An Inconvenient Truth

The film was about the global warming and how it affects the climate now and in the future and how Mr. Gore explains it to the world.

The message from the film is to make people more attentive to what happens because of global warming and how it will affect the earth from increase in the sea level because the ice melts and also dryness in some places in the world and how it will be in the future if the global warming continues like this or increases.

The most interesting thing is that more ice is melting with the increasing of the global warming therefore the sea level increases  and also the other interesting thing is that  Mr.Gore is trying his best to introduce this problem to the world .
