These are called drunken trees just going every which way. This is the largest ice shelf in the Arctic, the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf. I say canary in the coal mine because the Arctic is one part of the world that is experiencing faster impact from global warming. Of course the Arctic Ocean has a floating ice cap, Greenland on its side there. It seems gradual in the course of a human lifetime but in the course of time as defined by this river, it’s happening very, very quickly. Here on this farm, the patterns are changing.

The places where people live were chosen because of the climate pattern that has been pretty much the same on Earth since the end of the last ice age. (Gore revisits the family farm and reminisces about growing up there.) And that has consequences for us in the United States, as well. Soil evaporation increases dramatically with higher temperatures. The second reason why this is a paradox: Global warming creates more evaporation off of the oceans to seeds the clouds, but it sucks moisture out of the soil. It has dried up over the last few decades to almost nothing, vastly complicating the other problems that they also have. This is Lake Chad, once one of the largest lakes in the world. One of the factors that has been compounding this is the lack of rainfall and the increasing drought. Darfur and Niger are among those tragedies. Unbelievable tragedies have been unfolding there and there are a lot reasons for it. Focus most of all on this part of Africa just on the edge of the Sahara. One of the reasons for this has to do with the fact that global warming not only increases precipitation worldwide, but it also relocates the precipitation. This neighboring province right next door had a severe drought at the same time these areas were flooding. Global warming paradoxically causes not only more flooding, but also more drought. Mumbai, India this past July (2005): 37 inches of rain in 24 hours, by far the largest downpour that any city in India has ever received.

See the damage from these severe weather events. The insurance industry has actually noticed this. One often unnoticed effect of global warming is it causes more precipitation, but more of it coming in one-time big storm events because the evaporation off the oceans puts all the moisture up there when storm conditions trigger the downpour, more of it falls down. It brought into clear focus, the mission that I had been pursuing for all these years. But what do you do? You make the best of it. Gore: While I strongly disagree with the court’s decision, I accept it. Supreme Court throws the decision to Bush.) (Background: 2000 election debacle in Florida.
