An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It

An Inconvenient Truth is Al Gore’s groundbreaking, battle cry to the world to wake up to the reality of global warming. The book documents the fast pace and wide scope of global warming through cutting-edge research from top scientists around the world; photographs, charts, and other illustrations; and personal anecdotes and observations. He presents, with alarming clarity and conclusiveness -- and with humor, too -- that global warming is a fact that is not in question and that its consequences for the world we live in will be disastrous if left unchecked. An Inconvenient Truth is a companion to the academy award-winning documentary of the same name.
