      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.

      November 14, 2009: I always wondered who was right on global warming. after reviewing the pictures and reading this book I now see that there is change coming. No matter who or why, I now believe it is changing and changing fast. Very easy and interesting to read. Lots of supporting pictures of before and after.

      A total fabrication.by Anonymous

      October 10, 2009: This book is void of any scientific data, new data has repuded most of the content. Purely fictional.
