SuitabookAn Inconvenient Truth
Al Gore
- Reading
- Read together if useful, pausing at the photographs and graphs to distinguish what they show from the book’s wider argument; afterwards, explore what practical actions the ending leaves unspecified.
- Themes
- Climate change and its evidence: The book links rising atmospheric carbon dioxide with changing climate patterns and uses graphics and before-and-after photographs to present these developments. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Responsibility and response: The book addresses responsibility and response; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book advocates a change in everyday life as a response to a shared environmental problem.
- Worth knowing
- Its prose is described as measured rather than frightening.
