This book is the shortened virsion of the book An Inconvient Truth by Al Gore. It is easier to read than the original and was intended for younger people. However I think it is informitive enough to be good for anyone. It says mostly the same things but as you may have noticed is not in near as high demand. I think this is a must read unless of course you have already seen the movie. I think golbal warming is the most important problem the world faces today.
