My introduction to Al Gore's documentation proof that the earth was in trouble of environmental collapse, was when I was in college back in 1992 and I was using his book "Earth in the Balance" for the basis of a final paper for PSC1515. I was also working as a volunteer for the Clinton/Gore campaign and was honored to hear him speak on the topic many times. So after his 8yr tenure of being the "Environmental VP", I only thought it prudent to continue to read what he had to say. Mind you, I am a Democrat and I was a little put off by the political implications and innuendos that were addressed but facts don't lie. He's done a remarkable job of bringing these potential disasters to light as well as trying to explain the what's and why's of Mother Nature's recent upchucks in basic enough terms for even the enviro-illiterate to understand. Hopefully, the documentation and facts open new debate and concern and people can look beyond the fact that he is still upset after 6yrs about getting robbed of the Presidential honor he so justly won and deserved.Read full review
A book of lies and speculation without scientific proof. The great hoax. CO2 is slowly converted by living organisms to seashells ( limestone ) coal , oil and natural gas stored in the sediments . The Earth atmosphere depletes CO2 to levels so low that photosynthetic processes no longer continue. All plants starve , growth slows and live on Earth as we know it ends. Yes , the Earth is warming slightly ,and the climate is changing. A small price compared to the death of everything green. At 200ppm of atmospheric CO2 the desertification of Earth had already begun. The earth is greening now. Men have reversed the trend a little. At the time of the dinosaurs CO2 levels were above 4000ppm . That is why the giant herbovours could live.

If you want to sensationalize Global Warming by the use of smoke & mirrors, TAKE SOME TIME AND WRITE A BOOK that will scare us into believing CO2 levels will destroy us all. THIS BOOK IS TOTAL RUBBISH! Don't you get it yet? The EARTH is involved in a cycle that continues going up & down. This is an ANCIENT NATURAL PHENOMENON that is continually reoccurring CONSTANTLY. Notice that ever 360 years A CYCLE OF EXTREME MOISTURE enters the atmosphere due to natural PATTERNS caused by VULCANISM (earth activity) which warms the SEAS, Solar cycles (Sun spots) causing EXTRA RADIATION, IN-TURN DRIVING long-term climate changes, NOT MANKIND & CERTAINLY NOT C02 EMISSION. All of this RUBBISH has to do with POWER/CONTROL of the MASSES. Let's just do some CO2 comparisons here. C02 levels inside a submarine usually stay around about 6000 ppm (parts per million). A large crowd in an auditorium can get up to 10,000-12,000 ppm. Commercial Greenhouse Growing is 1,000-1,200 ppm. Currently, air is at it's all time 600 million year low at 385 ppm. Solving this puzzle is like working it without the box cover. However, this is totally laughable since we all exhale CO2 & the plants on our earth need & have had more Carbon Dioxide (C02) for millions of years & thrived much better with higher levels. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) should be RENAMED THE IRRESPONSIBLE POLITICAL CLIMATE COVER-UP. I had my suspicions but didn't think enough to question. Applying this publicly, WE are LESS comfortable with Science TODAY, let alone climate science models. OUR IMMEDIATE WORRIES SHOULD BE ABOUT THE NEXT MINI ICE AGE. 20% of OUR community SEEMS comfortable with science facts. 80% avoid THE FACTS of C02 levels because they just are not versed in the subject. I bet that you can't find a successful journalist that doesn't jump on this like flies on flypaper for this reason. Journalist usually produce what sells; sensationalism truly sells (we are all going to FRY & THE SKY IS FALLING). People are generally receptive to the information being published, but are still healthily skeptical, however, it's currently political suicide to suggest anyone might not care about ecology. Most politicians are afraid to make a stand. Politicians have defined the navigational structure of this conversation. So that if you navigate certain terrain to verify evidence for something, then you are in a political mine-field. The architecture of the focus is already set; the dialogue is set; energetic mind-fields in the public ethos, the psychological & emotional mysticism is already primed. The collective concern fits perfectly into this story that we have been fed in which I too bought. I bought IT HOOK, LINE, & SINKER because it sounded sensible & believable. Thanks to Robert Felix's "Magnetic Reversals & Evolutionary Leaps" & "Not by Fire but by Ice" & going to ICEAGENOW.COM, I now feel totally informed about this subject. IT'S A CYCLE, & that correlates to changes in the sun, changes in the magnetic fields, earth spin, & changes that have to do with climate extinctions. Nobody can afford to be wrong about this. Europe can't afford to take chances now since a major MINI-ICE AGE is truly inevitable. I would bet that most in charge already have taken action & have contingencies in place to seize control of power. An entire evil industrial international complexity is on the way. This is a disaster for us all. Don't believe this rubbish. Try and GET SMART!Read full review
The Inconvenient Truth means to tranmit a volume of data, pictures, and concepts to you. It reads like similiar to a magazine article which is smooth and flows well but has the added comprehensive maps and pictures which compliment most of the points Gore is demonstrating. I bought it believing it would only be for subject matter experts but it's made to raise awareness and provide you with a strong opinion of the change in our world over the last 100 years and projects of our future climate. I read it casually over a few weeks and retained much information while I know others who have skimmed the entire work in one sitting. The book is versitile enough to serves many reading types and speeds. I highly recommend it.
This is a most wonderful work performed to help the world understand the crises we have all contributed to. It is a life dedication by Mr. Gore, who is indeed a humanitarian. Everyone should read it to understand what part (no matter how small it seems) they can play to make this a good world for our children. This book should also be incorporated in the Science classes at the correct level in schools. A MUST READ!!!
