One weakness of the film is that people are still unaware of the truths behind the issue and instead are seeing Gore’s own personal motives and desires to seek solutions to the problem. Some experts dispute some of the claims in the movie, they say that the film assumes that science is settled when it is not.

This may not be alarming to some but in reality, the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere have also increase because of the use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. Thus, warming would really be the result. Sectors such as the IPCC believe that...
