Global Warming
Essay1: Summary
Nobel Lecture on Global Warming
Knowing your future is in danger caused by a problem you’ve created, would you solve it? Global warming affects not only yourself, but the whole world. Former Vice President Al Gore has studied the environment for over 30 years. Gore has deep feelings for the Earth and also has great concerns for its future. His attempts of striving to get the world’s attention for a planetary emergency led him to win the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Upon accepting his award he gave a detailed lecture about global warming and its causes, effects, and a plan to solve the crisis.
Gore introduces his lecture with the a little history behind the Nobel Prizes. Alfred Nobel began the Nobel Prizes in the 1800’s. Seven years before he created the prize he invented the “Dynamite”, which created negative views upon his name. The Nobel Prize was created for a better judgment of his name and to serve the cause of peace. The award gave Gore the opportunity to share what he feels is his purpose, to spread the worlds fate. Gore expressed the world could have a dangerous fate if we continue to let it.
In the thin shell of the atmosphere surrounding our planet we have dumped seventy million tons of global warming pollution into the earth. That number grows more and more every day. The pollution we put in to the air is attracting more heat from the sun, causing glaciers to melt. The melting glaciers have already affected major cities in North and South America, Asia, and Austria, having massive droughts and almost out of water. Other countries are planning evacuations due to massive floods. Breakout wildfires forced a half million people out their homes. The extreme increase in temperature has caused tens of thousands of people to lose their lives. Warnings of global warming have been stated for over fifty years, but have yet to take action. One of the first Nobel Prize winners worried about the evaporating coal mines in the air. Calculations of
