The documentary film An Inconvenient Truth features Al Gore presenting a slideshow lecture on the causes and consequences of global climate change. Gore discusses the basic science showing a correlation between rising carbon dioxide levels and increasing global temperatures. He then highlights the environmental and humanitarian impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels threatening coastal cities and more frequent extreme weather events. Gore also shares how his personal experiences, like his son's accident, shaped his commitment to addressing this issue. The film aims to convince viewers that climate change poses a severe risk and that urgent action is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through alternatives like the Kyoto Protocol.

An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary in which Al Gore describes the problems of
climate change against the backdrop of the political climate of the time, including the hotly-debated 2000 election that cost him the presidency.
The movie shows Al Gore travelling the world with a slideshow setting out key causes, effects and solutions to global climate change. A documentary on the threat that climate change poses to the Earth - it's causes, effects and history and potential solutions to it. Presented by Al Gore through a lecture that he has given to audiences across the globe, plus through more introspective moments. It begins with an introduction to the basic science of global warming and the greenhouse gases that cause it. It discusses the scientist and professor who introduced Gore to the idea of climate change. Following this, it goes into one effect of global warming: receding glaciers. This portion looks at dramatic changes at different locations around the world through comparison photos and charts that show an increase in temperature and carbon dioxide levels. Gore clearly shows the evidence that the increase in global temperature over the last 100 years is, to a large extent, due to greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. He then presents the three ‘causes’: population, technology and barriers to new thinking. To this he adds many examples, from the US and elsewhere, of current and projected impacts of climate change. He also discusses the possibility of abrupt climate change, which may cause, for example, melting of the Greenland ice sheet. This would lead to a global sea level rise of several meters. The consequences for low-lying countries and cities would be enormous. There is scientific uncertainty about the likelihood of such events, which he recognizes. Gore’s main point remains clear: whatever the eventual impacts, there is a need to act immediately to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This can be achieved with current technologies and in an affordable way, he says, although he presents few specific examples in the film.

Summary
The film is a collection of clips of Al Gore's environmental speeches that he gave multiple times all over the world. Gore also provides some autobiographical information about his life on a farm as well as his experience in the presidential race.
He begins by explaining the overlap between increases in carbon emissions and
increases in global temperature. He provides a brief explanation of the basic foundational theories on how climate change works.
He then goes into the impact of these temperature changes on the weather and increases in major storms, like Hurricane Katrina. Other natural catastrophes worldwide are depicted with powerful, often graphic, photos in a slideshow with several live audiences. The next section details how Gore’s 6-year-old son had a life-threatening accident. This event redirected Gore’s focus to what was really important about Earth and its livability for future generations.
To avoid leaving audiences feeling hopelessly doomed, Gore rounds out the end of the movie with a call to action, with specific things people can do to slow the rate of carbon increases and climate change. He suggests ratifying the environmental treaty Kyoto, taking a more active role in politics, and making more mindful purchasing choices as ways to mitigate these negative impacts.
Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. "It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely,"
An Inconvenient Truth provides several factual statements that have proven true over the time since the movie came out a decade ago. The extent of the catastrophic climate situation has made itself more evident, as confirmed by science.

Due to Climate change the increase in
major storms and high category hurricanes has been substantiated, though some of the increase is attributed to differences in the severity rating systems and the cyclical increase in storms. This really an eye opener for all of us. We need to protect our mother earth.
Another terrifying cause of Climate Change
is cracking of surface of clayey soils. This situation burdens the people living in the area and their source of living.
Water evaporated due to high density of
heat. This is happening because humans forget to protect our nature. Our future generation will suffer from our mistakes.

The doubling of the death toll of global
warming in the next 25 years is an extrapolation of data including numbers during deadly heat waves, the likes of which are expected to occur with greater frequency.
This frogs indicate that in our situation
today we learn to adapt in today’s situation about the climate change, but we need to wake up. We should protect what we have not only for us but for the future generations.
This part is how our earth should be. We
must learn to appreciate what we and learn to take care of thing so this would last even in generations.

Another pollution that triggers our Climate
change. I realize how important everything. The future of our lives is in our hands.
Melting ice shelves will rise sea levels over
20 feet. Scientists agree that the ice caps are melting, including Greenland's ice sheet, but they disagree on the extent and speed at which it will occur.
Unexpected tornados that can destroy
everything. The climate change is very unpredictable. Wake up, Get up and Act.
Over one million species will become
extinct as a result of climate change. Scientists identify global warming as becoming as dangerous to animal species as habitat destruction and land clearing.
