It frightens me to no end that this book was the first place I saw so much of the evidence for global warming. It's horrifying how little scientifically accurate reporting has been done on the issue in the mainstream press. The evidence and the consequences of global warming, caused primarily by manmade CO2 emissions, is absolutely compelling, and Al Gore has done a great service by compiling it into both a documentary film and a very readable and understandable book.

If you haven't seen the movie or read the book, you should. And install some fricking compact florescent light bulbs or buy a Prius already.
