With this book, the author, former Vice President Al Gore 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.… (mer)

Historically perhaps the first closest moment the US "government" has got to an overarching view of global warming and impact, it is essential for anyone studying the way this issue has gone through the public understanding of science.

The problem with the text is its most important feature: while simplifying the dialogue for easy access it also sets the discussion around overly simplified messages and does not move beyond into realistic measures.

I believe that the doomsaying ends up threatening conservatives because it comes with suspicions of large government programs as the response. If Gore had been more focused on the potential policy choices rather than hockey sticks, the discussion would have been "what choices do we have" and more unifying in the dialogue, I believe. ( )

Cliche filled pseudo science book which aims to repurpose all of the Gore's political causes into one financially profitable area and advocate for climate crisis changes to the whole world. Gore says that this effort is similar to the space race to the Moon or both World Wars.

Pretty scary stuff. I would think after reading this book, we would all want to do our part to save the environment for future generations. ( )

This is very tolerable pop-science. Gore keeps it rather simple, and changes voice pretty frequently. Sometimes he gives personal details about his own involvement in various political efforts having to do with global warming. Other chapters simply discuss the extent, mechanisms, and impact of climate change.

The talk about God is, no doubt, politically necessary, even for an erstwhile presidential candidate. ( )

Mr. Gore does a cogent job of explaining how global warming can disrupt delicate ecological balances, resulting in the spread of pests (like the pine beetle, whose migration used to be slowed by colder winters), increases in the range of disease vectors (including mosquitoes, ticks and fleas), and the extinction of a growing number of species.

The United States emits about a quarter of the world's greenhouse gases, while the entire continent of Africa is responsible for only about five percent. Just as we cannot actually see the greenhouse gases, we do not see their impact on places so far away. But we helped create the suffering in Africa, and we have a moral obligation to fix it.

This LT work is Al Gore's 2006 book (in the original trade edition), An Inconvenient Truth, which is a companion piece to Davis Guggenheim's similarly-titled 2006 film. Please do not combine either the book with the movie, or the original trade edition of the book with the Young Adult Version of the book. Thank you.
