Historically perhaps the first closest moment the US "government" has got to an overarching view of global warming and impact, it is essential for anyone studying the way this issue has gone through the public understanding of science.

The problem with the text is its most important feature: while simplifying the dialogue for easy access it also sets the discussion around overly simplified messages and does not move beyond into realistic measures.

I believe that the doomsaying ends up threatening conservatives because it comes with suspicions of large government programs as the response. If Gore had been more focused on the potential policy choices rather than hockey sticks, the discussion would have been "what choices do we have" and more unifying in the dialogue, I believe. ( )

Cliche filled pseudo science book which aims to repurpose all of the Gore's political causes into one financially profitable area and advocate for climate crisis changes to the whole world. Gore says that this effort is similar to the space race to the Moon or both World Wars.

Pretty scary stuff. I would think after reading this book, we would all want to do our part to save the environment for future generations. ( )

This is very tolerable pop-science. Gore keeps it rather simple, and changes voice pretty frequently. Sometimes he gives personal details about his own involvement in various political efforts having to do with global warming. Other chapters simply discuss the extent, mechanisms, and impact of climate change.

The talk about God is, no doubt, politically necessary, even for an erstwhile presidential candidate. ( )

Necesario para una comparación con otras teorías, como las expuestas en "En el ecologista escéptico". Algo desactualizado para estas fechas, pero interesante siempre.
