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

" For those of you who skipped the film or want to know a bit more about Gore's motivations, this is for you. Scary, scary, scary. But really nicely designed and makes for engaging, easy reading about a tough subject. "

" A great book with a lot of information - but for the time I would just watch the movie. "

" My mom ran into Al Gore Jr jogging, and started a conversation with him. I used to work for him in the Senate when I was in college. He recalled, went to his house and signed a copy he hand on hand. Nothing stops my mom from embarrassing me, not even the Secret Service. "

" A must read, for an education about what is happening before us every day. Disk 3 (audio)has great tips for what to do. Not political push, just facts. "

" This book is beautifully put together; The photography and graphics induce the desired effect, but the lack of listed references and the continual reference to "scientists" as a vague body undermines its weight. I do agree we need to be more responsible as a race. I do not agree that global warming is necessarily 100% true, or such an immediate crisis as to promote such a panicked frenzy. But maybe a panicked frenzy is the only thing that would make people realize that no matter what's going on in our atmosphere, regardless if it would drastically alter the face of the Earth in a radically climate shift, there is no reason not to reduce the waste we put into the air, reduce the dangerous and inefficient emissions that our cars and factories exude, and stop the wanton destruction of wildlife and their habitat. It's just smart. It's just responsible. Just be good. "

" A quick way to learn the important facts about climate change. Lots of great pictures and statistics. "

" i have this strategically placed on my coffee table to lure unsuspecting visitors. "

" A bit much of a picture book, but starkly compelling. "

" Well, some things he says are correct but he is a pretty extreme environmentalist so everything he says you may not agree with. "

" How can you argue with this (unless you watch Fox news, or don't read at all)? "

" Continue your current way of life at your grandchildren's peril....Don't believe the political hype, but believe the scientific realities. Why don't we care about this more as a world? "

" incontrovertible call for concern. everything you ever wanted to know about climate change. a must read "

" This was a really good book that told why we should stop global warming. "

" Anyone can manipulate data to suit an argument. Some points are plausible, others definitely not so. Climate has been changing since the dawn of time; get over it and move on! "

" A must read, will buy the childerens version as well. "

" ....I read at night, I keep falling alseep.... "

" Everyone should read this (or see the movie, if that's what you're into). "

" Very clear scientific evidence that we need to be changing our ways, read this if you care enough about the planet... "

" Gave me a better understanding of Global Warming and what we can do. "

" The subject matter is of great concern to me. How can I , who according to some calculations now consume 2.94 planets, down from 3.5! make more of a difference. The book was ok but I felt a bit short on the issue of population growth. "

" Written in easy to understand language about global warming,also good graphics. "

" Unfortunately, we may have to deal with the problems of ignoring this one later. "

" An Inconvenient Truth is a book written by former vice president Al Gore, in this book he gives his opinions on global warming, and states some scary facts about global warming and why we should try to stop it. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in global warming. "

" What a bunch of pure hogwash. No scientific backing. Al Gore happened to get noticed by some news media who ran with this, otherwise this book would have never been created. Oh, sorry, I have to go. More snow is falling and I need to get my sidewalk shoveled. "
