An Inconvenient Truth

This documentary was incredibly interesting showing the influence of humans on global warming and in turn the planet. It covers all the details with factual information making it a nice educational source of study. The study done within the documentary shows the environmental impact over the last few decades, which reveals the 'inconvenient truth' about Co2 gas and its destructive powers.
Al Gore explains his research and findings on the topic of Co2 gas and its relation to the global warming issue.
The information and research that was shown was a large shock to me, showing a number of charts, graphs, photographs and many witness accounts. They showed a series of studies down in different parts of the globe such as south america or specifically Peru where large amounts of glaciers were just disappearing at an alarming rate. To prove it was a global problem the study also reveals the same problem happening in the northern hemisphere, an example of this would be Nepal.
The most shocking part of this video was not the fact that all this ice was melting but the incredibly alarming rate inwhich it was melting. This study was well argued and backed up cementing the view that this really is a global issue and not a serious of isolated issues, as it is happening all over the world.
This documentary is a wake up call for people watching and a means to raise awareness of this devastating problem. Providing ample amounts of research and evidence to the issue at hand, for people to believe that this is really happening is up to them. In saying that it is hard not to look outside and not think that there is something different in the world we live in now. This research is a great source of information of students or people across the globe to understand and learn how they are affecting the future. This will helpfully lead to the finding and implementing of a proper solution.
This has a key role in the study of industrial design showing that not only does everything you design have an environmental cost but also what that cost might end up doing to the globe.
