An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
Mr. Gore presents the important issue of global warming in a particularly compelling and clearly understood form. I am not a scientist, but I had been trying to educate myself on this topic. It possibly took me 900 contacts of strong understanding to gain the knowledge that Mr. Gore presents in a very accesible form. The book is loaded with images and easily intepreted charts that, together with Mr. Gore’s deeply personal narration, hold the reader’s attention. Reading ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ is a good way to develop an awareness of the major matter of our time. Our actions in response to global warming will determine not only the condition of our children’s lives, but whether they will have lives, detailed lives, at all. Mr. Gore takes that rarest of things – a Jeffersonian meaning of public duty. In this we are truly fortunate because that meaning of public duty has given the Republic a notable teacher. Kevin McCabe
