The impact of “An Inconvenient Truth” has affected many people in many ways including “governments, leaders, organisations and individuals”. It has caused people to be more aware of and take action towards climate change and the extensive affects it is having.
Since the film:
· 4200 plus tons of Carbon were reduced by people merely switching off their light bulbs
· The United States House of Representatives established a Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming
· 5 countries – England, Scotland, Czech Republic, New Zealand and Germany – and the Canadian province of British Columbia incorporated ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ into their secondary schools’ curricula
As Al Gore is an influential person in society already, it was easier for him to make a wider audience appeal to allow himself to influence his views onto his audience.
The film bought a widely publicised issue to light where it reached more than a billion people worldwide. This proves that the power of the media is truly affective and can engage a wider audience by means of advertisement, power of position in society and a passion for the wider good.
