An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It (B000QEJ0WY) - Reviews and Prices
The climate crisis may at times appear to be happening slowly, but in fact it is happening very quickly -- and has become a true planetary emergency. The Chinese expression for crisis consists of two characters. The first is a symbol for danger; the second is a symbol for opportunity. In order to face down the danger that is stalking the planet and move through it, listeners first have to recognize that they are facing a crisis. So why is it that public leaders seem not to hear such clarion warnings? Are they resisting the truth because they know that the moment they acknowledge it, they will face a moral imperative to act? Is it simply more convenient to ignore the warnings?
Perhaps, but inconvenient truths do not go away just because they are not seen. Indeed, when they are not responded to, their significance doesn't diminish; it grows.

Don't be stupid,..just Google Earth Al Gore's giant... more info
An Inconvenient Truth About An Inconvenient Truth:
I like the content and I agree to what it says for the most part. My only problem with it is that it is very inconvenient that it isn't available on Kindle... Someone dropped the ball and sacrificed trees in not making it available on electronic media. (I did not mean DVD)
Where is the research?:
Is one supposed to just believe Al Gore? A cranky left wing politician who has no credentials as a scientist, declares man is causing global warming. What a stupid premiss. This book has no research, nothing to substantiate his claims. I guess he appeals to the believing is seeing crowd. Most people with intelligence expect more than that. Global warming is a nothing more than a populist movement, based upon hype. The truth is the climate cycles over the centuries naturally. The Earth just completed a... more info
