12 years late, but better late than never. Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth remains a basic must-see for anyone who wants to know more about what is and has been happening to the Earth via climate change.
The movie is based on his famous travelling slideshow and his personal travels to far-flung areas of the planet to get a better idea of what has been happening re. global warming. It is punchy and fact-based, with many impressive charts, stats, footage, and stills. It reveals, even today, how, under Trump, the U.S. has backed away from the hard truths of Gore’s messages.
Most in danger are the coastal cities, which has been borne out since 2006 when this documentary was made. People living in those areas should be very nervous, especially when you think of millions being displaced. Lately, with the hurricanes, we have been witnessing a foreshadowing of hos bad it is going to get for these places.
Given the Bush ignorance on climate science vs. gold bars (one of the funnier, absurd moments) shown in this film, the trade-offs are spelled out pretty clearly as to what American and Western priorities typically are.
An Inconvenient Truth is basic informative eco info and quite convincing. Certainly anyone looking to reduce their carbon footprint or wanting to save the planet should check this movie out. It speaks loudly for itself as a significant A/V tool and basic on the road to Earth’s salvation and recovery. Two thumbs way up.
