Review of An Inconvenient Truth (2006) by Koala B — 30 Jul 2009

The impact this film made cannot be questioned: it created widespread awareness of one specific aspect on humanity's destruction of the environment.

I didn't see the film at the time because I was already environmentally aware and having seen it now I am a bit shocked it managed to stir such a response in people. I like the films message and I like Al Gores work, but I didn't like that the film was pleading for hero worship -it was desperate in the wrong way.

If you already understand global warming and especially if you have broader interest in environmental issues this film has nothing to offer but emotional manipulation, simple visuals to explain it to you like you are a child and lot's of people cheering for Al Gore.

I agree that much needs to be done but carbon is not the only problem and industry not just individuals need to make big changes.
