Synopsis

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 presentation (dubbed "the slide show") 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. This article is about the former Vice President of the United States. ... Keynote is a presentation software application made by Apple for its Mac OS X operating system. ...

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 son's near-fatal car accident. Throughout the film, Gore makes comments regarding his loss to George W. Bush in the 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. Roger Revelle (March 7, 1909 – July 15, 1991) was a scientist and scholar who was instrumental in the formative years of the University of California, San Diego and was one of the first scientists to study global warming and the movement of earths tectonic plates. ...

This article is about the television series. ... “Crimes of the Hot” is the eighth episode of the fourth production season of the television show Futurama. ...

In the slide show Gore reviews the scientific opinion on climate change, discusses the 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 CO₂ levels for the past 650,000 years in Antarctic ice core samples. National and international science academies and professional societies have assessed the current scientific opinion on climate change, in particular recent global warming. ... The politics of global warming looks at the current political issues relating to global warming, as well as the historical rise of global warming as a political issue. ... As recent estimates of the rate of global warming have increased, so have the financial estimates of the damage costs. ... Greenhouse gases are gaseous components of the atmosphere that contribute to the greenhouse effect. ... For other uses, see Antarctica (disambiguation). ... Ice Core sample taken from drill. ...

The film includes many segments intended to refute 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. Melt water from Greenland, because of its lower salinity, could then halt the currents that keep northern Europe warm and quickly trigger dramatic local cooling there. 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 CO₂ and planting more vegetation to consume existing CO₂. Gore calls upon his viewers to learn how they can help him in these efforts. Climate scientists agree that the global average surface temperature has risen over the last few decades. ... An ice sheet is a mass of glacier ice that covers surrounding terrain and is greater than 50,000 km² (19,305 mile²).[1] The only current ice sheets are in Antarctica and Greenland; during the last ice age at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the Laurentide ice sheet covered much...

Annual mean sea surface salinity for the World Ocean. ... Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. ...

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.^[9] This article is about the Atlantic hurricane of 2005. ...

Scientific basis

Main articles: Scientific opinion on climate change, Global warming, and Global warming controversy

The Pale Blue Dot, a Voyager 1 photo showing Earth (circled) as a single pixel from 4 billion miles (6.4 billion kilometres) away, is featured in An Inconvenient Truth. Al Gore points out that all of human history has happened on that tiny pixel, which is our only home.

Gore's claim is that global warming is real and largely human-caused. Gore presents specific data that supports the film's thesis, including: National and international science academies and professional societies have assessed the current scientific opinion on climate change, in particular recent global warming. ...

The Associated Press contacted more than 100 climate researchers and questioned them about the film's veracity. All 19 climate scientists who had seen the movie said that Gore conveyed the science correctly.^[12] In contrast, the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, at the time chaired by Republican Senator Jim Inhofe issued a press release criticizing this article.^[13] Inhofe's statement that "global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people"^[14] appears in the film.

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.^[17] 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.^[18] 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. Harvard University (incorporated as The President and Fellows of Harvard College) is a private university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and a member of the Ivy League. ...

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 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, to increase awareness of environmental issues and to take the first direct measurements of how much sunlight is reflected from the Earth. During his 2000 Presidential Campaign, Gore ran, in part, on a pledge to ratify the Kyoto Protocol.

After his defeat in the 2000 presidential election by George W. Bush, Gore returned his focus to the topic. He edited and adapted a slide show he had compiled years earlier, and began featuring the slide show 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. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Producers Laurie David and Lawrence Bender saw Gore's slide show in New York City after the 2004 premiere of The Day After Tomorrow.^[19] 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. . . .

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, ^[53] though at least one US school district put temporary restrictions on its use in the classroom.^[54][55]

Government

• President Bush, when asked whether he would watch the film, responded: "Doubt it." 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 technologies that will enable us to live better lives and at the same time protect the environment."^[56] 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."^[56] 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”.^[56]
• 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 MPs attended a special screening at Parliament House earlier in the week.^[57]

• In the United Kingdom, Conservative Leader of the Opposition David Cameron has urged people to see the film in order to understand climate change.^[58]

• In Belgium, Margaretha Guidone successfully persuaded the entire Belgian government to see the film.^[59]

• In Costa Rica, Al Gore met with president Oscar Arias, and was well received by other politicians and the local media.^{[citation needed]}

• In Spain, after a meeting with Gore, prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero said the government will make An Inconvenient Truth available to schools. Gore has received this year's Prince of Asturias Prize for international cooperation ^[60][61].

Controversy

English High Court case

Further information: Dimmock v Secretary of State for Education and Skills

As part of a nationwide "Sustainable Schools Year of Action" launched in late 2006, the UK Government, Welsh Assembly Government and Scottish parliament announced between January-March 2007 that copies of An Inconvenient Truth would be sent to all secondary schools in England, Wales and Scotland. In May 2007, the UK Government's decision was challenged in the High Court of Justice. An injunction preventing the screening of the film in English schools was sought on the basis that schools are legally forbidden to promote partisan political views in the teaching of any subject in school and are required to, when dealing with political issues, provide a balanced presentation of opposing views.

Look up Injunction in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

On 10 October 2007, Justice Michael Burton, after explaining that the requirement for a balanced presentation does not warrant that equal weight be given to alternative views of a mainstream view, ruled that it was clear that the film was substantially founded upon scientific research and fact, albeit that the science is used, in the hands of a talented politician and communicator, to make a political statement and to support a political programme. The film could thus continue to be shown, but there was a political bias such that teachers would be required to explain the context and certain other elements via guidance notes issued to schools along with the film.

The judge concluded "I have no doubt that Dr Stott, the Defendant's expert, is right when he says that: 'Al Gore's presentation of the causes and likely effects of climate change in the film was broadly accurate.'" On the basis of testimony from Dr. Robert M. Carter and the arguments put forth by the claimant's lawyers, the judge also pointed to nine 'errors', i.e. statements that he found were departing from the mainstream. He also found that some of these 'errors' arose in the context of alarmism and exaggeration in support of Al Gore's political thesis. The judge required that the guidance notes address these 'errors'. A spokesman for Gore said that, "Of the thousands of facts in the film, the judge only took issue with just a handful. And of that handful, we have the studies to back those pieces up."^[66] Robert M. Bob Carter is a research professor in the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, Australia. ... Pronouncements Various prominent bodies have commented on global warming, most notably the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). ...

Since the government had already accepted to amend the guidance notes as required by the judge, no order was made on the application. The plaintiff declared victory but expressed dissatisfaction that the film will continue to be shown in schools.

National Science Teachers Association

50,000 free copies of An Inconvenient Truth were offered to the National Science Teachers Association, which declined to take them. Laurie David, one of the film's producers, provided an email correspondence from the NSTA detailing that their reasoning was that the DVDs would place "unnecessary risk upon the [NSTA] capital campaign, especially certain targeted supporters," and that they saw "little, if any, benefit to NSTA or its members" in accepting the free DVDs. ^{[67] [68]} In public, the NSTA argued that distributing this film to its members would have been contrary to a long-standing NSTA policy against distributing unsolicited materials to its members. The NSTA also said that they had offered several other options for distributing the film but ultimately "[it] appears that these alternative distribution mechanisms were unsatisfactory."^[69] Laurie David has stated that Dr. Gerry Wheeler promised in a telephone conversation to explore alternatives with NSTA's board for advertising the film but she had not yet received an alternative offer at the time of NSTA's public claim, and that she rejected their subsequent offers because they were nothing more than offers to sell their "commercially available member mailing list" and advertising space in their magazine and newsletter, which are available to anyone. She also noted that in the past, NSTA had shipped out 20,000 copies of a 10-part video produced by NSTA Executive Director Dr. Gerry Wheeler with funding provided by ConocoPhillips in 2003. NSTA indicated that they retained editorial control over the content which David questioned based on the point of view portrayed in the global warming section of the video. ^[70] The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), founded in 1944 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, is the largest organization in the world committed to promoting excellence and innovation in science teaching and learning for all. ...

RealClimate, a group blog maintained by eleven climate scientists, described the NSTA action as "bizarre", found their defence "unconvincing", wondered if their actions had been influenced by the NSTAs funding by Exxon and recommended that they improve their "paltry" supply of useful educational material relating to global warming.^[71] The American Association for the Advancement of Science publication ScienceNOW published an assessment discussing both sides of the NSTA decision in which it was reported that "David says NSTA's imprimatur [i.e. endorsement or sanction] was essential and that buying a mailing list is a nonstarter. 'You don't want to send out a cold letter, and it costs a lot of money,' she says. 'There are a thousand reasons why that wouldn't work.'." ^[72] RealClimate is a commentary site (blog) on climatology by a group of climate scientists for the interested public and journalists. ...

Federal Way School District, WA

After a father had complained that the movie only showed one point of view, the Federal Way School Board in Federal Way, Washington voted 3 to 0 requiring an approval by the principal and the superintendent for teachers to show the film to students. The teachers must include the presentation of an approved "opposing view". ^[54] The moratorium was repealed after broad public condemnation at the subsequent meeting on January 23. ^[55] Location in Washington Coordinates: , Country State County King County Incorporated 1990 Government  - Mayor Michael Park -http://www. ...

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."^[7] 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."^[7] is the 72nd day of the year (73rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The movie does not mention the livestock industry which, according to the 2006 United Nations report Livestock's Long Shadow, "generates 65 per cent of human-related nitrous oxide, which has 296 times the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CO₂"^[80] and "that livestock are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, a bigger share than that of transport."^[81] UN and U.N. redirect here. ...

The Great Global Warming Swindle

Main article: 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 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 and therefore does so today). The Great Global Warming Swindle is a controversial documentary film by British television producer Martin Durkin, which argues against the scientific opinion that human activity is the main cause of global warming. ...

Influences on popular culture

South Park parody of An Inconvenient Truth with Al Gore

• Prior to An Inconvenient Truth being released, Al Gore was parodied in the South Park episode "Manbearpig", which ends with Al Gore exclaiming his intention to make a film starring himself in which he will try to save the world from something else (than the 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."^[89]
• 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 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.^[90]
• Jimmy Kimmel Live had a skit called An Inconvenient Youth where Al Gore tells you to kill children to stop "global warming"
• Late Night with Conan O'Brien also made fun of the film.
• In "The Simpsons Movie", "An Inconvenient Truth" is parodied when Lisa Simpson, presenting dangers of global warming to Springfield's residents in a style similar to Al Gore, fails to properly operate a crane intended to lift her up in order to show a spike of data on a projected graph regarding global warming. The title of her presentation is "An Irritating Truth".
• Stephen Colbert, on The Colbert Report, also parodied An Inconvenient Truth on 17 July 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.^[91]
• The The Chasers War on Everything also parodied the movie, making light of the number of celebrity documentaries. Their movie was entitled, 'A Convenient Cause'
