An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore is no mere coffee table moneymaker from an ex-politician. Rather, itÆs an insightful and provocative discussion of the truth about global warming. Gore, a 30-year student of the climate crisis, is a thoughtful author who melds leading-edge research from top global warming scientists around the world with anecdotes and humor. The title comes from GoreÆs views on how our current administration is dealing with global warming. He has responded by creating dialogue directly within the global community. ôAlthough it is true that politics at times must play a crucial role in solving this problem, this is the kind of challenge that ought to completely transcend partisanship,ö says Gore. ôThe climate crisis also offers us the chance to experience what very few generations in history have had the privilege of knowing: a generational mission; the exhilaration of a compelling moral purpose; a shared and unifying cause; the thrill of being forced by circumstances to put aside the pettiness and conflict that so often stifle the restless human need for transcendence; the opportunity to rise.ö Be sure to see the movie An Inconvenient Truth, directed by Davis Guggenheim, on GoreÆs campaign to bring worldwide attention to the issue of global warming ù in theaters and available on DVD. GoreÆs book (see related products) offers an excellent opportunity to delve further into the facts of global warming without going dry in the mouth. A
