Klappentext zu „Truth to Power “
A New York Times bestseller!The follow up to the #1 New York Times bestselling An Inconvenient Truth and companion to Vice President Al Gore's new documentary, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, this new book is a daring call to action. It exposes the reality of how humankind has aided in the destruction of our planet and delivers hope through groundbreaking information on what you can do now.
Vice President Gore, one of our environmental heroes and a leading expert in climate change, brings together cutting-edge research from top scientists around the world; approximately 200 photographs and illustrations to visually articulate the subject matter; and personal anecdotes and observations to document the fast pace and wide scope of global warming. He presents, with alarming clarity and conclusiveness (and with humor, too) that the fact of global climate change is not in question and that its consequences for the world we live in will be assuredly disastrous if left unchecked.
Follow Vice President Gore around the globe as he tells a story of change in the making. He connects the dots of Zika, flooding, and other natural disasters we've lived through in the last 10+ years-and much more.
The book also offers a comprehensive how-to guide on exactly how we can change the course of fate. With concrete, actionable advice on topics ranging from how to run for office to how to talk to your children about climate change, An Inconvenient Sequel will empower you to make a difference-and lets you know how exactly to do it.
Where Gore's first documentary and book took us through the technical aspects of climate change, the second documentary is a gripping, narrative journey that leaves you filled with hope and the urge to take action immediately. This book captures that same essence and is a must-have for everyone who cares deeply about our planet.
Autoren-Porträt von Al Gore
Al Gore war acht Jahre unter Bill Clinton Vizepräsident der USA. 2000 verlor er nur knapp und unter bis heute umstrittenen Umständen die Präsidentschaftswahlen gegen George W. Bush. Er ist als Direktor und Berater für verschiedene Unternehmen tätig, u.a. Google, Apple Computer, für den Satellitensender Current TV und für Generation Investment Management, ein Unternehmen für nachhaltiges, umweltverträgliches Investment. 1992, kurz vor seiner Wahl zum Vizepräsidenten, landete Gore mit "Wege zum Gleichgewicht" einen internationalen Öko-Bestseller. Er ist verheiratet und Vater von vier Kindern. Insider sagen ihm Ambitionen auf die Präsidentschaftskandidatur 2008 nach. 2007 erhielt Al Gore den Friedensnobelpreis.
