Annotated bibliography #3

Gore, Albert. “Cold, Hard Evidence.” An Inconvenient Truth. New York, New York: Viking, 2007.

In this chapter, Al Gore is making an argument that the earth is changing due to global warming. He gives examples of how global warming is affecting earth by pictures. For example, he includes pictures of famous ice capped mountains and a glacier covered in ice and then shows a picture of the same image years later. The only thing different is there is little or no ice at all in the picture. This proves that the earth’s temperature is rising. He includes a graph that shows how the temperature has raised since the medieval warm period.
The author’s bias is that global warming is bad. He gives evidence such as charts and pictures to prove his point. Questions for the author are how bad will global warming get? When? How does the melting ice affect the people? “The hottest year recorded during this entire period was 2005” “This means the world’s temperatures will just keep going up and up too.”
