Coinciding with the release of the film, the May 13, 2006, Gore took the opportunity to

promote themselves in the "reality show" America's best-known TV show, ‘Saturday Night Live’, where he played the hilarious role of the President of  the United States, after having won the 2000 elections, in an imaginary world parallel to the real one.

Summary. Personal Opinion

Most of Sun’s radiation is absorbed by the Earth and warm it. Some energy is radiated back into space by the earth in the form of infrared waves. Some of this bouncing infrared radiation is trapped by the earth’s atmosphere and warms it.

The CO2 layer prevents that most of these rays can go back to the space.

In my opinion, human beings could collaborate and avoid the global warming, to save the Earth.

What could we do?

As we know, pollution is one the main factors we should avoid. Therefore we should:

-save energy

-use the car only when it is necessary

-buy appliances that save energy

-use compact lights

-plant trees and save water

-recycle

-take care of the environment, etc

If everybody collaborates, we can save the planet and avoid its destruction.
