An Inconvenient Truth

This movie is presented by the Former vice president Al Gore shares his concerns on the issue of global warming. In this article I will summarize Al Gore’s movie “An Inconvenient Truth”.

Global warming is the disaster which threats life on earth. Al Gore explained how the atmosphere works; the sun rays come to earth and reflect but some of it stays at the earth with the help of the Ozone layer to keep it warm. The horrible increase in the carbon dioxide ratio has thickened the layer which allows more rays to stay more than the human need. As a result, a lot of temperature changing can be seen around the world such as heat wave. For example, greenhouses; it rejects the sun rays to come in so the rays stay in the atmosphere which increased the temperature. Al Gore mentioned factors of carbon dioxide emissions; increase population, new technology and economic dependence on fossil fuels. Another problem the global warming is caused the ice melting which is extremely dangerous. The sea level will raise and constructions and the climate all can be affected if the ice starts melting because of the increase of temperature. As a solution Al Gore said that we should use a renewable source. He mentioned that we should use carbon capture and other machines which save for environment to reduce the effect of global warming.

At the end of his movie, Al Gore confirmed that most of the scientists in the world agree that we are the focal point for the global warming.

Eye on Lebanon

Lebanon is a Middle Eastern country, which includes two main religions. It was called in the bible “the land of milk and honey” because of the green nature there. The capital of Lebanon is Beirut. Beirut has also a nickname “Paris of the East”. Lebanon is surrounded by five countries: Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Cyprus and Israel. This task will explain the modern history and Lebanon now.

Lebanon gained independence from France in 1943. At the time the Christians were in control of power. After the Arab-Israel war in 1948 100,000 of Palestinian were driven out of Palestine and went to Lebanon. In 1975, the tensions increased after a Christian group has attacked a bus fill of Palestinians in Beirut. This tension causes the revenge killings followed and violence increased threat the secure of Lebanon. In 1982, the Israeli army attacked the city to remove the Palestinian Liberation Organization. After seven years, the peace deal reached. These conflicts resulted in high casualties and a sharp drop in the economy of Beirut.

After the end of the war conflicts have submerged quietly signs of reconstruction and rehabilitation of the city have shown. Muslims and Christians are mingled and forgotten conflicts. The city at it was starting to return after reconstruction. The Syrian army left from Lebanon. Tourism began to flourish, leading to an investment by the foreign. After all this constructions still there are problems like the lack of jobs for locals, which led to the exodus out of the country. Another factor that led to the migration high cost of living.
