An Inconvenient Truth is a presentation that encompasses the Earth’s history, present condition, and projected future in terms of climate. Gore proposes fact after fact, chart after chart and image after image that startles the mind and persuades the viewer to become part of the solution. The most striking details are in knowing that there will soon be a shortage of drinking water due to the constant melting of glaciers; the hottest 10 years in Earth’s history have occurred within the last 14 years; polar bears are being forced to swim more than 60 miles to find ice and, in 2005, the world observed a record-breaking number of hurricanes, typhoons, and tornados.
I think Gore gets the science right. The small errors don't detract from Gore's main point, which is that people in the United States have the technological and institutional ability to have a significant impact on the future trajectory of climate change. This is not entirely a scientific issue indeed, but Gore repeatedly makes the point that it is a moral issue.
