An Inconvenient Truth

Mind, Body & Soul Book Review: An Inconvenient Truth -  The Crisis of Global Warming by Al Gore.

From the award winning film, this is an enlightening book with full colour photographs. Every human being on this planet contributes in many ways to global warming but by being more conscious of our purchases, our uses of power, and by changing our lifestyle, we can reduce our impact.

We are at the turning point in this global catastrophe. If we care about the lives of our children and grandchildren and of millions of people around the world, we must address this crisis immediately.


The skyrocketing growth of the human population means that other species decline in numbers to the point of extinction for many. We consume vast quantities of food and water. Land used to grow crops to feed livestock is very wasteful on land and water resources. Our technologies, materials, consumables, nuclear accidents, war, mining, logging, air flights and travel, chemicals, the burning of fossil fuels, pollution, all contribute massively to the melting ice caps, higher temperatures affecting crop growth, population movement, melting glaciers, changing disease patterns, extremes of weather, and loss of the intricate web of life of which we are a part, and where each part depends for its survival on all other parts.

The book says little about what efforts need to be made world wide. "Denial is not just a river in Egypt!" Mark Twain
