NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore's second book about global warming will be published in April with the title "An Inconvenient Truth," his publisher Rodale Books said on Tuesday.
Gore, the Democrat who lost to George W. Bush in the disputed 2000 presidential election, has been a long-standing campaigner on environmental issues.
The book is tied to a documentary of the same title about Gore's environmental campaigning which was shown at the Sundance Film Festival on Tuesday. It follows up on Gore's successful 1992 book "Earth in The Balance."
Many scientists say global warming is melting glaciers, raising sea levels and will cause more intense storms, droughts and floods. Current levels of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere are higher now than at any time in the past 650,000 years, research from Antarctic ice cores shows.
However some have questioned whether climate change is the result of human activity and the United States has refused to sign the Kyoto protocol on cutting greenhouse gas emissions, claiming its mandatory cuts would threaten economic growth.
"In the film, Mr. Gore guides audiences through indisputable evidence of the environmental impact of global warming," Rodale said in a statement.
"In the book, the former U.S. Vice President writes about global warming and shares his personal story about how the issue became of urgent importance to him."
Gore served two terms as vice president under President Bill Clinton before losing to Bush in the 2000 election despite winning the popular vote.
oh goody! i love comic books!!!
Is the the same Al Gore who endorsed Howard Dean right before his flameout?
Something to thank God daily for...
Oh yeah, it sold at least 12 copies...
Somebody ought to photoshop that Cindy Sheehan book signing picture w/ AlGore.
Co-authored by John McCain!
Rodale is a second-string publisher at best. I guess Al couldn't get a major publishing house interested in a word he says.
The book should enjoy brisk sales in Moscow, where the temperature has been something like 30 below for months, a clear indication of how quickly the planet is warming.
As long as brainless morons like Algore continue to pimp the "global warming" agenda, it will continue to be a tough sell to those of us who have common sense.
"Successful" ??? LOL!
They mean "sucksessful"
Publisher of Men's Health- cancel your subscription. I did after they gave scumbag "cartoonist" Ted Rall a forum.
Big Al's got a problem though, he has competition:

An Inconvenient Truth should be the story of his 2000 election loss.
You can out one of the books in your bathroom to be used as toilet paper .That would be recycling .
Ted Kaczinski will be delighted!
The "Inconvenient Truth" is that the earth has been gradually warming for about 20,000 years, and since the end of the last ice age 10-12,000 years ago there have been warmer and cooler periods of varying lengths of time. If we got to live long enough we'd eventually see another ice age.
Could our activities raise the global temperature? Sure, maybe by a few tenths of a degree over a few hundred years. But one moderate sized volcanic eruption pumps more gases into the atmosphere than all of our SUVs, power plants and trash burning for a year. No matter what we do, nature will have her way.
That schematic looks like HillaryCare.
