These same people, many of whom describe An Inconvenient Truth as 'political propaganda,' are also overwhelmingly promoting a right wing political agenda that has NOTHING to do with mainsteam science. The majority of the one and two star reviews are written by people who apparently haven't read the book or seen the movie and are just using this space to promote their own, or somebody else's, book. If you read the customer reviews of this book closely, you'll notice two things: 1. Every classroom or at least every school should buy this book. This is a MUST read if anyone cares for our children. Our beautiful planet earth doesn't have the resources to accommodate our abuse. There are skeptics to Gore's facts, it is important that we evaluate our human behaviors. I describe him as a messenger, and he acknowledges those dozens of scientists that helped him understand this crisis. I can relate to Gore as he is like many of us, non-scientists. I came away from this book wanting to know more. I am saddened to think that in 50 years my children will not enjoy our earth's luster and beauty, instead they might be dodging looters, bizarre weather catastrophes, soaring hot temperatures and eventual doom. I'd admit this book instills fear as the facts were quite disturbing. Myrtle Beach, Savannah, Charleston, Jacksonville, Boston, Portland-Maine, don't say Gore didn't tell you so. Remember the chaos in New Orleans? It can happen again to the next coastal city, so New York City, Atlantic City, Miami, Washington D.C. Gore breaks it down for all of us non-meteorologist with the use of maps, full-color photos, lab data, graphs etc.so us laments can understand the severe crisis our planet is in. How about designating a day, where we are encouraged to walk or bike or take mass transit to work? It may not be possible for some, so how about rearranging your schedule and carpool? Yes it is inconvenient for most of us Americans to take our part. Can't we designate one day, where we can use our own book bags, tote bags instead of the paper or plastic bags at the grocers? This can make such a difference if each of us can pinch in somehow.

Gore's stature, is out there is continuing to remind us of the 'inconvenient truth', yes it is inconvenient and better to deny the real scary truth, yes it is inconvenient to get a car with better emission output, yes it is inconvenient to tell the cashier 'no need to bag that juice' so that bag doesn't become another piece of garbage that contributes to the greenhouse gases. He is using his presence and power to bring awareness to a very important cause - global warming.

Like many Americans who were disappointed when Al Gore's bid for president were unsuccessful, this loss didn't fall by the wayside.
