Kurzbeschreibung
An Inconvenient Truth —- Gore’s groundbreaking, battle cry of a follow-up to the bestselling Earth in the Balance -— is being published to tie in with a documentary film of the same name. Both the book and film were inspired by a series of multimedia presentations on global warming that Gore created and delivers to groups around the world. With this book, Gore, who is one of our environmental heroes —- and a leading expert —- 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. This riveting new book written in an accessible, entertaining style will open the eyes of even the most skeptical.

Format:Taschenbuch
One of the best books to brandish for the cause of world environment. Global warming is something we can not afford to ignore and the world has to work hand in hand to tackle the problem. There is no victor in a world environment which if not managed promises havoc for all. It adds to Union Moujik, Collapse,The Weather Makers , to carry the story for joint socio-economic,political and environmental development.

This book is right in every detail, but incomplete. Al forgot to mention ways we can use today to counter what we want to avoid. Regognizing the truth is the first step to healing. We are in denial right now, and this book is not very much different. This book seems to ignore that we must both devise ways to shape a different future and put to use what we already know; whining about it is not enough. We could put a solar shield in Greenland to cool the snow. We could transform salted ocean water into drinking water to irigate parts of Sahara and grow trees there to stop the desert from producing hurricanes which then speed across the Atlantic and hit on U.S. shores. Technically, we can do it all. But are we willing to try or to whine, actually?

The Factual Evidence is Devastating
2. Juni 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
OK, I'm a lifelong Republican. And for the longest time I resisted the 'global warming' stuff as "hogwash" as Rush says. But for the first time, the actual facts in this book changed my mind. I'm somewhat embarrassed by the overwhelming evidence submitted by Gore, but hey, when you're right, you're right. Congratulations, you've got to hand it to someone who sticks with an issue until the truth comes out.

Pay attention to who attacks this book
29. Juni 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
If you read the customer reviews of this book closely, you'll notice two things:
1. The majority of the one and two star reviews are written by people who apparently haven't read the book or seen the movie and are just using this space to promote their own, or somebody else's, book.
2. These same people, many of whom describe An Inconvenient Truth as "political propaganda," are also overwhelmingly promoting a right wing political agenda that has NOTHING to do with mainsteam science.
As both the book and the movie point out in careful detail, over 900 peer-reviewed, independent, international scientific studies have all reached the same conclusion: Global warming is real, it is being exacerbated by the burning of fossil fuels, and it constitutes a clear and present danger to human health and safety and the global economy.
It's time for America to stop shirking its responsibility as the dominant superpower in the face of a global climate crisis. We need more leaders like the former vice president with the guts to challenge American business and technology to come up with job-creating innovations that will help reduce CO2 emissions so our children can inherit a planet that is as habitable as the one we were born to.
Let's show the world America hasn't lost its can-do spirit!

The Truth
14. Juni 2006
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a former climate scientist I was one of the global warming naysayers. However, the wealth of new scientific information that has arisen in the past 15 years has convinced myself and many others that humanity is on the verge of a major climate catastrophe if action is not taken. Al Gore does an excellent job of distilling the science into what matters to the general public. He does for global warming what Stephen Hawking did for physics by making the concepts and data accessable and understandable to everyone. I am a political moderate, but I can't help but wonder how much better off this country would have been if this intellectually curious and thoughtful gentleman would have been our President.
