Description and review: An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary about the devastating effects of climate change. Former American vice president Al Gore gives a convincing and worrying depiction of the state of our planet and its future. He shows that it's threatened by global warming caused by man-produced CO2 emissions.
This documentary is a warning that takes apart myths and mistaken ideas, and it transmits the message that global warming is a very real threat. An Inconvenient Truth gives us convincing arguments to start acting now to save the Earth.
In An Inconvenient Truth Al Gore explores the current climate change information and predictions. He reviews the scientific evidence of global warming, talks about its political and economic aspects, and describes the consequences he believes global climate change will have if the greenhouse effect caused by us isn't drastically reduced within a few years.
We are sitting on a time-bomb. If the scientific community is right, we have no more than ten years to avoid a catastrophe that could cause major floods, droughts, epidemics, heat waves and extreme temperatures like we have never seen before. And this is a man-made catastrophe. This moving documentary shows Al Gore as an open and entertaining man willing to do anything to tell the world the fascinating truth he calls our "planetary emergency".
