An Inconvenient Truth

I found this book to be an excellent read which conveyed the urgency of the climate crisis and the need to address this issue immediately. I watched Al Gore’s documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, and it was riveting. I noted that there was a companion book and read this as a top priority.

I found the book to be written in layman’s terms–making it quite an easy read for anyone to understand why addressing climate change is fundamental to our future survival on this planet. I came across this book while I was close to finishing my PhD thesis on… show more.

As a former vice president of the United States, Gore was the best-known American political figure to make climate change a priority personal and professional issue as early as the 1980s, literally forcing it into the United States and world political discourse, meanwhile using mass politics as a springboard to publicize the importance of the issue in the present world and for many generations to come.

US Vice President Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his environmental work and advocacy on climate change.

This critically important and much acclaimed book about the climate crisis now facing our world combines history with evidence from environmental science to combat the views of climate change deniers in a very convincing manner. Its numerous images and statistics should provide us with the incentive to change many of the ways we live our lives, personally, corporately, and internationally.

Fortunately, the messages are slowly being heeded, but we are running out of time.
