In "An Inconvenient Truth: The Crisis of Global Warming: Teen Edition," Al Gore expresses his disappointment with Congress's reaction to the pressing issue of global warming. He had hoped that the compelling nature of the narrative he presented would shock lawmakers into taking significant action. However, he found that their response was underwhelming and did not reflect the urgency of the crisis.

This reflects a broader concern about political engagement with environmental issues. Gore's belief in the transformative power of storytelling to evoke change highlights the disconnect between scientific evidence and political will, leaving him and many others frustrated with the slow pace of legislative action on such a critical matter.
