This week in class we watched the movie An Inconvenient Truth. A couple weeks ago we read a short story with some quotes from Al Gore about global warming and i learned so much more during the movie than the short story. The movie had some of the same facts but it gave visual representations. I am a visual learner and I grasped so much more during the movie. One thing that he said that really intreagued me is that 20 years ago, scientists said that the glacirs in antartica wouldnt melt for another hunderd years, but in 2005, when the movie was released, the giant ice caps already started melting into the ocean. When the ice melts, it fills the ocean with water, raising the sea level. I just saw the movie Cloud Atlas. In one part of the movie, the setting was in New Soul, South Korea into the near future. New Soul was at least a hundred feet about Soul, because Soul was flooded when the ice caps were melted. I didnt think much of it, untill I saw Al Gore's movie and he said in areas like China, Russia and Korea would be effected greatly and the millions of people living there would be homeless due to the flooding. I hope that Humans can work together to prevent this or if the ice caps do melt, we as a species can make some new device that is like a giant ice ray to re freeze the water in the arctic to bring the flooding down again.
