the 11th Hour

As more and more movies come out about saving the environment, one wonders when is it actually time for the world to go through its cycle without it being someone’s fault. Leonardo DiCaprio did a really good job putting together this documentary and showing the world the things that we need to do not only to slow down global warming, but to make the environment cleaner for the inhabitants of it. The movie used star power well to try to get their point across to a wider range of people.
Though the evidence presented seemed really good, I also know that there is sufficient evidence against the common belief that humans are responsible for the global warming state the planet is being thrust towards. Actually according to many scientists, a heating or cooling phase of the Earth has been long due, and that its about time that something of the sort happens now.
The imagery and techniques of the movie along with the soundtrack were wonderful and perhaps had a more dramatic effect on the audience then they would have had if it was just another documentary.
The one question I have after the movie is if we are to do everything that the environmentalist expect us to do, will we be able to stop global warming? Will we be able to undo so many years of harm that has already been done to the planet? Though we keep telling individuals to recycle and use less fossil fuels, not everyone is going to change their way of living. If not everyone decides to change their ways then the work of one might begin to make a small dent in the situation but at the same time the dent is not going to be big enough. So is it worth the time and effort to make a difference in the world, when its not making a difference in the world.
With the rapid growth of the world population there is no way to slow down this emission of carbon dioxide in the air, the biggest difference that we could then perhaps make is somehow reducing our population, rather then worrying about recycling and energy conserving. The possibility of doing such things seems more appealing when we realize that such actions much just have direct environmental aspects on each person surrounded by the pollution caused by the rest of us.
The documentary was impressive and Leonardo DiCaprio made the movie a lot easier to see. It was informative in an entertaining way and it captured an Audience’s attention.
