I really felt that we all have to watch this documents and act before it&#8217;s too late.
Al Gore mentioned that there are some powers who think Global warming is
an inconvenient truth, so they don't want to talk about it now.
I am very scared when I heard it. Well, we will listen to Al Gore.

Al Gore said he showed his presentation over 1000 times all over the world.
I can really see that. Because he did really great job on this.
He is so passionate and convincing　and we both loved his power point!
It just nailed us.

I actually studied some vocabularies before I watch the document, but it
was not necessary. Of course I have my interpretation by my side and
that was a great help for me, but also it was not that hard to follow.

Al Gore really made his presentation easy for us to follow with his
exposition and effective diagrams and he even showed cartoon.
I thought he must be such a great prof. if he is a teacher.

Everyone know what is Global warming, but we didn't know how bad it
became, how this is affecting many many things.

Also global warming is really affecting some other creature's life such as
migrant bird.
Because of the global warming, some creature's breeding time is moving
ahead and some birds can' find caterpillar anymore.
Because of the global warming, beetles won't die and eat all the trees.

Al Gore really stressed this line strongly,
An Inconvenient Truth ultimately shows us that global warming is no longer
a political issue but rather, the biggest moral challenge facing our
civilization today.

Here is 12 things to do. This is from the website <ins>Climate Crisis.</ins>

Want to help stop global warming?

Here are a dozen simple things you can do, plus the amount of carbon dioxide you'll save.

Change a light
Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will
save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

Drive less
Walk, bike, carpool or take mass transit more often. You’ll save one pound
of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive!

Recycle more
You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just
half of your household waste.

Check your tires
Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than
3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out
of the atmosphere!

Use less hot water
It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a
low-flow showerhead (350 pounds of <span class="caps">CO2</span> saved per year) and washing
your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year).

Avoid products with a lot of packaging
You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.

Adjust your thermostat
The simple adjustment of moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in
winter and up 2 degrees in summer could save you about 2,000 pounds of
carbon dioxide a year.

Plant a tree
A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

Turn off electronic devices
Simply turning off your television, <span class="caps">DVD</span> player, stereo and computer when
you’re not using them will save you thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

Try Meatless Mondays
Skipping meat one day per week would help save over 35,000 gallons of
water. Cutting meat out of your diet entirely would help save 5,000 lbs of
carbon emissions per year.

Unplug
Unplugging hair dryers, phone charges, toaster ovens and power cords
when not in use can save up to 20% on home energy use.
