    Synopsis

    An Inconvenient Truth, Gore's groundbreaking battle cry of a follow-up to the bestselling Earth in the Balance, will be published to tie in with a documentary film of the same name that will be seen in theaters across the country in May. 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.

    The New York Times - Michiko Kakutani

    … as a user-friendly introduction to global warming and a succinct summary of many of the central arguments laid out in those other volumes, An Inconvenient Truth is lucid, harrowing and bluntly effective.

    May 27, 2009: The sky is falling! The sky is falling! It's easy to construct an agenda-driven book based on nothing more than assumptions and unproven scenarios. Check the weather pattern folks, we are actually in a cooling period. The weatherman can hardly tell whether or not it's going to rain tomorrow, but based on our....what....110 years of weather records we know, without a doubt, that we are the reason for the earth's current climate and that any natural increase in temperature is a product of humans. Yet, records show that the earth has always fluctuated. Even during the industrial revolution, when our output was at one of its highest levels, we were in a cooling period. This book, and the movie, is garbage. There are so many flaws and inconsistencies it is almost humorous. Science has proven that it is wrong 100 times over. To have students watching this is an insult to the (socailist-driven) school system. And, to give Al Gore....who is no more than a puppet that apparently invented the Internet....one of the world's grandest prizes is an insult to anybody that has ever won the Nobel Peace Prize. A slap in the face to winners of the past, present, and future.

    Do not buy this book. Do some real research on your own. Educate yourself, and stay away from the KoolAid. Did you know one of the polar ice cap scenes was actually a clip from the movie 'Day After Tomorrow.' This is a joke. It should be taken as such.
