Two decades after An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s dire predictions clash with data on extreme weather, polar bears, and fossil fuels.
Two decades ago, Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth thrust climate change into the global spotlight. With dramatic imagery and dire warnings, it transformed a niche concern into a front-page crisis, influencing leaders in rich countries and elite jet-setters, and inspiring a generation of activists. [some emphasis, links added]
Twenty years affords distance to reflect not just on the film’s impact but also its accuracy. Many of Gore’s most alarming predictions have failed to materialize, while the policy response it helped inspire has proven extraordinarily flawed.
The film’s core narrative was that climate change is driving ever-worsening disasters, such as floods, droughts, storms, and wildfires.
