false 8714 15 Our climate crisis may at times appear to be happening slowly, but in fact it is happening very quickly-and has become a true planetary emergency. The Chinese expression for crisis consists of two characters. The first is a symbol for danger; the second is a symbol for opportunity. In order to face down the danger that is stalking us and move through it, we first have to recognize that we are facing a crisis. So why is it that our leaders seem not to hear such clarion warnings? Are they resisting the truth because they know that the moment they acknowledge it, they will face a moral imperative to act? Is it simply more convenient to ignore the warnings? Perhaps, but inconvenient truths do not go away just because they are not seen. Indeed, when they are responded to, their significance doesnt diminish; it grows. -- Al Gore 1390174 book 26 5 2006 An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It total:1400|5:499|4:511|3:284|2:66|1:40| 1400 5563 2031 239 0 4 false false Tue Oct 16 08:14:22 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 16 08:37:51 -0700 2007 When i see this book i imagine someone grabbing it off the shelf at Borders, paying for it, slipping it into a corn bi-product plastic bag, heading ...more...]]> 5 4 false false Tue Sep 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 17:48:31 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 06:35:07 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 2 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Jun 18 16:03:54 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 18 16:04:45 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 2 false false Wed Oct 17 10:55:24 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 17 10:59:56 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Mar 21 21:21:57 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 21:32:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 2 false false Sat Sep 08 18:09:55 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 08 18:11:00 -0700 2007 1 1 false false Mon Jan 21 08:16:05 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 09:16:21 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Nov 20 07:44:31 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 20 07:44:31 -0800 2007
Gore does a wonderful job of presenting the data beside interesting diagrams which really help illustrate his point. Whether you believe global warming is a problem or not, you'll probably find this book interesting.
