In the hopes of raising public awareness and affecting public policy, former Vice-President Al Gore issues this red flag on one of the key topics with which he has long been identified: the issue of global warming. Gore synthesizes the latest scientific findings, which indicate that the problem is more acute than just a few years ago. There are clear signs that the environment is changing: more violent and destructive weather conditions, changes in seasons, and significant melting of the polar regions due to increased temperatures. Gore explains the effects of each of these on the land and sea, and ultimately on populations.
In an even-tempered tone, Mr. Gore takes a firm stand that addressing global warming is a priority, and he offers clear actions that need to be taken. He says that we do not need to sacrifice a robust economy, we just have to act prudently--but act we must on this "global emergency," as he calls it.

"Man doesn't cause global warning. One major volcanic eruption emits more CO2 than humans collectively ever have.
Many scientists disagree with the theory and they are shunned in the scientific community for expressing the truths.
This book is full of lies. "
