Summary: Recommended by 10 out of 10 scientists!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
Comment: 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.

Summary: Lies based on Lies
Comment: This entire Global Warming movement will go down in history as the ultimate hoax of all time. Carbon does NOT cause global warming and only comprises .054% of the Earth's green house gases. That's less than a single percent. Man can only effect 9% of that .054%. It's all a lie to turn on the carbon tax system which will redistribute wealth, exterminate the blacks in Africa, and give total and utter power to the Elite. Watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle" to see a real piece of scientific fact.

Summary: A Must See: You're life may depend on it!
Comment: I thought this documentary would be boring but I discovered it was just the opposite, it was fascinating!
Al Gore doesn't try to scare you he just presents the facts over the last 40 years of watching it happen. He doesn't rely on future predictions like I thought he would to scare you (he does show them to you through computer models and yes they are scary) but it's more a plea to your common sense side to start doing something about it because we can turn it around if we all work together.
It's about believing that it's real and that you can help to convince your government to pass laws requiring companies to become more green. The video also give some suggestions at the very end as to what you can do as an individual to slow this problem down.

Summary: Incoveniently Mesmerizing; A Must See
Comment: The very fact that all the points Mr. Gore makes in this thrilling film, he painstakingly backs up with undeniable and verifiable historical and scientific proof, makes this film worth seeing. I say painstakingly because I can only imagine the opposition he must have encountered while making it.
The film is both haunting and captivating. I'll bet you'll catch yourself sitting on the edge of your seat at some point duting the movie, if not during most of it.
Everyone should set aside their biased political views for just a couple of hours and watch this film. Don't forget the popcorn and soda to make it a night to remember. Yes, Mr. Gore is passionate about his work but, so what, everyone should be.
So, go for it- set politics aside for once and see the film. It'll probably be the first part of the rest of your life.

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.
