Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis was published by Rodale Books, who previously published An Incontinent Truth in 2006. All proceeds go to Alliance for Climate Protection, a non-profit organization committed to educating the global community and implementing solutions.

To prepare for the book, Gore organized more than thirty comprehensive "Solution Summits" where leading experts on neuroscience, agriculture, economics and information technology gathered to discuss the most effective course of action.

The book explains the pros and cons of various renewable energies and the latest technological developments. Offering hope, in the last chapter Gore imagines a future generation asking how we were able to come together to avert catastrophic climate change.
