Just because truths are inconvenient is no reason to suppose they are not real.

Gore's film is basically preaching to the choir.

Disarmingly and alarmingly sincere in both its message and presentation ... a truth that has to be seen.

Obviously nearly a quarter century on from when this film was created, it gets revealed for the money grabbing political clout project that it was. None of these predictions came true. The film outright lies about things it claims already happened back in its time like "the last snow on mt Kilimanjaro"

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

"An Inconvenient Truth" (2006) presents itself as an urgent wake-up call on climate change, yet its execution raises concerns about credibility and commitment. The film's twenty-year predictions evoke a sense of impending doom reminiscent of apocalyptic warnings, but a lack of accessible follow-up data undermines its impact. Notably, the official website link displayed throughout the credits now redirects to unrelated content, suggesting a lapse in maintaining the film's educational resources. This oversight calls into question the filmmakers' dedication to their cause, leaving viewers skeptical about the documentary's lasting value.

I watched this several years ago. And it remains a cast iron prediction of the future - its foretelling becoming reality every single day… essential watching. If I had my way every year 7 child should see it as well as adults.
