''AnInconvenientTruth'' is a {{documentary}} presented by former U.S. vice president AlGore and directed by Davis Guggenheim that deals with the threat of [[GlobalWarming global climate change]]. The title stems from a quote stating that people will not believe something, even if it is true, if their livelihoods depend on them not believing it -- used here in reference to the energy industry and other polluters. A companion book was created titled ''An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It''.

''AnInconvenientTruth'' is the [[http://boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=documentary.htm ninth-highest grossing documentary film to date in the United States.]]
