An Inconvenient Turth: The Crisis of Gore's Political Career - By: M. Barnes, 09 Oct 2008 
If you were hoping for a hard-hitting book on the science of climate change, think again. It is more a book of Gore's political views poorly portrayed in what can only be described as a childrens picture book, segregated by tales of Gore's personal anecdotes & childhood memories in order to detach from the truth of the issue at hand & to sympathise with a has-been politician. Gore's apocolyptic vision is widley known to be a false representation of the dangers of climate change by scientists & climatologists alike, & even the IPCC that he loves to qoute so much fail to credit his views on 20 foot sea level rises, unprecendented storms & newstrains of diseases. The only truth I found in the whole book was that CO2 (only one of many 'greenhouse gasses' of which water vapour makes the vast majority) does exacerbate global warming, albeit there is a large grey area between what is human induced climate change & what is a natural occurance. The truth of the issue is that man-made climate change is an open debate, one of rather 'cloudy' science that is still in its infancy. If you want distorted facts, misnformed statistics & mitigated morals, either to support your naiive views on climate change or just for an exhilirating piece of American fiction, this is the book for you!
Inconvenient Truth - By: Spider Monkey, 02 May 2007 
A great book with some fascinating information. The images & diagrams reallly make this book something else & Gore comes across as a dedicated guy with a very lucid writing style & compelling argument. It remains to be seen if we can act on this, & other pertinent info, to make the changes we need. Highly recommended if you're interested in climate change & want a good introduction or alternatively a beautifully presented book on the subject.

Inconvenient Truth - By: Spider Monkey, 02 May 2007 A great book with some fascinating information, although I have to say it is a touch patronising to bring out a young adult version when the originial is so clear anyway.
