While reading, "An Inconvient Truth, Introduction", I was actually quite happy with what the author was saying. Al Gore brought up the fact that global warming is real and happening, but it was the way that he said it that I really liked. He used phrases that were meant to shock you and show you the reality of the situation, like when he compared what happened with the dinosaurs, to what we are doing now. He also mentioned cases where the government had information and still refused to act on it, like with Hurricane Katrina. I definitely think that right now there are way too many people who still refuse to acknowledge what is happening, just because they're afraid of what it is going to cost them. In reality, it shouldn't matter what the cost is right now, because if our future is destroyed then we would have just sat around and done nothing. I also liked how the author brought in the idea of this disaster being an opportunity. I think that the idea of having a mission for our generation is kinda cool, especially if we will be able to live long enough to look back on it.http://wrt200suarez.blogspot.com/
