Product Description
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE PRESENTS A FRIGHTENING VIEW OFTHE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET - AND OUR CIVILIZATION.
Amazon.com
With the fate of our planet arguably hanging in the balance, An Inconvenient Truth may prove to be one of the most important and prescient documentaries of all time. As he jokingly refers to himself, "former President-elect" Al Gore felt an urgent personal calling to draw attention--as he had been doing throughout his political career--to the increasingly desperate crisis of global warming, and this riveting documentary is basically a filmed version (by respected TV director Davis Guggenheim) of the PowerPoint lecture that Gore has presented (by his own estimate, well over 1,000 times) to attentive audiences all over the world. Considering Gore's amiable, low-key approach to charts, graphs, statistics, and photographs that leave no room for doubt regarding the reality (not "theory") of global warming as Earth's ultimate environmental crisis, many viewers will be surprised by just how fascinating and convincing this no-frills film really is. As we learn about the milestone events that shaped his character (including his sister's death and young son's near-fatal injuries after being struck by a car), Gore sheds the stiff demeanor of his 2000 presidential campaign and impresses us as a man with a mission, transcending partisan politics with an impassioned plea for common sense, ethical forthrightness, and passionate purpose in reversing the harmful effects of global warming through personal and political responsibility. Some may accuse Gore of exploiting global warming as a Democratic platform, but his honest conviction regarding this "inconvenient truth" (i.e. overwhelming evidence of global warming that's troublesome to those whose interests are threatened by Gore's irrefutable message) is likely to silence all but the most obtusely stubborn detractors. By taking the high road and discreetly avoiding a full-on assault against the George W. Bush administration (which has steadfastly avoided "the inconvenient truth" with obfuscating spin control and policies favoring the oil industry), Gore effectively rises above political differences with a stern but hopeful eye toward a better future for our children.--Jeff Shannon

 What a load of lies, propaganda, and crap! August 31, 2010
Jason D. Bailor (New York)
This Inconvenient Lie by the paid shill Al Gore used computerized material from the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" as some proof of what was attempting to be pushed. It is common knowledge by now that Gore's shockumentary has been completely disproven. The "hockey-stick" graph was forced to be removed due to the manipulation that created it. It was found that the rise in temperature is then FOLLOWED by the rise in CO2, not the other way around. The IPCC has been caught in numerous lies and data manipulation, and is now being told to stop reporting on Climate Change. Anthropogenic Global Warming has been completely disproven and only misinformed conditioned idiots still believe in it. The planet has actually been cooling since the late 90's......but it will begin to rise, and then cool, and then rise, and then cool, etc. - just as it always has. The earth, sun, and surrounding planets all go through cycles - they always have and always will. When the earth was warming and blamed on AGW, so were the surrounding planets.....I suppose the same temperature increases on Mars must have been due to SUV's and corporate pollution too!
This all for the purpose of restricting what humans can do while implementing a Carbon Tax (futher robbery) and a Global Tax. Carbon is necessary for plants to breath, in turn producing oxygen so we can breath. Restriction, profit, and eugenics are the aim here. Gore was being sued by 30,000 scientists and climatologists for this, but I am sure most have not seen any of this on the owned corporate media propaganda.
I am all for reduction of polluting and the way we treat the earth, but I am not falling for this propaganda! Do your homework people!!! Stop allowing them to form your belief systems.....stop being lazy.
Al Gore and his tree lovers are full of sh** July 30, 2010

There's no manmade global warming. At least give yourself a try an listen to another DVD that gives you the other side of the story: The Great Global Warming Swindle" a Martin Durkin's documentary.
 Awesome! July 26, 2010

The movie was in awesome condition and it came on time. As far as I'm concerned those are the most important things!
This is still a joke July 24, 2010

This just goes to show, people will fall for anything.
The film was made, the lectures were given (for huge fees), and Al Gore feathered his nest egg by hundreds of millions of dollars, thanks for the most part to people not doing their research, checking those sources, just taking things at face value, or because someone said so. Just like the old days, this elixir will cure lumbago, gout, and any of a hundred aliments. Place a fancy package on it, and folks still eat it up... go figure.
I had long been suspect of the Academy Awards process and selections, as well as the Nobel, now I'm convinced, it's all a huge joke... and the joke is on you.
But ole Al is sure comfy in his multi-million dollar home on the coast, you know the one that was supposed to be destroyed by rising oceans.. remember?. I have nothing against anyone making money, its just plain irritating that Snake Oil Elixirs, Ltd. was so profitable.
Skip it, you'd be better off taking the kiddies out for ice cream.
Thanks Mr. Al "Do as I say, not as I do" Gore July 13, 2010

What a joke......this guy gets an Academy Award.....gets incredibly rich...and will get even richer if Cap and Trade legislation passes.....and yet he flies around the world on private jets...and just bought another 10,000 + square foot mansion in California.....they should put a picture of this guy next to the definition of hypocrite in the Dictionary.
What a joke.
Anyone that willingly hands over their own money to buy/watch this is a fool.
