The local Meteorological Department forecast for yesterday was mainly dry weather with haze in the morning. And boy did you see that haze? Akhh! It felt like a thick, ‘thick’ grayish muddy layer begrimed with smoke was hovering over our heads. It was horrible. There was no wind, no sunlight no nothing, except that irritating haze spreading gloom all around. I wonder if if had something to do with “An inconvenient truth” hmmm

“An Inconvenient Truth” by Davis Guggenheim’s is a new documentary about the dangers of climate change, a warning of calamities and hoping for a Change. It consists mainly of a multimedia presentation on climate change that Mr. Gore has given many times over the last few years, with interviews and Mr. Gore’s voice-over reflections on his life in and out of politics.

It’s quite informative, revealing consequences of our nasty habits, things we take for granted. It gives eye-opening facts, scientific insight into how Global Warming has become mankind’s greatest challenge.

We need to take an action, soon!
