Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change in the most talked-about documentary of the year. An audience and critical favorite An Inconvenient Truth makes the compelling case that global warming is real man-made and its effects will be cataclysmic if we don't act now. Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way: often humorous frequently emotional always fascinating. In the end An Inconvenient Truth accomplishes what all great films should: it leaves the viewer shaken involved and inspired.System Requirements:Run Time: 96 mins Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

Changed my view of the world...
We watched this in school for science class, our whole class stunned by it. Not only is it entertaining, but factual. We should have voted Al Gore for the president -_-

This DVD put me to sleep...literally.
All I can say is...wow. After being put to sleep the first time I tried to watch it, I watched it again and can now conclude that this DVD is complete and utter BS. Al Gore takes global warming to a whole new level, one that is full of inaccuracy, random correlations, and strategically placed mush for sentimental effect. How anyone could say this is an accurate, convincing portrayal of global warming boggles my mind, because all I see is plenty of junk science. Enough said.

great
I watched this for the first time in an environmental biology class and just had to buy it. I always recommend it to my friends and family because I found it to be very informative. I would highly recommend this documentary to anyone regardless of political party. It's our world. Without it, we wouldn't be here. Whether everything in the video is true or not, it really opens your eyes to how influential our actions are on the Earth. I advise all skeptics to at least give it a chance.

The scientific evidence for human-accelerated climate change has been laid out clearly over the past 30 years, each year becoming clearer. Gore has taken on the task of presenting the information to thousands of audiences around the world and this movie documents that. The film is not about political positions, which have only served to polarize this issue. This is a scientific phenomenon that some wish to ignore because of the myth that you can't be pro-environment and capitalist at the same time. I have a degree in Earth Science and the evidence for human-induced climate change seemed overwhelming as an undergraduate student 15 years ago, now we have clear effects rapidly materializing.

The film makes clear the moral responsibility to address our impacts on global warming, and that decision makers who continue to ignore or otherwise dismiss the issue are jeopordizing the balance in earth systems that permits life to thrive on this unique planet. There is hope, but we must act now. If you are not sure where to begin, start with this film. If you are one of the dwindling number of skeptics, please put your assumptions aside and watch this movie. We owe it to our offspring to do what is in our power to reduce our impacts on the atmosphere and preserve the ability of Earth to provide for intelligent life.

Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
Seldom somebody has pulled off such a magnificent integrated marketing stunt as Mr. Al Gore with this "movie" (actually, it is a VERY long commercial for his associated business trading in CO2 "credits". Only rarely the true marketing character of this venture comes through, when snippets of 400 Million $ ad campaigns "to make people aware of global warming" flash trough the networks. The Gores always were savvy businessmen, be it father Gore with his Armand Hammer / Oxy ventures (oil business for those that are not aware), exploiting links to the communist block dating back to Uncle Joe days, or be it the son who has discovered that dealing in the ultimate derivative is the easiest way to make money (did he learn this from the federal reserve?). That the politicians like it is only natural: Al needs a lot of regulation to succeed in his venture, and he graciously has given a new life to ideas of even higher taxes, thought dead for some decades now..... So the entire elite wins.
