Gore's role as a leading emissary on the dangers of global warming has been reinforced by his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," released in select markets May 24 and now nationally, as well as in Syracuse. In the film, Gore--a powerful and effective speaker--makes an urgent and compelling case for responsible environmental policy based on solid scientific evidence.
