Review of An Inconvenient Truth (2006) by Ian B — 03 Nov 2009

An Inconvenient Truth (2006) I saw this on the big screen when it came out and again this week here at home. Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change.

A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. "Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message," said Guggenheim.

An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. "It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely," said Gore.

Mr Gore makes a fine and compelling presentation. Gore's point is a simple one: We have a moral imperative, as individuals and as a nation, to do something about global warming, the dramatic, precipitous rise of world temperatures in the atmosphere, on land and in bodies of water, caused by greenhouse gases.

It seems that no matter which party you belong too it should be fairly easy to see that the industry of mans life and commerce are raising the temperatures. By 2090 we will know how true Mr Gore's predictions were.

I really enjoyed this film please watch it. This is a haunting and inspiring film. It doesn't preach to the converted. On the contrary, it directly and respectfully addresses the questions and concerns of skeptics, methodically piling evidence on top of evidence, until the truth becomes obvious and unmistakable.

five stars.
