Al Gore Speaks on Global Warming

Al Gore spoke of the critical issue facing the world today...Global Warming. The strongest point that he made in this speech is that global warming is a symptom of a bigger and deeper underlying issue. The issue is that we are witnessing a collision between our civilization and the earth and three factors are responsible for that: population growth, scientific and technological revolution, and our way of thinking. In my opinion, the weakest point of his speech is that global warming can be validated by record cold temperatures, just as easily as warmer temperatures. Gore believes that by conservation, a reduction in emissions and political activism, a solution is possible. In my opinion, the impacts that humans have on global warming is minute to the impacts of natural causes. I do agree, however, that it is our duty to future generations to take care of the global environment to the best of our ability.
