==Synopsis ==
{{cquote2|You look at that river gently flowing by. You notice the leaves rustling with the wind. You hear the birds; you hear the tree frogs. In the distance you hear a cow. You feel the grass. The mud gives a little bit on the river bank. It’s quiet; it’s peaceful. And all of a sudden, it’s a gear shift inside you. And it’s like taking a deep breath and going, 'Oh yeah, I forgot about this'.|[[Al Gore]] in the opening monologue of ''An Inconvenient Truth''}}
''An Inconvenient Truth'' focuses on Al Gore and his travels in support of his efforts to educate the public about the severity of the climate crisis. Gore says, "I've been trying to tell this story for a long time and I feel as I've failed to get the message across." The film nearly follows a [[Keynote (software)|Keynote]] presentation (dubbed "the slideshow") that Gore presented throughout the world. It intersperses Gore's exploration of data and predictions regarding climate change and its potential for disaster with Gore's life story.

It weaves in events that changed his worldview, including his college education with early climate expert [[Roger Revelle]] at [[Harvard University]], his sister's death from [[lung cancer]], and his young [[Al Gore III|son]]'s near-fatal car accident. Throughout the film, Gore makes comments regarding his loss to [[George W. Bush]] in the [[United States presidential election, 2000|2000 United States presidential election]]. For comic effect, Gore also uses a clip from the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "[[Crimes of the Hot]]" to explain global warming.

In the slideshow Gore reviews the [[scientific opinion on climate change|scientific opinion on climate change]], discusses the [[politics of global warming|politics]] and [[economics of global warming]], and describes the consequences he believes global climate change will produce if the amount of human-generated [[greenhouse gases]] are not significantly reduced in the very near future. A centerpoint of the film is his examination of the annual temperature and CO<sub>2</sub> levels for the past 650,000 years in [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] [[ice core|ice core samples]].

The film includes many segments intended to refute [[Scientists_opposing_the_mainstream_scientific_assessment_of_global_warming|critics]] who say that global warming is unproven or that warming will be insignificant. For example, Gore discusses the possibility of the collapse of a major [[ice sheet]] in [[Greenland]] or in [[West Antarctica]], either of which could raise global sea levels by approximately 20 feet (6m), flooding coastal areas and producing 100 million refugees. [[Meltwater]] from Greenland, because of its lower [[salinity]], could then halt the [[Gulf Stream]] current and quickly trigger dramatic local cooling in Northern Europe. The documentary ends with Gore arguing that if appropriate actions are taken soon, the effects of global warming can be successfully reversed by releasing less [[carbon dioxide|CO<sub>2</sub>]] and planting more vegetation to consume existing CO<sub>2</sub>. Gore calls upon his viewers to learn how they can help him in these efforts.

Gore's book of the same title was published concurrently with the theatrical release of the documentary. The book contains additional information, scientific analysis, and Gore's commentary on the issues presented in the documentary. A 2007 documentary entitled ''An Update with Former Vice President Al Gore'' features Gore discussing additional information that came to light after the film was completed, such as [[Hurricane Katrina]].<ref name="Katrina">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0978403/</ref>

Gore's claim is that global warming and cooling is real and largely [[anthropogenic climate change|human-caused]]. Gore presents specific data that supports the film's thesis, including:

*The [[Keeling curve]], measuring CO<sub>2</sub> from the [[Mauna Loa Observatory]].
*The retreat of numerous glaciers is shown in before-and-after photographs (see [[Retreat of glaciers since 1850]]).
*A study by researchers at the [[Physics]] Institute at the [[University of Bern]] and the [[EPICA|European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctic]] presenting data from Antarctic [[ice cores]] showing carbon dioxide concentrations higher than at any time during the past 650,000 years.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Spahni |first=Renato |coauthors=Chappellaz, Jérôme; et al. |year=[[2005]] |month=[[November 25]] |title=Atmospheric Methane and Nitrous Oxide of the Late Pleistocene from Antarctic Ice Cores (abstract) |journal=[[Science (journal)|Science]] |volume=310 |issue=5752 |pages=1317-1321 |url=http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/310/5752/1317 |accessdate=2007-03-18 }}</ref>

==Origins==
Gore became intrigued by the topic of global warming when he took a course at [[Harvard University]] with Professor [[Roger Revelle]], one of the first scientists to measure [[carbon dioxide]] in the atmosphere.<ref>Voynar, Kim. "Sundance: An Inconvenient Truth Q & A - Al Gore on fire! No, really." "Cinematical." January 26, 2006. <sup>[http://www.cinematical.com/2006/01/26/sundance-an-inconvenient-truth-q-and-a-al-gore-on-fire-no-rea/]</sup></ref>
Later, when Gore was in Congress, he initiated the first congressional hearing on the subject, brought in climate scientists and began talking to politicians about the issue.<ref>Remnick, David. "The Talk of the Town." ''New Yorker." April 14, 2006.<sup>[http://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/articles/060424ta_talk_remnick]</sup></ref> He thought that once legislators heard the compelling evidence, they would be driven to action; ultimately, though, the process was a slow one. Gore's 1992 book, ''[[Earth in the Balance]]'', dealing with a number of environmental topics, reached the [[New York Times bestseller list]].

As Vice President during the [[Clinton Administration]], Gore pushed for the implementation of a [[carbon tax]] to modify incentives to reduce fossil fuel consumption causing fossil fuel to last longer and thereby decrease emission of greenhouse gases in the short term but not long term; it was partially implemented in [[1993]]. He helped broker the 1997 [[Kyoto Protocol]], an international treaty designed to curb [[greenhouse gas]] emissions. However, it was not ratified in the [[United States]] due to opposition, in the [[United States Senate|Senate]]. The primary objections stemmed from the exemptions the treaty gives to [[China]] and [[India]], whose industrial base and carbon footprint are growing rapidly, and fears that the exemptions would lead to further trade imbalances and offshoring arrangement with those countries.

Gore also supported the funding of a satellite called [[Triana (satellite)|Triana]], to increase awareness of environmental issues and to take the first direct measurements of [[albedo|how much sunlight is reflected from the Earth]]. During [[Al Gore presidential campaign, 2000|his 2000 Presidential Campaign]], Gore ran, in part, on a pledge to ratify the [[Kyoto Protocol]].

After his defeat in [[Al Gore presidential campaign, 2000|the 2000 presidential election]] to [[George W. Bush]], Gore returned his focus to the topic. He edited and adapted a slideshow he had compiled years earlier, and began featuring the slideshow in multimedia presentations on global warming across the U.S. and around the world. At the time of the film, Gore estimated he had shown the presentation more than one thousand times.

Producers [[Laurie David]] and [[Lawrence Bender]] saw Gore's slide show in [[New York City]] after the [[2004]] premiere of ''[[The Day After Tomorrow]]''.<ref>Booth, William. "Al Gore, Sundance's Leading Man." "Washington Post." January 26, 2006. <sup>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/25/AR2006012502230.html]</sup></ref> Inspired, they met with director [[Davis Guggenheim]] about the possibility of making the slide show into a movie. Guggenheim, who was skeptical at first, later saw the presentation for himself, stating that he was "blown away," and "left after an hour and a half thinking that global warming [was] the most important issue. . . . I had no idea how you’d make a film out of it, but I wanted to try," he said.<ref>{{cite web

Film critics [[Roger Ebert]] and [[Richard Roeper]] gave the film "two thumbs up". Ebert wrote: "In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to."<ref>[[Roger Ebert]] [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060601/REVIEWS/60517002 An Inconvenient Truth] ''Chicago Sunday Times'', accessed [[2007-01-10]]</ref>

Journalist [[Ronald Bailey]] argued in the [[libertarian]] magazine ''[[Reason (magazine)|Reason]]'' that although "Gore gets [the science] more right than wrong," he exaggerates the risks. <ref>Ronald Bailey [http://www.reason.com/rb/rb061606.shtml Gore as climate exaggerator] ''Reason'', dated [[2006-06-16]], accessed [[2007-01-10]]</ref>

==Political response==
The documentary has been generally well-received politically in many parts of the world and is credited for raising further awareness of global warming internationally, prompting calls for more government action in regard to the climate. Despite its success, some political leaders are less keen on embracing the film as a matter-of-fact necessity. Several colleges and high schools have begun to use the film in science curricula,

He later stated that "And in my judgment we need to set aside whether or not greenhouse gases have been caused by mankind or because of natural effects, and focus on the [[Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate|technologies]] that will enable us to live better lives and at the same time protect the environment."<ref name=APBush>{{cite web | title=Bush gives thumbs down to Gore's new movie | date=[[2006-05-24]] | url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12930351/ | publisher=[[Associated Press]] | accessdate=2007-05-31}}</ref> Gore responded that "The entire global scientific community has a consensus on the question that human beings are responsible for global warming and he [Bush] has today again expressed personal doubt that that is true."<ref name=APBush/> White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino stated that “The president noted in 2001 the increase in temperatures over the past 100 years and that the increase in greenhouse gases was due to certain extent to human activity”.<ref name=APBush/>
*In September 2006, Gore traveled to [[Sydney, Australia]] to promote the film. Australian Prime Minister, [[John Howard]] said he would not meet with Gore or agree to Kyoto because of the movie: "I don't take policy advice from films." Former Opposition Leader [[Kim Beazley]] joined Gore for a viewing and other [[Member of Parliament|MP]]s attended a special screening at [[Parliament House, Canberra|Parliament House]] earlier in the week.<ref>{{cite web | title=Howard isolated on climate change: Gore | url=http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=143315 | date=[[2006-09-11]] | accessdate=2007-05-31 | publisher=[[Nine Network]] }}</ref>

===Education===
* Following the issuing of the [[IPCC report]] into [[Climate Change]] on [[February 2]] [[2007]] and following on from the [[The Stern Review]] into the economic effects to the UK from climate change, the [[UK Government]] announced that it would be issuing a copy of the DVD of ''An Inconvenient Truth'' together with further reading material on this subject to every [[secondary school]] in England and Wales to increase educational awareness of the issues raised in the movie.<ref>{{cite news

== Criticism ==
{{further|[[Global Warming controversy]]}}
<!-- This section is for criticism of the movie, not global warming in general. General GW criticism belongs at Global Warming controversy -->

===Academia===
[[Richard S. Lindzen]], an atmospheric physicist at [[MIT]] and anthropogenic global warming skeptic, wrote in a [[June 26]] [[2006]] op-ed in the ''Wall Street Journal'' that Gore was using a biased presentation to exploit the fears of the public for his own political gain. <ref>Richard S. Lindzen [http://online.wsj.com/article_print/SB115127582141890238.html There Is No 'Consensus' On Global Warming] ''Wall Street Journal'', accessed [[2007-01-10]]</ref> [[Roy Spencer]], a principal research scientist at the [http://nsstc.uah.edu/essc/ Earth System Science Center] of the [[University of Alabama in Huntsville]], wrote an open letter to Gore criticizing his presentation of climate science in the film, asserting that the Arctic had a similar temperature in the 1930s before the mass emissions of carbon dioxide began.<ref>[http://www.tcsdaily.com/article.aspx?id=052506C Questions for Al Gore by Roy Spencer] ''TCS Daily - Questions for Al Gore'', [[2006-05-25]], accessed [[2007-03-13]]</ref> Former University of Winnipeg geography professor [[Timothy F. Ball|Dr. Timothy F.

===Media===
A [[March 13]] [[2007]] article in ''[[The New York Times]]'' reported on concerns among some scientists about the tone and the accuracy of the film, noting that they "argue that some of Mr. Gore’s central points are exaggerated and erroneous". Gore's discussion of a rise in sea level of up to 20 feet is contrasted with a report from the [[Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change]] (IPCC), which predicts a maximum rise of 23 inches excluding non-linear effects on ice sheets; although that too discusses the possibilities of higher rises if the ice sheets melt. The article also states that "a report last June by the National Academies seemed to contradict Mr. Gore’s portrayal of recent temperatures as the highest in the past millennium."<ref name = "NYT1"/>
The article quotes both defenders and critics of the film; Gore responds that scientists may disagree with him on some details, "but we do agree on the fundamentals."<ref name="NYT1"/>

An [[April 19]] [[2007]] article in [[Telegraph.co.uk]] reported on concerns among parents who claim that the film is "inaccurate and politically motivated" and are "threatening a legal challenge over the Government's decision to send it to every secondary school." Parents claim that "the circulation of the film by the Government amounts to political indoctrination and is in breach of the Education Act 2002."<ref name="Telegraph">{{cite news | publisher=[[telegraph.co.uk]] | title=School row over Al Gore film | url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/04/17/nuni117.xml | author=Liz Lightfoot, Education Editor | date=04-19-2007}}</ref>

===The Great Global Warming Swindle===

{{Main|The Great Global Warming Swindle}}
The [[documentary film]] ''The Great Global Warming Swindle'', broadcast on [[Channel 4]] in the UK on [[March 8]] [[2007]], brought together skeptical scientists who disagree with the consensus regarding human-caused global warming. Among other claims, the film states that Gore has misrepresented the data in ''An Inconvenient Truth'', and that the actual [[Attribution of recent climate change#Warming sometimes leads CO2 increases|relationship between carbon dioxide and the temperature]] is the other way round (that is, rise in temperature preceded an increase in carbon dioxide in the [[ice core]] samples). Several of the film's claims have been disputed by scientists and scientific bodies such as [[John T. Houghton]] <ref name=Houghton>{{cite web | last = Houghton| first = John| coauthors = | title = The Great Global Warming Swindle| publisher = The John Ray Initiative| date = | url = http://www.jri.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=137&Itemid=83 | format = | doi = | accessdate = 2007-03-12}}</ref>, the [[British Antarctic Survey]] <ref>[http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/about_bas/news/news_story.php?id=178 BAS Statement about Channel 4 programme on Global Warming]</ref>, [[Eigil Friis-Christensen]] [http://folk.uio.no/nathan/web/statement.html] and the [[Royal Society]]<ref>{{cite web|title = The Royal Society’s response to the documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle"| url=http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/news.asp?id=6089 | publisher = [[Royal Society]] | date= 11 March 2007 | accessdate = 2007-04-03}}</ref>. Global warming skeptic [[Fred Singer]] wrote that the documentary is "devastating" to Gore's movie: "...''The Great Global Warming Swindle'' is based on sound science by recording the statements of real climate scientists. ''An Inconvenient Truth'' mainly records a politician."<ref>{{cite web | last = Singer| first = Fred| title = The Great Global Warming Swindle| publisher = [[Independent Institute]] | date = 19 March 2007 | url = http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=1945 | accessdate = 2007-07-08}}</ref>

==Influences on popular culture==
{{examplefarm|date=August 2007}}
[[Image:Ghjkl.JPG|right|thumb|South Park parody of An Inconvenient Truth with Al Gore]]
* Prior to being released, the film was parodied in the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "[[Manbearpig]]"." Gore laughed off this sensationalized depiction of him, saying "Their comic sensibility is aimed at a different demographic than the one I inhabit, but I still find a lot of what they do hilarious."<ref>{{cite news

* [[Stephen Colbert]], on ''[[The Colbert Report]]'', also parodied ''An Inconvenient Truth'' on [[July 17]] [[2006]]. Entitled "The Convenientest Truth", Colbert created his own presentation that argued for the positive effects of global warming, using his signature humor tactics to satirize the conservative response to Gore's presentation.<ref>{{cite web

* During the movie, Al Gore shows a clip from the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "[[Crimes of the Hot]]" dealing with global warming; Al Gore was a guest star in that episode, though he was not present in the clip. While not the credited author of this episode, his daughter, [[Kristin Gore|Kristin Gore Cusack]], was on the ''[[Futurama]]'' writing staff and worked as a story editor. In addition, Gore stars in a faux trailer made by the ''Futurama'' cast and crew titled, ''A Terrifying Message from Al Gore''.<ref> {{cite web

I know what you're driving at, but I really don't think science and liberals are going to outlaw breathing.}}
*The television show [[X-Play]] did two separate parody sketches as promotions for [[G4 (TV channel)|G4]]'s award show, [[G-Phoria]]. One sketch showed an Al Gore impersonator warning about temperature increases in [[Middle-earth]] due to the [[Eye of Sauron]].
*[[San Francisco 49ers]] [[running back]] [[Frank Gore]]'s nickname is "The Inconvenient Truth", coined by [[NFL Network]] host [[Rich Eisen]] in 2006 in reference to the film.
* A citizens advocacy group released a video [[Math Education: An Inconvenient Truth]] on video sharing sites about problems with mathematics education reform that was viewed over 70,000 times in a few weeks.<ref>{{cite news

*The movie is referenced in the [[Ozzy Osbourne]] song "The Almighty Dollar".
