An Inconvenient Truth

Fellow Bloggers and Lidlites...

I've just returned from the cinema after watching the film 'An Inconvenient Truth' based on a global warming slideshow presented by Al Gore. I have to say it was truly outstanding and i urge you all to take yourselves and encourage as many of your friends and family to watch the film while it is out on the big screen. The film i found didn't tell me anything i didnt already know, however it presented it in such an engaging and understandable way. I actually ended the film hoping it would last longer than it did. The inclusion of never before available statistics recovered by Gore due to his previous ties to the white house, revealing aerial and satellite photography, concise and well explained case studies and dare i say it the engaging, enthusiastic and at times witty manner of the presenter combine to create a superb piece of cinema.

It is worth noting that this film does not set out to, or at any time attempt to undermine the global warming focus with Al's presendential campaign defeat. This subject is mentioned briefly but it is intertwined with a myriad of short insights into the life of Al Gore and what influenced him to create this presentation, a presentation that he was giving even before he became vice president. You will find yourself wondering come the end of the film just how different things would have been had he gained office.

This film is truely compelling and is a great of example of how to make geography and science accessible to all.
