What is the signification of the title of the movie "An Inconvenient Truth"?

Question

like what does the word inconvenient have to do with it

Answer 1

because now that people know about global warming there is no excuse not to do anything anymore. so  people are going to have to change and that is inconvenient.

Answer 2

silly, it is a play on words.  the original phrase is " an inconvenient woman"  and THAT means a woman who is in the middle of a married couple who is sleeping with the husband and what used to be fun for him is now inconvenient because she is demanding he tell his wife or she will. that is what it means.  it means someone   ( the other woman)  he could take for granted who is now being unpleasant ( now an inconvenient woman).  it is an old phrase that is commonly known.  it  could also be called an ironic understatement.  

same thing with the title to this movie, the inconvenient truth is that the earth we take for granted is in trouble according to al gore and he feels we need to pay attention to his claim that this is an unpleasant alleged truth.

Answer 3

it is easier to believe a lie, much more convenient for all involved..............the truth brings change, or should, but it is a struggle and life is no longer convenient.

i thought it was when the wife finds out about the other women, now that's an inconvenient truth !!!

Answer 4

According to Al Gore, the "inconvenience" in "An Inconvenient Truth" is that consumers will have to give up some of the luxuries that have become necessities if they adopt the ecological policies necessary to combat global warming.

Then again, according to a Tennessee electric company, the inconvenient truth just might be Gore's $30,000 a year utility bill.

Answer 5

The inconvenient truth shown to us by this movie (originally a book) is the fact that we, the human race, are causing a global rise in CO2 levels which, if left unchecked, will cause a catastrophic destruction of the environment and upsetting of the world's weather systems, with potentially devastating consequences.
