Before watching Al Gore’s an Inconvenient truth I knew of him as a politician and as the runner up in the 2000 American presidential elections. I had also heard his name mentioned in the media when talking about the Environment. When he realised the film I had no intention of Watching as I personally would not find this film very appealing to watch due to my personal tastes
The most interesting part of the film was the predictions Al Gore made about the future of the planet. Ocean current was something that Al Gore mentioned that interested me. . The Water Cycle of the Earth is a closed system and the fact that the pattern is changing is a very worrying prospect.
Another thing that I found about the Film was the comment made that Had Al Gore Won the Election then we would live in a Very Different World. This is obviously true due to the widely acknowledge failure of the Bush administration but also if
AL Gore Had focused on the Environment during his term maybe we would be living more sustainable.
One criticism I had was when AL Gore was talking about the recent hurricanes around the world and most notably the southern United States. I was in Florida in 2004 and felt the full Force of Hurricane Charlie which was one of the larger hurricanes to hit that year. A year later when Katrina hit it caused unbelievable damage to Louisiana and in particular the New Orleans. He mentioned these to make the point that hurricanes are getting worse. However since 2005 the Hurricanes and Tropical storms that have hit Florida have not matches the scale of Katrina.
Al Gore is arguing a point and although some of the things he said are obviously true and need to be considered I also felt that he was very manipulative of the evidence and when watching the film you must be critical of some of the things he said.

But on balance is it fair to be over critical. The slight errors are meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
