An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It

Our climate crisis may at times appear to be happening slowly, but in fact it is happening very quickly-and has become a true planetary emergency. The Chinese expression for crisis consists of two characters. The first is a symbol for danger; the second is a symbol for opportunity. In order to face down the danger that is stalking us and move through it, we first have to recognize that we are facing a crisis. So why is it that our leaders seem not to hear such clarion warnings? Are they resisting the truth because they know that the moment they acknowledge it, they will face a moral imperative to act? Is it simply more convenient to ignore the warnings? Perhaps, but inconvenient truths do not go away just because they are not seen. Indeed, when they are responded to, their significance doesnt diminish; it grows. — Al Gore

Customer Review: Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth: He Spites Admitting that Terrorism is a Bigger Threat & There’s no Consensus on Global Warming!!!!

The distresses with Gore’s propaganda book for global warming are manifold. The first and worst sin Gore commits is he’s NOT FAIR AND BALANCED in his struggling argument that global warming is real, caused by man, and the single-biggest threat facing the world. If Gore was FAIR AND BALANCED in his presentation, he could persuade more readers to give him the benefit of the doubt. Gravely for him, his presumptuous, one-sided and absolutist/elitist argument for global warming–where he brainwashes the reader to believe that global warming is 100% fact through arrogant declaration but no foundations–actually sours the reader and makes Gore appear as a fanatical, ideological DEMAGOGUE with an agenda and shabby credibility.

The most flagrant trespass in Gore’s book is it’s constructed to indoctrinate grade school/high school kids in the Religion of Global Warming. This is indisputable if we look at the layout of Gore’s propaganda: it’s short on text, full of colorful graphs, size 30 fonts on some pages, and full of pictures. With this shortcoming of substance, it’s clear Gore’s slideshow-turned-book was NEVER designed to make an intelligent argument about global warming’s allegedly looming threat. It was designed to proselytize impressionable kids at the K-12 levels to believe in the Religion of Global Warming.

The predicament of failure of substance is found everywhere in Gore’s propaganda book. He never has many sources to credibly validate the legitimacy of graphs and projections he cites!!!! Even gloomier for Gore’s trustworthiness is that his sources come from biased, agenda-driven organizations whose “statistics” you cannot trust–if you’re being intellectually honest, which the majority of sycophant-reviewers here refuse.

For instance, a purportedly “authoritative” chart claiming to show 2005 was the hottest year EVER in the history of humankind was conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an ideological group sponsored by the UN!!!! Their whole mission statement is to prove that global warming is to be blamed on human activities, so any statistics emerging from their partisan group must be discounted. However, unfair and unbalanced Gore has the insolence to cite this statistic as “authoritative.”

Another misconstruction in Gore’s argument of ideology is to blame man and global warming for Africa’s abysmal problems with genocide and civil wars!!!! Despite the insanity of this supposition, Gore shamelessly alleges that this is so, yet if we analyze his thinking, it can easily be discreditable. Gore’s accusatory misconstruction is we (read: US and the West) are single-handedly to blame for the murderous genocide and afflictions in Africa because of our alleged contribution to global warming!!!!

Gore charges the US “helped manufacture the suffering in Africa,” as he bases this antagonistic accusation on the supposition that US greenhouse gas emission caused the drying up of Lake Chad–which he then misuses to account for the genocide in Darfur!!!! To any intellectually honest person, of course, the ethnic cleansing and civil war in Darfur are mainly caused by Muslim Janjaweed fighting the non-Arab rebels who are in turn fighting the Sudanese government. With self-hating, anti-American allegations like these, Gore’s credibility itself suffers.

Yet another, equally heavy reprimand Gore deserves is for the irrational conclusions and methodology he continually abuses to arrive at his presumption that the scientific community has a consensus that global warming’s manmade. In example, Gore mendaciously cites a Science magazine study of every massive, peer-reviewed article on global warming from scientific journals and magazines. He cites this utterly dissolute study to pretend to prove that there’s consensus among EACH AND EVERY SCIENTIST ON THE PLANET that global warming is manmade. However, killing Gore’s believability is the mortifying fact that said Science magazine study only reviewed TEN PERCENT of every available article on global warming. With this contemptible restriction on what a proper population sample of articles would be, Gore assumingly and pitifully declares that there is basically complete, 100% consensus on the fiction that every single scientist on earth is in unison about global warming.

If this is reliably the case, as Gore forges it to be, then why in the hell are there so many scientists who outright dispute Gore’s BS allegations?!?! Some prominent critics of global warming are French geophysicist Claude Allegre; director of the Office of Climatology at Arizona State University Robert Balling Jr.; Associate Professor of Geology and Environmental Science at University of Auckland Chris de Freitas; and so on and so forth. These scientists only scratch the surface; for a more comprehensive list of authorities discrediting global warming, simply do a Google search or check Wikipedia.

Gore’s book stumbles in its ineffective struggle to convince the reader of the conclusiveness of global warming. Instead, Gore and his fellow, global-warming co-conspirators simply incriminate themselves as ideologues menacingly dismissing the REAL, BIGGEST threat to the world: Islamic terrorism. Gore often speaks of his kids’ kids hating our current generation for not addressing global warming, but they’ll likely hate our generation more if we succumb to Gore’s advice and pursue the unreliability of global warming while ignoring terrorism!!!!

Customer Review: Mandatory Reading

This may not be a masterpiece of the English language (it reads more like a slide show than a novel or even a magazine article, but I guess that was to be expected given it’s origins and purpose), but nonetheless it should be a required reading for all of our country’s junior high and high school students (it should be mandatory for all of us, but I’m not sure how to enforce that). I have heard that some European countries are already doing that (either with the book or the movie). The illustrations and graphs are for the most part easy to read and understand, and even the most ADHD teen will be able to grasp the message.

I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Politics do not matter. All that matters is that you are a human being walking on the face of this Earth.
