An Inconvenient Truth -- Al Gore's Call to Action on Global Warming

A review of "An Inconvenient Truth," the documentary film of Al Gore's call to action on global warming.

In a classic example of spin versus substance, an industry-funded "think tank" created and financed a series of television advertisements designed to counter growing public and scientific concerns about global warming, and to stall concrete action by confusing the issue.

A senior scientist whose research is being cited in television ads that challenge the reality of global warming has denounced the ads as a “deliberate effort to confuse and mislead the public” and says the group that produced the ads is misrepresenting his work to support its false claims.

An Inconvenient Truth, a film about global warming featuring former vice president Al Gore, was nominated for two Academy Awards. Already one of the top-grossing documentaries in history, the Oscar nominations are sure to expand the audience for this important and disturbing film.
