An Inconvenient Truth

One year ago, an inconvenient truth's DVD went out and I finally saw it ! Al Gore, former next US president as he presents himself in the beginning of the movie, speaks about global warming. I learned in the movie that Al Gore has been introduced to this problem a long time ago during his studies by a Professor measuring CO2 for an even longer time. So it appears it is not like a sudden hobby for him, which I thought before seeing the movie ...


Two facts I will remember from watching the movie. Well, apart from the fact that Al Gore presented his speech more than a thousand times around the world, and from the obtained result, I guess it is a good way to prepare and fine-tune slides ;-)

• The first fact is that the ozone hole problem is solved. Remember the CFCs in sprays and fridges? So, everybody seemed to agree to stop using them. Maybe, at least, the holes are not expanding anymore ...
  


• The second fact is that on the one hand, a majority of media articles denied the global warming problem during all these years. On the other hand no scientific publications have been found to deny it.

Why the second problem is not already solved? We know that some markets are generating so much money that involved industries are specializing in political and media "truth bending". We can deduce that the oil industry which is depicted to be the main CO2 generator has much more resources than the spray and fridge industries.

It was a very interesting DVD, if you haven't watched it yet, I recommend it to you !
