A1 Gore may have failed to
become president of the United States, but perhaps he will go down in history as the man who saved the world. Like A1 Gore, I too have spent most of my life trying to awaken others to the catastrophe that is already upon us, and destined to grow worse. Like Gore, I, too, have failed. Yet, as I watched his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, I started to think, "not so fast, my dear A1 Gore, you may be succeeding after all."
I saw the movie yesterday with over a hundred other Rappahonnians. I sort of forced myself to go, I already knew his message. I was in no mood to hear it again. I expected to be terribly depressed; I expected the movie to make me cry. Instead, it filled me with joy. And why? Because A1 Gore explains the environmental issue so well. After seeing this movie no reasonable person could ridicule our assertion that we must act quickly, or environmental disaster lies ahead
The movie has pathos, humor, drama. It's interesting. It's fun. It’s sobering. And yet it is so well done that it filled me with hope that we will all awaken, and save ourselves after all.
But the odd thing is, Gore falls short of stating in clear and simple English what it is we now have to do.
