Stop and think...
"You look at that river gently flowing by. You notice the leaves rustling with the wind. You hear the birds; you hear the tree frogs. In the distance you hear a cow. You feel the grass. The mud gives a little bit on the river bank. It’s quiet; it’s peaceful. And all of a sudden, it’s a gear shift inside you. And it’s like taking a deep breath and going, 'Oh yeah, I forgot about this'." ~ Al Gore in the opening monologue of An Inconvenient Truth.
Some of the sentences you've read or listened to are really striking.
Choose one that you specially liked:
"We have to act together to save this global crisis."
The big questions
Answer...
1. Is it really so important to stop global warming?
·Yes, it is really important because the Earth situation makes worse year after year. If we continued this way, we will destroy the Earth.
2. Did we betray the planet or did the planet betray us?
·I think that we betray the planet. The Earth isn't the guilty of the changes, the human is the only responsible of this crisis.
I think that because a lot of gases are emitted by humans, and this gases damage the atmosphere. If the atmosphere gets worse, the Earth will be destroied. Therefore, the fault is of the human.
