Al Gore shows that the levels of atmosphere carbon dioxide have varied throughout Earth's history. In the graph, the carbon dioxide levels have significantly increased recently. It is the highest the level has ever been and is expected to continue to rise. In his presentation, he shows that the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have a direct correlation to the temperature of the Earth. If carbon dioxide levels go up, so does the Earth's temperature. He states that this is important because the temperature of the Earth affects the weather as well as the disappearance of the polar ice caps. He makes this point about carbon dioxide levels to encourage the people of the world to do something before global warming becomes an even larger problem.
I can just give you a suggestion of a story that I have watched. It's " How the Grinch stole the Christmas". The theme of the cartoon is that Christmas is not about presents. One evidence from the cartoon is that after Grinch stole all the presents from the people's houses, they were still happy and they were singing together by holding hands like the presents were nothing for them. At the end the Grinch realized his mistake and gave back all the staffs that he stole.
I hope it helps a little.
