About An Inconvenient Truth

This film chronicles Al Gore's personal campaign to bring the science of global warming and climate change to the world stage. The consequences that will follow if world governments do nothing is portrayed with urgency. The film follows Gore (VP of the U.S. from 1992-2000 and a lifelong advocate for the environment) as he lugs his own luggage through airports and makes presentations across the country. In the meantime, the audience becomes familiar with the science behind climate change and global warming.

Gore's lectures are anything but dull. For one, they're conducted amid a compelling array of film and video footage, photographs, wall-size charts and graphs, and even animation. And for another, Gore is relaxed and energized in ways that might have changed his failed bid for the presidency in 2000.

Thus he tells audiences -- in earnest, wonkish detail -- about the isotopes trapped in air bubbles under the Antarctic ice. He explains how the emissions have elicited a biblical barrage of typhoons, tornadoes, hurricanes and heat waves from New Orleans to Mumbai. If all college courses had presentations this evocative and sophisticated, no universities would hurt for enrollment. -The Washington Post

The movie won two Oscars and contributed to Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 along with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
