Actifact 5

The reason why I wanted to do global warming as my social issue is because I have been hearing about it a lot currently in media. There has even been a movie produced to spread the word about the dangerous effects of global warming. This movie is called An Inconvenient Truth. An Inconvenient Truth is a look at former Vice President Al Gore's commitment to expose the myths and misconceptions about global warming. He goes accross the United States talking to people in order to inspire them to take actions to prevent it. Gore decided to do this after the United States experienced its worst storm season ever in 2005. Gore explains the dire situation with hard-hitting facts and future predictions. I found this movie to very informative about the extreme effects of global warming.

I found it very interesting to see how the media potrays global warming. In a way I was kind-of shocked. This is beacause I expected the media to embelish more and make global warming seem like the end of the world. However this movie gives straight and informative facts about global warming. I am very pleased to see the people like Al Gore who are using their fame to inspire the people of America to fight against and prevent global warming.
