An Inconvenient Truth—Gore's groundbreaking, battle cry of a follow-up to the bestselling Earth in the Balance—is being published to tie in with a documentary film of the same name. Both the book and film were inspired by a series of multimedia presentations on global warming that Gore created and delivers to groups around the world. With this book, Gore, who is one of our environmental heroes—and a leading expert—brings together leading-edge research from top scientists around the world; photographs, charts, and other illustrations; and personal anecdotes and observations to document the fast pace and wide scope of global warming. He presents, with alarming clarity and conclusiveness—and with humor, too—that the fact of global warming is not in question and that its consequences for the world we live in will be disastrous if left unchecked. This riveting new book—written in an accessible, entertaining style—will open the eyes of even the most skeptical.

This is a point/counterpoint essay I wrote on global warming for my energy & the environment class:I read the Inconvenient Truth and watched the documentary when they first came out a few years ago, and I have been very concerned about climate change since then. Ive calculated my carbon footprint and taken steps to reduce and I encourage others to do the same. At first glance, I thought that this assignment might be similar to the evolution vs. creationism/intelligent design debates. On the

My first degree was in science and I continue to have an abiding interest in it. I regularly read articles and books related to the sciences. My biggest problem with this book is that the "science" is embarassingly absent. Subtracting politics and just looking at the so-called science this book bases its premises on have been found to be either meritless or skewed. I soldily believe we DO need to care for this planet but please lets base our discussions on facts, not computer models that aren't

Excellent book. A good starter for the climate debate. In closing, I would like to say Man-Bear-Pig. It's scary folks.

In theory, I love this book. I must admit though that both times I've seen the movie I fell asleep halfway through.I think it was just a coincidence (jetlag), but all the same. Anyway, I didn't feel sleepy when I read Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air.

The Importance of being InconvenientA good test of truth is to see if an idea/opinion/economic suggestion is an "Inconvenient Truth", especially if it is inconvenient for the speaker. If it is not, chances are that the expounder is just playing to his own and his audience's biases."Because economic and social phenomena are so forbidding, or at least so seem, and because they yield few hard tests of what exists and what does not, they afford to the individual a luxury not given by physical

An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore is an incredibly interesting and relevant book that describes the causes of global warming and its impact on the natural and developed world. Even though the book might have partially been written to persuade readers that global warming does exist, it's full of great information that helps the reader make connections between the many causes and effects of climate change. The information included in it is all written in simple language, and the many colorful and
