What did AnInconvenientTruth do? It won awards. An Inconvenient Truth (along with Michael Moore) helped make the documentary a more commercially viable genre of film.
It enlightened people who really needed to know about the threat of global warming. It showed us an intriguing earth cartoon. It made An Inconvenient Truth Star Al Gore into one of the most talked-about Americans. Davis Guggenheim too.
Did it spread the truth? Gore presents a great deal of factual information in AnInconvenientTruth. Data, figures, graphs and photographic evidence that support the points he makes about our planet.
Things that energy policymakers should be aware of. Which policymakers? The decision makers in our political bodies, corporations and even our households.
The film also serves as a piecemeal biography. Not a detailed chronicle, but a look at pivotal events from his life which have helped drive him on this mission.
However, AnInconvenientTruth exists to address anthropogenic global warming. This well-timed movie met with considerable box-office success, impact and critical acclaim.
It started off as one of the great independent productions of the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
It uses photographs to demonstrate trends and changes in selected glaciers. Ice core samples spanning hundreds of thousands of years lead forefront researchers to conclude that atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide have never been at or above their current levels over that entire time. AnInconvenientTruth puts carbon dioxide as the leading cause of global warming, which can have disastrous consequences. It also asserts that there is widespread scientific consensus human activity causes global warming.
Here is a summary of the film and comments from various An Inconvenient Truth reviews.

care of it. He alludes to Carl Sagan's The Blue Dot. This video shows you a small sample from that book.

Al Gore says there is no scientific disagreement about whether global warming is real or not. Other parts of the issue are up for debate. There is a tendency for anyone who speaks against the principles outlined in AnInconvenientTruth to receive labels such as "being in denial", "heretic" or "astroturfing" (a front secretly funded by big business). Groups such as Friends of Science fall into this category, whether the accusations are true or not.
The Brits jumped into this argument with Martin Durkin's documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle. It does not try to deny the existence of global warming, but seeks to identify causes outside of mankind's carbon emissions. People holding this view are clearly a minority, and tend to act as if they were on shaky ground, even if they incorporate some real hard science into their statements.
Individual AnInconvenientTruth critics include:
See AnInconvenientTruth. Everyone should. Also, recognize that your view the subject will not be complete afterward, but much better than before. AnInconvenientTruth serves as a very thorough introduction to the issue of global warming.
If you really care about this, and want to pursue a well-rounded education on the subject, then see The Great Global Warming Swindle as well. It will also help to seek critical comments on both of these productions. They are plentiful. Start with IMDB or Yahoo! Answers. You will end up reasonably well-informed.
