documentary and best-selling book An Inconvenient Truth, has no doubt galvanized many citizens in North America to look hard at their own personal contributions to climate change. Al Gore is successful at getting the message of global change to people is because he himself already packaged the information in an entirely consumable manner. That is, he relies on the power of images as evidence to his facts and figures. Large beautiful and awe-inspiring photographs comprise most of this book, and all information that can be presented visually is. Gore doesn’t hold back with showing the immensity of the problem the world is faced with but remains hopeful yet pragmatic about what can and must be done. The book doesn’t end on its last page. Instead, it encourages you to visit www.climatecrisis.net where you can interact with a community of environmental activists.
