An Inconvenient Truth

The movie was definitely eye opening. I was always aware about climate change and global warming, but I didn't really care about it. That is, until I watched this documentary. The part that really hit me was the pictures of the glaciers that had melted. All that beauty, all that ice, our very world coming apart slowly. Heat is melting the glaciers and with that comes no place for the polar bears to live in. Yes, they don't exactly live in glaciers but it is ice! And that ice is melting. The before and after pictures of the environments made me think twice about the decisions I make that affect my environment. One of the choices being using energy that heats up the world, such as turning on my AC at home. I'll be honest, I haven't turned it on since I started watching the documentary. California weather has always been relatively perfect, in my eyes at least. Always happy weather and places to go. But I noticed that the oceans are increasing and heating up. And like in the documentary, eventually the ocean will rise to levels that will cover parts of California and other parts of the world. The fact that the 9/11 memorial building will be flooded breaks my heart and that so many people will lose their homes. THAT is what hit me. Wow. I'm going to do my best to conserve energy.
