Exploration 9 Nobel speech

The noble speech "A Planetary Emergency(2007) by Al Gore sent a really strong message to everyone in the world about global warming. He is trying to persuade the people stop doing something wrong, which will affect everyone in the near future. In his speech he says that " So today, we dumped another 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the thin the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet, as if it were an open sewer. And tomorrow, we will dump a slightly larger amount, with the cumulative concentrations now trapping more and more heat from the sun."(616) this is shows the readers how important this problem to our life and also we can see that Al Gore gives us lot of scientific information throughout his speech. As we here in news that glaciers are melting in the northern region and animals living are either dieing or moving to a new location were they can survive. we could also be in the same situation if we don't stop polluting the world. Nowadays, people around the trying to find new ways to reduce this pollution, for example car companies like Toyota, created a new hybrid which has low emissions and could make big difference in the world. Also i feel that people should try not to use cars for short distances, this could reduce the level of carbon emissions.

  2. I agree with you when you say that people should not use cars for short distances. That is so true, we can ride bikes or even walk. I know right now is not the best time because of the weather, but spring is coming and we should take advantage of the nice weather as soon as we get the chance to.

  3. I agree we should definitely find other ways to travel short distances than to use our cars all the time.
