Task "4"



Brandon Fibbs disliked the way that Al Gore introduces the global warming issue with a brief scientific explanation at the starting of the documentary, which reminded him of Darwinian evolution or Einstein's theory. He thinks that the global warming is not controversial because of the huge number of articles published before the film and it will not be beneficial unless the person who is watching is interested in global warming. He also sees that global warming is not a new issue.

On the other hand he agreed with Gore’s ideas when he says, “Gore got the science right”. In addition, Fibbs thinks that Gore had enough graphs, charts, time-lapsed photographs and scientific studies to convince people about the seriousness of the issue and it is sufficient to take a federal step towards it. By the examples provided by Gore he shows that global warming isn’t just a theory, it is an issue which affects many aspects of life.

It’s clear that this is a criticism for the movie presented by Al Gore and the skeptical attitude of Al Gore’s undocumented thoughts and pictures of glaciers’ melting which the main cause in the Global Warming. Pictures and graphs are illogical and they are taken at different times.
His vague usage of vocabulary and pun instead of researchers’ names contributes to more doubt about things he presents. Therefore, the movie won’t persuade audiences anymore. It’s likely a biased politics provided by the word “facts”

I think the film was a serious step to take care of the global warming. It makes us aware about the consequences and destruction which will happen from this phenomenon. It was great in editing that shows the scientific issue in a story of the doctor's life. The examples provided and the test of CO2, which Al Gore made in the middle of the film were convincing. Finally I like the idea of representing global warming in a film which takes us from reading long articles.
