Watching this video for the first time, I did not know what to make of it when I saw clips of Al Gore running for presidency in America. There was another clip with where he grew up, that was not relevant to me either, I could not see how that bit fit into the movie. It was very evident that Mr Al Gore travelled often in the air and under water, which I was very cost effective. As a result of this he had first hand knowledge of climate change. One can also argue that the fact that Mr Gore travels often by air to do his lectures from state to state, and different parts of the world he too contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer. Taking into consideration all the resources, time and effort into his findings. The media's attention both positive and negative comments regard Mr Gores findings got the attention of millions around the world to that extent I feel the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 was deserved. How many of us can influence one hundred, one thousand, one hundred thousand much less millions, in that aspect i would say ''well done Al Gore''!
The fact that Al Gore ran for president in America, was a result of him becoming favorite to millions. I think it would take some one as popular as Al Gore to influenced millions. He had evidence that he went to some of these places that are effected by climate change he did his research whether or not they were accurate. I know I can do and when become famous but out side of that it is going to be a challenge.
My impression of the film was ''boring'' but I pushed my self to watch it. I was not inspired but informed about how our climate rapidly is changing. What i saw literally scared me but realistically it is a cause for concern. The film was effective for those who believed the climate is changing but there are some people mindset you can not have an effect on even if they were in the eye of an hurricane at the south pole. My question is,(would Al Gore have made a difference where climate change is concerned if he was elected president in the America)? I would need to watch the film again to gain better understanding, there was allot of information that was not registered in my brains.
Oh OK
ReplyDeleteThis is the third blog I have read in a row that is negative about the film - its boring, its not relevant.
It isn't meant to be entertainment...it's outlining the future of the planet if we don't do anything.
If the only think that people are interested in is a short term satisfaction of immediate needs sustainable development isn't going to get anywhere!!
How we can get people to realise that everything is relevant and not boring?
I think this comment was not meant for me. I wrote and I quote, ''My impression of the film was ''boring'' but I pushed my self to watch it. I was not inspired but informed about how our climate rapidly is changing.'' I was being honest. I did get the point Al Gore was trying to bring across where climate change is concerned.
