An Inconvenient Truth (2006)

“An Incovienent Truth” brings out the knowledge of Al Gore’s passion for the world’s conservation through this visual representation and stunning facts. Al Gore uses many facts and especially graphs to show how the earth’s Climate change, as his main topic of focus, is affecting our earth and our society as human beings. He keeps drawing back and reminiscing about hiss sisters death to lung cancer after taking a trip to the continent of Antartica.

Gore Uses comparative photographs from disappearing glaciers around the world, footage of collapsing ice shelves, data on the record numbers of storms, floods, and other kinds of extreme weather.

He also uses animations of the effects of rising sea levels, new diseases, photos of dying polar bears and disappearing coral reefs to emphasize his message that as care takers of the planet, we have failed and we are destroying our home.

From the research and points brought up by Gore, it is evident that as caretakers of this planet that we should be making a difference. It’s so weird that even though we are slowly killing this planet we don’t care. My opinion that society is influenced by media and mass productions of certain objects to forcefully change the trends 1^st world country in using certain objects. Industrial Designs should watch this documentary to influence them in using sustainable materials and also analysis certain products in their life cycle to minimalise wastage. Even eliminating different process that produce a lot of energy so that we don’t damage the environment.

If we design products that are recyclable, use more kinetic energy rather than powered by electricity, changing trends in the way we use certain objects. We can slowly eliminate the production of waste energy and therefore by designing certain products that last longer and eliminate in built obsolesce in products, we can actually preserve nature. Sacrificing production methods in money making will benefit all of us rather than using harmful materials because they are cheap. If by Designing most products to have this method of use to be re useable we can change trends so that people will start changing their behavior and mentality in how they see the world and treat our environment.
