An Inconvenient Truth

Patronising and infantile. The science is wrong, modern surveys show co2 follows warming; solar activity being the driving force. Humanity is the smallest producer of co2
on the planet and, co2 is arelatively minor greenhouse gas; water vapour being the most important.

Al Gore is peddling a convenient lie for the benifit of Al Gore.

How anyone can watch this and conclude that it has been made up to further Al Gore's career is beyond me. If the slide showing the number of scientists who believe man is not the cause of global warming (0%) versus the media articles claiming the same (53%) isn't convincing enough, try following the advice at the end of the DVD and go and do your own research. Rather than reading an article in a newspaper that tells you not to worry and believing it because it's more... convenient.

Al Gore presents hard facts in an easy-to-understand way, and lets them speak for themselves. They are overwhelming, and I will certainly encourage everyone I know to see this.

Ok, firstly, how to you take this seriously. I mean, the BBC say that the IPCC are the worlds top 2,500 scientists (they're not, but for the purpose of this, let's say they are), the IPCC originally said 6 inches of sea level rise, then they changed it to 2 feet. So I have no idea where Al Gore got his 20 feet from. If the science is settled, why the confusion??

Secondly, this man needs to practice what he preaches. He flies all over the world in a private jet, and just one of his houses uses 20 times more energy than your average household. But sure, he offsets, right??. . .which brings us to the third reason why you can't believe it. He OWNS the company he offsets through. He's a salesman, not a scientist. He's trying to convince you to buy his product. It's like a spirit level salesman telling you that your wall ain't straight, even though the spirit level you've got is telling you it is straight.

I don't want to go into the science of it, but the numbers are so small they are laughable. I mean, CO2 makes up less than 4% of the greenhouse gasses (of which only around 10% are man-made). Greenhouse gasses make up 1% of the atmosphere. The most abundant and radiative greenhouse gas is water vapour, which makes up 95% of the greenhouse gasses (and you thought Honda's hydrogen car that only emits water vapour was good for the environment). It really is laughable.

If you don't believe anything I've said here, just Google it. And then Google "30,000 scientists" to see that the IPCC are really not the top 2,500 scientists in the world, and that the science is far from settled.

And instead of getting this DVD, get The Great Global Warming Swindle DVD, Scared to Death: From BSE to Global Warming: How Scares are Costing Us the Earth by Chris Booker & Rich North, An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming by Nigel Lawson, and Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Force, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed by Chris Horner.

Giving this DVD one star is giving it too much credit. If I could give is less, I would.

The only thing good I have to say about it is, Laurence Bender. He's produced some of the best movies ever, namely Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and The Mexican. Sadly, this is not one of his best movies.

At university I studied climate change and the effects on the environment in great detail. I couldn't believe that such a momumental aspect of how our life as humans' degrading this earth is not taught and understood to every child in every country. An inconvenient truth, has allowed Al Gore to reach out and "teach" the people everything they deserve to know about the immensity of the climate change problem, so that they can make a moral and ethic judgement for themselves. A brilliant and influential movie. Please watch this DVD!!

This is more propaganda than documentary. low on science and high on personal opinion. It glosses over the facts it doesn't want you to know, and tries to connect things that have no connection, or don't relate in the way Al Gore would have you believe.

If you do watch this, then try to see the other side too, and go watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle" as well, as it actually explains the real "truth" behind global warming.
