An Inconvenient Truth
The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It
Emmaus, Pa. : Rodale Press, [2006]
Format: Book
Description: 325 pages : illustrations (some color), color maps ; 23 cm
An Inconvenient Truth --Gore's groundbreaking, battle cry of a follow-up to the bestselling Earth in the Balance --is being published to tie in with a documentary film of the same name. Both the book and film were inspired by a series of multimedia presentations on global warming that Gore created and delivers to groups around the world. With this book, Gore, who is one of our environmental heroes--and a leading expert--brings together leading-edge research from top scientists around the world; photographs, charts, and other illustrations; and personal anecdotes and observations to document the fast pace and wide scope of global warming. He presents, with alarming clarity and conclusiveness--and with humor, too--that the fact of global warming is not in question and that its consequences for the world we live in will be disastrous if left unchecked. This riveting new book--written in an accessible, entertaining style--will open the eyes of even the most skeptical.
