Richard Harris has covered climate change for many years here at NPR and Bob Mondello is our resident film critic.īoth are here with me in the studio. NORRIS: We've turned to two our in-house experts to critique An Inconvenient Truth on the basis of both science and entertainment.

The film was produced by Davis Guggenheim and as a starting point, it uses Al Gore's standard lecture on climate change, a slick presentation that includes charts, graphs, disturbing photographs and pithy cartoons. Well, actually, it's about Al Gore and his long quest to raise awareness about global warming, an issue he calls a planetary emergency.
