I have been convinced of the truth of global warming from the first time I became aware of the issue and saw the evidence. This movie, An Inconvenient Truth solidified my firm stance to help our environment and to the severity of the threat that it is facing and suffering from by global warming.Al Gore presents the arguement in a convincing, powerful and complete powerpoint presentation to a live audience. He covers the subject from all possible angles and addresses the counter-points, shows how they fall short and deconstructs them with vigor and in totality. He then shows what we can do to help bring us back from the point of no return but he warns ( and shows through the presentation) and admonishes us that we are quickly running out of time.
This is a must see documentary whether you currently agree or disagree with global warming. If you see one documentary in you life or this year then make this one it. It may not be the most entertaining but it is perhaps the most important movie to see in the history of film. You will come away with a very solid understanding of the current threats facing our fragile and beautiful environment. Then after seeing this film urge all of your friends and family to see it.
Even if you STILL do not agree with global warming after watching this film I beg of you that we should take action. If for no other reason then it is better to be safe then sorry. After all we only have one planet and we must take precautions and measures to help Mother Earth survive and support human life for generations to come. Do it for your children and grandchildren.

Saw it and was impressed with the way it was put together and presented.
I can't wait to see it although I don't need any convincing. I have read articles by Gore and others. I will take my two children that are still at home.
Very nice review James. I agree on all points. For my review:
An Inconvenient Truth
Come "post for peace" with a group of us on the 4th. If you're interested, details are on my blog.
Glenda:
It was impressive. I want to see it again.
Mary:
I think that's great that you are going to take your kids to see it.
Dbackdad:
I'll be right over and thanks.
cmon guys. puleeze. al gore isnt even a scientist, he doesnt have any qualifications to display his opinions. hes just cranky cause he didnt win the election.
Anonymous;
Yes, you're right that he isn't a scientist and I don't think many people do think that he is.
He is merely a spokes person in this movie for hundreds of scientists who have taught him about the data found in the documentary. He's a channel for the science.
I don't think that making a documentary about a global issue that shouldnt be about politics is sour grapes. He is doing something positive here instead of just going around and bitching about losing the election.
No where in A.I.T does he get into the weeds of fighting the 2000 election. Except for a little joke in the beginning.
