Amazon.co.uk Review
It’s not a horror film, but An Inconvenient Truth is certainly one of the scariest DVDs you could own. Presented in a straightforward format by former US Vice President Al Gore--think Royal British Institute lecture delivered with a Tennessee drawl--it sets out its compelling argument about climate change both methodically and entertainingly. Global warming is a real danger, argues Gore, and human civilisation is the root cause of it. A dizzying and shocking array of facts relating to carbon emissions, the population explosion and the disintegration of the polar icecaps all add weight to his thesis. Moreover, we’re already witnessing some of the effects of global warming around the world, with an increasing amount of storms, droughts and other natural disasters, more in the past few years. But Gore doesn’t present these facts merely to terrify the viewer. Instead, they’re meant to shock us out of complacency and into action. Indeed, the film ends with some very simple ways we can all contribute to averting this impending global catastrophe. And that, argues Gore, is the point of An Inconvenient Truth. We have the ability to change our ways, what we lack is what Gore describes as "the political will." It is his hope that this film will begin to change all of that. --Ted Kord

You don't have to agree or disagree with it, but gives you a well-focused subject area to think about.
Ponder this point:
If you transfer the hydrocarbons buried in the ground (in the form of crude oil) on to the surface and into the atmosphere (that is where all the diesel and petrol we burn end up), what will be the consequence of this? I don't have the answer but logic tells me that there must be some downside as a consequence.
Some individuals take that extra (or brave) step to articulate their answers and that is what Al Gore does in this video. It may not be 100% correct; it may not be 100% incorrect either. So, in between lies some truth [no pun intended].

This film makes you think. Although I do not agree with most of what Al Gore says, he still puts up a pretty good argument. Really good Documentary.

Scary stuff- but too much about Al Gore, not enough about the planet
I am convinced that global warming is a man-made or at least man-assisted phenomenon and a disaster that needs to be averted. Read more
