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.

Summary: The possible mission by Al Gore.
Comment: The video is certainly an eye opener. Al Gore has already presented the global issue facing the humanity. The question is what are we going to do about it? I truly hope the international leadership come together on a common ground in finding solutions.

Summary: thought-provoking
Comment: If you've been living in a cave, this is Al Gore's documentary about global warming.
I found it well organized, easy to understand without being overly simplistic, and very thought-provoking. It left me both infuriated and chagrined.

Summary: A Surprisingly Warming Experience
Comment: I admit to being a skeptic about the causes and cures of global warming. I purchased this movie a part of my personal study to begin teaching Environmental Science at a Jr. College. What a wake up call I got in this surprisingly compelling piece. In addition to learning more about the "truth" of our environmental dilemma, I saw a completely different side of Al Gore - a soft, sensible, knowledgeable, and likeable person. I've shown this movie to several classes and lots of friends. A must see for skeptics and activists alike.

Summary: WAKE UP ! The world's in danger!!
Comment: Excellent work Mr. Gore!! Very clear, eloquent, comprehensive, balanced, well researched and well presented. If after watching this DVD you still don't understand or care about global warming, you'd better get your I.Q. tested and start seeing a shrink. The problem is real and the consequences for ignoring the facts are devastating. The side effects of the industrial revolution are real and worrying. Examples of the enviromental pollution are readily available. Open your eyes and wake up!! Some philosopher once said, that the eyes can't see what the mind doesn't know. How true that is! On the other hand, never underestimate the power of denial, this is truly an inconvenient truth for many. How can anyone still not get it???? For more complete information read Mr. Gore's book with the same title.

Summary: Inconvenient waste of time
Comment: What a hypocrite! The limousine liberal Gore lectures on the dangers of global warming, yet he is seen frequently in the video riding in the back seat of a large sedan rather than in a Hybrid. In one shot, he is boarding an empty, fuel thirsty Boeing 747. I guess it's OK for Gore emit vast amounts of Greenhouse gass since he is saving the world, but not for the common folk like me.
The video does make a compelling argument. My issue is with the almost next President.
