AUSTRALIA'S INCONVENIENT TRUTH: CLIMATE CHANGE

A presentation by Jim Minifie based on Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, with the specific implications for Australia.

An Inconvient Truth reviewed the scientific opinion on climate change, discussed the politics and economics of global warming, and described the consequences Gore believes global climate change will produce if the amount of human-generated greenhouse gases is not significantly reduced in the very near future.
