Al Gore's new documentary "An Inconvennient Truth" uses a personal narrative to drive home the urgency of the global warming problem.
"It's something of a miracle that An Inconvenient Truth, the chronicle of Al Gore's quest to raise alarm about "climate chaos," exists at all...That the film succeeds at all is a testament to Gore's slideshow, which carefully, methodically covers the fundamentals of climate science, with some recent, shocking studies thrown in for good measure. There has perhaps never been so perfect a union of wonk and intractable problem. At each stop on his one-man climate road show, he gets feedback about what works and what doesn't. He seeks roadblocks and obstacles to understanding, as he puts it, and attempts to remove them."
