Interspersed with the bracing facts and future predictions is the story of GoreвЂ™s personal journey: from an idealistic college student who first saw a massive environmental crisis looming to a young Senator facing a harrowing family tragedy that altered his perspective to the man who almost became President but instead returned to the most impassioned cause of his life вЂ“ convinced that there is still time to make a difference.

With 2005, the worst storm season ever experienced in America, it seems we may be reaching a tipping point вЂ“ and Gore pulls no punches in explaining the dire situation. In this eye-opening and poignant portrait of Gore and his вЂњtraveling global warming show,вЂќ Gore is funny, engaging, open and downright on fire about getting the surprisingly stirring truth about what he calls our вЂњplanetary emergencyвЂќ out to ordinary citizens before itвЂ™s too late. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on an all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. From director Davis Guggenheim comes the hit, An Inconvenient Truth, which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one manвЂ™s commitment to expose the myths and misconceptions that surround global warming and inspire actions to prevent it. If that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom - think again. If the vast majority of the worldвЂ™s scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planetвЂ™s climate system into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced- a catastrophe of our own making.
