He also adds humor to it by presenting some animated slide show in between explanations. Most likely, the simplicity of the presentation and the thorough explanation are the reasons why the documentary received so many awards and appreciation.

"An Inconvenient Truth" was published by Rodale Press in 2006. The book was written by former Vice President Al Gore and focuses on climate change and its impacts on the environment.

Reaction Paper: An Inconvenient Truth

The documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore is an eye opener and also a wake up call for me. I have heard about global warming before, probably back in grade school but I knew a little about it or I only knew the meaning of the term global warming. The documentary gave me a deeper understanding of what global warming really is and what will be the consequences if we do not do something about it. The way the documentary is presented is very effective. Al Gore defined and described global warming in a way a non-science-loving-environmentalist-geek would understand. Most likely, that would be the reason why it won so many awards.

Al Gore also showed graphs and charts showing that every year the production of CO2 is getting higher also earth's temperature is getting warmer.

Other nations are trying to do something about global warming. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol is an amendment to the international treaty on climate change, assigning mandatory emission limitations for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the signatory nations. The objective of the protocol is the stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Unfortunately, United States did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol even if they are the country with the highest production or emission of CO2. It is just too sad that some US officials are ignoring and neglecting the global warming issue for the...

An "inconvenient truth" refers to a fact or piece of information that is difficult or uncomfortable to accept, but is nevertheless true. This term was popularized by the documentary film "An Inconvenient Truth," which focused on climate change and its impact on the environment.

Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way.

The National Geographic documentary is called "Draining the Ocean"

"The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court" is the documentary that screened at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival, exploring the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It features Thomas Merton's poem "Original Child Bomb" which reflects on the tragic events and their long-lasting impact.

"Walking with Dinosaurs" was actually filmed in New Zealand, particularly in locations like the Southern Alps and the Macraes Flat gold mine. New Caledonia was not a filming location for this documentary series.

There is no verifiable information about a National Geographic movie involving a cloned character named Andrea Gordon. Could you provide additional details or context?

Frontline airs many different documentaries including subjects like the government, money, education, outdoor activities and so many more.

If you are thinking about the movie then no it's just a boy in an alien suit. If you want to know if ET was ever discovered in real life then no or I don't think that any scientists have gone and discovered ET from/in a different planet.

Documentary can be explained as documentation of reality . in a documentary the theme or subject taken in completely real or based on real incidents , here a story is not plotted or the set , everything is shot when seen , an terrifically set is not created to shot these films , whilie films have got a story , which maybe a complete fiction - ibs

As nearly as I can determine there is no film titled "Bowling in Columbine". There is, however, a Michael Moore film titled "Bowling for Columbine" where he portrays his views on the reasons for the Columbine shootings.

The Donner Party - documentary - was created in 1992.

Well not completely sure of where she is HOWEVER, she is going to be speaking at CCBC-Essex Campus on April 29. They have her listed as Shanae Watkins.

A film style is a recognizable group of conventions used by filmmakers to add visual appeal, meaning, or depth to their work. It can encompass every aspect of film; dialogue, cinematography, attitude...etc

Some good free documentaries online include "The Story of Stuff," "Drone On" and "Gearing Up." You can learn more about these documentaries and watch them online at the Top Documentary Films website.

There are several methods to indicate that a collection of words is a title. They are, in order of preference: • Set the title in italics, as in: The Bridge over the River Kwai, this is the preferred method • Set the title within quotation marks, "The New York Times" • Set the title in all capital letters; this is done when italics are unavailable: LITTLE WOMEN • The least-preferred method is to use an underscore; in a word-processing program, this can generally be found under "type/font/style" or in a similar location depending upon the application; on a typewriter, one must first type the title, then backspace to the beginning of the title and add the underscores (Shift key and hyphen key, pressed simultaniously).

a little bit "put out" slightly bothered a bit annoying i.e. When I need to drive ten miles to a grocery store because the one closest to me has closed, it is an inconvenience. But, it's not the end of the world. An inconvenience is usually a minor thing.
