"An Inconvenient Truth" gives a much needed message on the dangers of global warming but it does not spend enough time telling us what we can do to make things better. Instead it is 90 minutes of Al Gore talking at us about how dangerous global warming is.
I got the message in the first 30 minutes. The next 60 minutes just seemed like repetition. It isn't until the ending credits does it tell you what you can do as an individual to help make things better. Even then it is real small things like buying compact florescent bulbs and setting the thermostat lower. In this regard, I consider "An Inconvenient Truth" a failure.
If you really want to make a difference for the environment, read "The World Peace Diet" by Will Tuttle and "The Food Revolution" by John Robbins. Both books show that the amount of resources to make 1 pound of animal protein versus 1 pound of vegetable protein is causing a lot more damage to our environment than the factories and the cars. In other words, eating less meat, dairy and eggs does more for the environment than driving a Prius.
I admire the message that "An Inconvenient Truth" was giving, I just wish it had done more as far as presenting a solution.
