As many of you know, the environment and global warming are two major issues that political candidates use in their campaigns to gain votes. However, the real question is how many of those candidates actually keep their campaign promises to help reduce global warming and save the environment? Last time I checked, there weren’t too many!
On the other hand, there is one politician who has kept his word to promote awareness about global warming and has gained much support from others for his efforts. Recently, ex-vice president Al Gore has become quite an advocate against global warming and the effects it’s currently having on our planet and what the future Earth would be like with increased global warming. So how did Gore manage to pull off one of the nation’s most successful global warming campaigns? Simple three words… "An Inconvenient Truth”. In 2006, Al Gore released his documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” which discusses global warming, the effects it’s having on the Earth now and in the future and what we can do to help reduce its effects on the Earth.
And if you think this documentary is some boring science film with an ex-VP pointing at graphs and pictures of Earth …well you are so very wrong! “An Inconvenient Truth” is an informative yet entertaining and interesting film because it allows viewers to learn about the current effects of global warming and gets the viewer thinking about the Earth’s future. The documentary shows viewers dramatic visuals of the Earth now and in the future if the Poles were to melt and various locations would soon become flooded. The movie also suggests various ways one can help reduce the effects of global warming and facts to help viewers become more aware about what is going on. So the next time you're in Blockbuster check out “An Inconvenient Truth” and see what the man has to say! You might surprise yourself by learning something new and becoming inspired to help the cause.
Finally, Al Gore has continued his global warming success by becoming a recent winner of a Noble Peace Prize. Winning this award, not only helps Al Gore as a respectable politician but as a representation of an individual fighting against global warming and being given recognition for his efforts. Honestly, all I can say is “Congrats Gore!” because he deserves it.
My only hope is that with this major news in environmental history, people will begin to realize that global warming is happening before our very eyes and that we CAN do something about it! The only question that remains is WHEN? When we will take a stand against global warming…and when we do…will it be TOO late?

I like the information you gave in this post, however I was left with many unanswered questions. What parts of the other candidates campaigns are failures in regards to your topic? Why do you believe that they are doing nothing? Is Al Gore's campaign really helping or is it just an award winning advertisement? What kind of evidence is there that his film has helped the fight against global warming? How will Al Gore's campaign persuade people to take action? What aspects of his film are persuasive?
I agree with Brooke. I support your argument; however, remember to always include some sort of analytical support to simply show that you know what you're talking about. You went from supposedly telling us about politicians not sticking to their word to supporting Al Gore. And even in supporting him, you lack acknowledgement of his main points in his campaign for Global Warming.
This post does a very good job of displaying Al Gore's dedication and passion for Global Warming. But I am interested to know more about his research and his theory about the topic. If he does get elected, what does he plan to do about Global Warming? Is educating the general public enough to make a difference in this environmental issue? In regards to Global Warming what others measures can be taken to improve the overall condition of the Earth?
I agree with the comments posted above... however, I would like to know which cadidates are planning to do something about global warming and which ones aren't. Also I really liked your comment about how we wait too long to do anything about such situations and often wait for others to get the ball rolling. It is so true! I really appreciate your decision to speak out about global warming. While many are concerned about the current situation of global warming, few actually even attempt to do anything about it.
