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.
Didn't Algore hear about the sub-zero temps in Europe this winter ????
I guess I'll prepare for a cold April.
Let's buy some, then burn a pile to show how Algore contributed to global warming - we can cite the number of trees killed for his book, the amount of trees killed for our information flyers, the amount of fossil fuel burned to congregate. It could be fun, especially if a bunch of us bring hotdogs, marshmallows, and hot cocoa...
Wow - he's wrong about this too.
Go figure........
Sort of like James Carville and Paul Begala's new book to save the democrat party, since they did so well in the election last year advising John Kerry.
"Successful" ??? LOL!
GORE TO WARN OF 'GLOBAL WARMING' ON NEW YORK CITY'S COLDEST DAY IN DECADES!
In what political watchers are calling possibly the biggest gaffe in years, former Vice President Al Gore is set to give a speech tomorrow on the perils of global warming -- on what is expected to be the coldest day in New England in nearly half a century!

Against the advice of senior advisers, Gore is planning to appear at the historic Beacon Theatre in Manhattan on Thursday to issue an indictment of the Bush administration's "inaction on global warming."
Gore will make the warming case on a day forecasters are predicting the coldest temps in Boston since 1957, with wind chills in parts of New England plunging to 100 degrees below zero
That means its gonna snow in May.
It is only warming when Al opens his mouth to exhale.
The book should be replete with examples of various historical fallacies.
They had to close down the tour of an Hawaiian volcano yesterday because of snow.
Al Bore. That sucker is boring.
Right below the headline for this story on Drudge was the following headline!
"Deadly freeze claims more lives in Eastern Europe; Minus 13 in Warsaw..."
It's George Bush's fault.
Just once I'd like to see some real science about how co2 traps heat and how much more heat 70ppm traps than 40ppm. I'd also like to know how much more co2 the ocean eats if it is one degree warmer. I imagine it would be in the billions of tons/yr.
Is he going to claim he invented global warming too?
I wish this jerk would take a flying leap into the crater of Mt. St. Helens.
