A long-time environmental activist, Al Gore first became aware of evidence on global warming in the 1970s, and since leaving public office he has become a passionate advocate for large- and small-scale changes in our laws and lifestyles that could help alleviate this crisis. An Inconvenient Truth records a multi-media presentation hosted by Gore in which he discusses the scientific facts behind global warming, explains how it has already begun to affect our environment, talks about the disastrous consequences if the world's governments and citizens do not act, and shares what each individual can do to help protect the Earth for this and future generations.
I was very impressed with Al Gore and this documentary in particular. That's not a political statement as it doesn't matter if your a Republican or Democrat - global warming affects us all. Now, I'm not saying "the sky is falling" or "the end is near." However, it is an issue that's worth paying attention to and this documentary makes it easy for the layman to become educated. Of course, with any documentary, it's presents only what the researcher wants you to see, but it's a pretty compelling argument. I'm not suggesting you rush out and buy a car that runs on vegetable oil, but it wouldn't hurt to see this film and become more educated. If nothing else, it sure contains some fascinating pictures and graphs.
