Gore Confirms Sequel To An Inconvenient Truth In The Works
Filed under: green and famous — Michael Andre d'Estries @ 2:05 pm
We’ve long speculated that there would be, but now The Sun is quoting Al Gore as saying that a sequel to An Inconvenient Truth is going to happen. Who’s ready to start waiting in line right now? From the article
“The former US Vice President said: ‘I will make a sequel to the 2006 documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and despite earths ‘rising fever’, I am hopeful for a happy ending”. However, he admitted that the situation had instead got worse since his documentary hit cinemas in 2006. Gore said: ‘I have to say the situation has not improved since I made the movie in 2006. Sure, awareness has grown and more people are concerned since scientists said we had just ten years to take action to halt rising sea levels,’ was quoted as saying by The Sun.”
Gore’s first documentary was a critical and box-office success — with some crediting the film for seriously increasing the momentum of today’s environmental movement. The former VP’s fears, however, are justified as a recent Gallup poll showed only 1/3 of Americans are concerned about climate change — the same number as measured 19 years ago!
Will Gore’s next film on the topic draw people into the theaters for another dose of climate change education? Or should he stick to other methods for informing people? What do you think?

I wonder if he will actually address how MUCH animal agriculture affects the environment, being that it it responsibly then all modes of transportation combined…..
[...] We’ve already heard that Al Gore is hard at work on a sequel to his documentary An Inconvenient Truth, but might Leonardo DiCaprio also be planning a follow up to his 11th Hour? [...]
[...] In April of last year, The UK Sun quoted Al Gore as saying that a sequel to his hit An Inconvenient Truth was indeed in the works. Left to the imagination was whether Gore meant a film or book was coming first. Well, his blog cleared all that up today with a press release announcing his new book Our Choice — described as “picking up where An Inconvenient Truth left off”. From the release, Our Choice utilizes Mr. Gore’s forty years of experience as a student, policymaker, author, filmmaker, entrepreneur and activist to comprehensively describe the real solutions to global warming. A co-recipient of the Nobel Peace prize in 2007 for his environmental work, Mr. Gore continues to make sense of the pressing issues we face and Our Choice will unquestionably inspire and rally those ready to fight for solutions that were deemed impossible only a short time ago.
