An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of distress but rather a cry to protect the one earth we all share. "It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely," said Gore. Within our Biology class, one has learned many facts or will soon begin to to learn many things that has been interpreting in "an inconvenient truth". Carbon cycle, ecosystem, the green house gases, biomes, global climate patterns, conveyor belt and extinction. The carbon cycle starts with carbon being removed from the atmosphere by being taken in through primary producers or plants, throughout the process of photosynthesis. Carbon then goes from living things to soil, returns to the atmosphere by respiration in plants and animals. Also through the burning of wood, fossil fuel and automobiles. Ecosystem is a complex set of
