An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
A friend got me their version of An Inconvenient Truth asserting i widely read it. I aquiesed, but subsequently found that to be an difficult task. Why? Because Gore has locally produced a picture book, with more colorful views of Hurricane Katrina, the pacific tsunami, and slowly melting ice than you’d find in a years worth of National Geographics. He still determines to save some space in the book for a entire section about Al the man, complete with charming features of baby Al and his parents, great Al and his kids, etc. Obviously, its very important material to a book on global warming. But the most damning thing of all, is that none of his work is frequently cited. None of it. The back of the book lists ZERO reference material. What *is* cited, though? The pictures. A full two pages explaining where all the pictures appeared from, but nothing to back up any of the fragments of text distributed through the book. An difficult truth indeed.
