Our Choice is a 2009 book written by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. Originally titled The Path to Survival it follows An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It, a companion book to the film An Inconvenient Truth. All profits of the book go to the Alliance for Climate Protection, which Gore founded in 2006. In September 2009, Nature Reports Climate Change called the book one of its "Must-reads for Copenhagen". Reviewing the book for Nature Reports Climate Change, Joseph Romm described its content: Whereas An Inconvenient Truth... framed the crisis that climate negotiations are tackling, this followup spells out what needs to be done. Based on 30 of Gore's 'Solutions Summits' as well as one-on-one discussions with leading experts across multiple disciplines, the book aims, in Gore's words, "to gather in one place all of the most effective solutions that are available now". Gore naturally focuses on energy, the source of most anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, and discusses many underappreciated strategies such as concentrated solar thermal power and cogeneration.
