Description: An inconvenient truth An Inconvenient Truth is an American documentary by Davis Guggenheim released in 2006. Dealing with climate change, it is based largely on a multimedia presentation that Al Gore, former vice president of the United States and Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2007 (shared with the IPCC), prepared for his awareness campaign on climate change. global warming.It was followed in 2017 by A Disturbing Sequel: Time for Action, directed by Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk. SynopsisFormer Vice President Al Gore devotes himself to what he considers his duty after the failure of the 2000 American presidential election. He is himself involved in the fight against global warming. Continuing a presentation exhibited around the world in his tour nicknamed "The Slide Show", Gore highlights the near unanimity of scientists agreeing on global warming of the Earth, debate on politics and economics of global warming), and describes the serious consequences that climate change will produce if the amount of human production of greenhouse gases is not significantly reduced in the very near future.The film has many catastrophic aspects, such as the risk of the collapse of a major ice sheet, a massive glacier in Greenland or Antarctica, either of which could raise global sea levels by approximately 6 meters, causing the flooding of coastal areas and creating around a hundred million “climate refugees”, eco-refugees. Greenland's melting waters could stop the Gulf Stream and quickly trigger dramatic local cooling in northern Europe (despite global warming). The documentary concludes by stating that if appropriate action is taken quickly, the effects of warming can be successfully reversed by releasing less carbon dioxide and growing more plants and trees. Finally Gore invites all spectators to learn how they can help and to get involved in this initiative.In order to show the phenomenon of global warming, the film presents the annual temperature and CO2 levels for the last 650,000 years determined by analyzes of ice cores taken in Antarctica. A Hurricane Katrina analogy is used to remind them that 30- to 45-foot waves destroyed nearly a million coastal homes in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida.The aspects of controversy1 linked to the attribution of the causes of global warming are presented as manipulation coming from a limited group of people, seeking to maintain doubt through a dissonance between the specialized press media and the mainstream media2.Al Gore is presented in this documentary, as well as the major steps leading to his involvement in politics. He also settles scores with his adversaries, specifically pointing the finger at the people who participate in disinformation in this area.
