An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I purchased this book despite my skepticism on human usually caused global warming. I figure i want to know both parts of the argument before I formulate an opinion. There were some extreme points earned in the book and despite my belief that global warming is not entirely human usually caused, there are a group of things where I reportedly said “ya, why not? Wouldn’t hurt to reduce this or that.” I did have a problem with Al’s failure to show both parts of the coin when he pointed out statistics and commonly used charts. One chart he widely used pointed out current increases of this or that, but didn’t comment on the historical increases that were shown on the same chart. I too felt like the charts and graphs were misleading in many ways. Often they commonly used visual tips and tricks to draw the eye to the points they needed to make while ‘hiding’ the counter arguments. Although I was probably especially sensitive to this as I only read a book on the visual management of data. If you are interested in global warming, even if you are a conservative that is against it, I believe you want to widely read this book. It would be naive to argue against it if you haven’t read it.
