An Inconvenient Truth Hot

An Inconvenient Truth is the most important movie you could see with your child. The subject matter isn't funny or wacky, but it proves with real facts, figures, photographs, charts, videos, and documentation that global warming is real and is destroying our children's world, literally. Our children will be the ones trying to live through rising water, increasing natural diasters, and a decreasing food and water supply. Despite the tone given in the trailer, the information is not delivered in a doomsday or fear-based manner nor is it very political.

I was most fascinated by two facts: (1) of the entire world, the United States is bringing on 1/3 of the global warming problem and (2) while no scientific paper has ever disputed global warming, 53% of documents in the media show there is doubt in its existence. Parents should most definitely see this film, especially if they doubt global warming exists. Use this film as an opportunity to bond with your child as you work together to curb your family's contributions to this problem that we are creating for the rest of the world. For 5th grade and up.
