Al Gore Ted Talk Summary

In the ted talk video, Al gore starts by mentioning that the arctic ice cap has reduced by 40 percent from the year 1980 to 2007. Al gore emphasized the ice cap’s vitality to our ecosystem. The ice cap usually increases during cold seasons and decrease during low hot seasons. Digital image show that the permanent ice has shrunken by more than half over the past 25 years. A multitude of frozen carbon lies around the arctic ice cap, then it decreases the carbon rise and turn into methane. All of this effects water resources on earth, there’s been an increase of water however when this dries up there won’t be any to accommodate people’s need. Moreover, fires have been on the rise due to global warming. This pattern is dangerous for sustainability development and transitions. 70 million tons of CO2 were added in the atmosphere and 25 million tons in the oceans in the past 5 years every 24 hours. Due to revenue concerns, coal and oil companies have argued against the notion of global warming.
The main points of Al Gore ted talks about the cause, effect and potential solution of global warming.
deforestation, burning of foil fuels (oil/coal) the most serious are 2 of the most cause currents effects of global warming. The emission of CO2 is most cause by burning coal and oil. This cause CO2 to remain in the ground and cause global warming. Some of the effect of global warming Al Gore mention was the reduction of the arctic ice cap. This floods when sea level to rise and drought when heat is generated at an intensive level. At first coal and oil company deny any notion of global warming but later decided to created “clean coil” as solution. “Clean coal” is still coal therefore it will not be effective in reducing global. Clean energy such as coal plants are effective way to reduce the effects of global
warming.
