An Inconvenient Truth is an American Academy Award-winning documentary film about global warming, presented by former United States Vice President Al Gore and directed by Davis Guggenheim. The film premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. A companion book authored by Gore reached #1 on the paperback nonfiction New York Times bestseller list on July 2, 2006. Earning $49 million at the box office worldwide, An Inconvenient Truth is the fourth-highest-grossing documentary film to date in the United States. An Inconvenient Truth focuses on Al Gore and his travels in support of his efforts to educate the public about the severity of the climate crisis. Gore says, “I’ve been trying to tell this story for a long time and I feel as I’ve failed to get the message across.” The film closely follows a Keynote presentation that Gore presented throughout the world. It intersperses Gore’s exploration of data and predictions regarding climate change and its potential for disaster with Gore’s life story
I wanted to post the more American media familiar Al Gore film, An Inconvenient Truth. I think this film is a good primer on the issues surrounding global climate change and the impacts associated with it. I think this movie is a good compliment to Earthlings which you can see in a previous post here. Animal use and environmental impact are tied together very closely. One affects the other. Consider this:
The United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization has issued a stunning report on global warming. Livestock production is responsible for more climate change gasses than all the motor vehicles in the world.
