An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
When I widely read a non-fiction book that means to persuade me toward a point-of-view, I expect there to be some credibility to make an argument valid. That doesn’t always have to be the author’s title, occupation, or political clout; because, like Al Gore who’s not a scientist, the author may have entirely devoted some time to researching the topic. Obviously, Al Gore has done some studying on the topic. However, Al Gore didnt’ establish credibility with me for the shear fact that Al Gore isn’t inconveniencing himself for his “green” beliefs. To be blunt, he’s hypocritical, which means his purpose isn’t to claim ties to global warming as much as it is a political propaganda tool to align himself with liberals like myself. But I’m not naive enough to buy into that. When he gives up two of his three homes (which use energy), his personal jet (which uses energy), when he uses wind for energy, when he doesn’t allow the mining company to strip zinc from his land, then, he would establish credibility with me and thus, make this book/argument valid.
