Editorial Review:
Description:
Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change in the most talked-about documentary of the year. An audience and critical favorite, An Inconvenient Truth makes the compelling case that global warming is real, man-made, and its effects will be cataclysmic if we don’t act now. Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way: often humorous, frequently emotional, always fascinating. In the end, An Inconvenient Truth accomplishes what all great films should: it leaves the viewer shaken, involved and inspired.

With the fate of our planet arguably hanging in the balance, An Inconvenient Truth may prove to be one of the most important and prescient documentaries of all time. As he jokingly refers to himself, "former President-elect" Al Gore felt an urgent personal calling to draw attention--as he had been doing throughout his political career--to the increasingly desperate crisis of global warming, and this riveting documentary is basically a filmed version (by respected TV director Davis Guggenheim) of the PowerPoint lecture that Gore has presented (by his own estimate, well over 1,000 times) to attentive audiences all over the world. Considering Gore's amiable, low-key approach to charts, graphs, statistics, and photographs that leave no room for doubt regarding the reality (not "theory") of global warming as Earth's ultimate environmental crisis, many viewers will be surprised by just how fascinating and convincing this no-frills film really is.
As we learn about the milestone events that shaped his character (including his sister's death and young son's near-fatal injuries after being struck by a car), Gore sheds the stiff demeanor of his 2000 presidential campaign and impresses us as a man with a mission, transcending partisan politics with an impassioned plea for common sense, ethical forthrightness, and passionate purpose in reversing the harmful effects of global warming through personal and political responsibility. Some may accuse Gore of exploiting global warming as a Democratic platform, but his honest conviction regarding this "inconvenient truth" (i.e. overwhelming evidence of global warming that's troublesome to those whose interests are threatened by Gore's irrefutable message) is likely to silence all but the most obtusely stubborn detractors. By taking the high road and discreetly avoiding a full-on assault against the George W. Bush administration (which has steadfastly avoided "the inconvenient truth" with obfuscating spin control and policies favoring the oil industry), Gore effectively rises above political differences with a stern but hopeful eye toward a better future for our children.--Jeff Shannon

The video is certainly an eye opener. Al Gore has already presented the global issue facing the humanity. The question is what are we going to do about it? I truly hope the international leadership come together on a common ground in finding solutions.

If you've been living in a cave, this is Al Gore's documentary about global warming.
I found it well organized, easy to understand without being overly simplistic, and very thought-provoking. It left me both infuriated and chagrined.

I admit to being a skeptic about the causes and cures of global warming. I purchased this movie a part of my personal study to begin teaching Environmental Science at a Jr. College. What a wake up call I got in this surprisingly compelling piece. In addition to learning more about the "truth" of our environmental dilemma, I saw a completely different side of Al Gore - a soft, sensible, knowledgeable, and likeable person. I've shown this movie to several classes and lots of friends. A must see ... Read More

Excellent work Mr. Gore!! Very clear, eloquent, comprehensive, balanced, well researched and well presented. If after watching this DVD you still don't understand or care about global warming, you'd better get your I.Q. tested and start seeing a shrink. The problem is real and the consequences for ignoring the facts are devastating. The side effects of the industrial revolution are real and worrying. Examples of the enviromental pollution are readily available. Open your eyes and wake up!! Some ... Read More

What a hypocrite! The limousine liberal Gore lectures on the dangers of global warming, yet he is seen frequently in the video riding in the back seat of a large sedan rather than in a Hybrid. In one shot, he is boarding an empty, fuel thirsty Boeing 747. I guess it's OK for Gore emit vast amounts of Greenhouse gass since he is saving the world, but not for the common folk like me.
The video does make a compelling argument. My issue is with the almost next President.
