| A Call to Action that Answers the Questions Posed by the Grammy Award-Winning An Inconvenient Truth
It is now abundantly clear that we have at our fingertips all of the tools we need to solve the climate crisis. The only missing ingredient is collective will.
Our Choice gathers in one place all of the most effective solutions that are available now and that, together, will solve this crisis. It is meant to depoliticize the issue as much as possible and inspire readers to take action — not only on an individual basis, but as participants in the political processes by which every country, and the world as a whole, makes the choice that now confronts us.
Annotation:
Nobel Peace Prize recipient Al Gore updates the status of the compelling ecological issues he first raised in his 2006 film and book AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, revealing that the solutions to every environmental problem exist, if we can summon the collective initiative to enact them. Gore identifies the most pressing issues facing the planet, from our reliance on fossil fuel to global warming to the deterioration of the oceans, and then provides specific plans to overcome each crisis, including practical information which makes it easy for each reader to do their part in protecting the planet, both locally and globally.
