An Inconvenient Truth

The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It

This companion volume to the documentary examines the severe ecological threat posed by global climate change. Al Gore details rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and correlates them with accelerating temperature increases and shifting precipitation patterns across the globe. Using photographs charts and graphs the text illustrates the rapid retreat of glaciers and other environmental shifts. The book concludes with practical steps individuals and nations can take to reduce emissions and address the planetary crisis.
