global warming ...

recently , i came across watching this movie .. an inconvenient truth ... starring al-gore ... only al-gore ... haha ...

a little background info , in case you dont have an idea on who on earth is he ... he's a person , who challenged the better known george w bush for presidency after bill clinton stepped down ... ex-senator, dont know about now , but have been actively involved in environmental campaigns, especially on the global warming issue ...

the entire movie is set in a theatre , where al-gore is giving a presentation about global warming ... it may sound boring .. but i felt that it was meaningful and informs ... about what ? about every single of one of us contributing to the effects of global warming current day !

and only until after i watched the movie (documentry). i was aware about the devestating effects that have been done to the earth so far ... its only going to get worse if this carrys on ....

you see beautiful glaciers melting ... majestic waterfalls becoming narrower ... and giant ice shelves breaking apart ... all due to global warming ... all because of us ...

the earth's co2 concentration level have been recorded way above the chart ... try guessing how far behind the records have been ?

an amazing 650 thousand years !

and comparatively ... 10 hottest years on record have occured in the past 14 years .... 2005 being the hottest of all ....

this has caused devestating effects not only to the earth ... but also to us ... remember katrina? a massive hurricane that occured recently ? took lots of lives ... also due to global warming and drastic climate changes ...

personally , i dont think theres much we could do ... but i hope that we would at least try ...

electric plants and generators being the major contributor to green house gases .... therefore, we could try saving a little electricity per day so as to reduce the demand for producing more power ?
