Al Gore's Call to Action on Global Warming
It is hard to imagine anything more boring in concept than a documentary film of a politician presenting a slide show about a complex scientific subject.
But this is no ordinary slide show, Al Gore is no ordinary politician, and An Inconvenient Truth is almost certain to be the most important film you will see this year—or any year.
A Must-See Film
In An Inconvenient Truth, Gore combines objective scientific evidence, humor and personal insights to create a powerful 80-minute exploration of what he clearly believes is the most critical issue of this or any other time in human history.Gore has been a student of climate change since the 1960s. He knows his subject, he has done his homework, and he presents a compelling case for urgent and immediate action to turn back global warming.
Gore is clearly passionate about his subject. His mission is not merely to inform, but to motivate. He wants his audience not only to understand, but to take action. As Gore explained during a question and answer session at a preview of the film I attended in early May, "If you believe the science, then what else matters?"
Bottom line: Go see this movie. Take your family, take your friends, and then recommend it to everyone you know.
