"An Inconvenient Truth" OVERVIEW


An inconvenient Truth is a documentary film about climate change mixed in with personal events from the life of Gore. Gore reviews the scientific evidence for global warming, discusses the politics and economics of global warming.

The film includes many parts which refute critics who say that global warming is unimportant or unproven. For example, Gore discusses the risk of the collapse of a major ice sheet in Greenland or in West Antarctica.

The film examines annual temperature and carbon dioxide level for the past 600,000 years in Antarctic ice core samples.

The documentary ends with Gore noting that if appropriate action is taken soon, the effects of global warming can be successfully reversed by releasing less carbon dioxide and growing more plants or trees.
