Movie sequels almost never do as well as the original, and given the sort of public opinion we are seeing about global warming/climate change/climate disruption, this idea for a sequel to An Inconvenient Truth will likely go over like a lead balloon.
(h/t to WUWT Jason) They write:
Al Gore might need to dust off his projector. The creative forces behind the Oscar-winning environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth are hatching plans for a sequel to the film that raised global awareness of climate change. “We have had conversations,” producer Lawrence Bender tells THR. “We’ve met; we’ve discussed. If we are going to make a movie, we want it to have an impact.”
Heh, like Gore’s Reality Drop…
(Lower number is better, ex: Google is traffic rank #1)
…I look forward to watching his sequel….bomb.
Bloomberg tv is now running this 14.33 minute interview featuring, Penn State professor Michael Mann, director of the Earth Institute Jeffrey Sachs and Princeton professor Michael Oppenheimer.

Don’t miss it, it confirms our worst fears.
Yep, they still get time on a panel without a skeptic.
The sequel, In Like Flint, was even better “ It posits an international feminist conspiracy to depose the ruling American patriarchy with a feminist matriarchy “.
“R. Shearer says: ”
“April 2, 2014 at 4:04 pm”
“The sequel – “Al’s Bogus Journey.””
Now that’s funny
There will be a star cast. Barack Hussein Obama himself will be featured prominently. The movie will get two Oscars and BHO will get his second Nobel Peace Prize.
There is already a film called “An Inconvenient Truth 2” from 2012.
It is shown in the UK on something called The Community Channel AKA the Who The Hell Is Watching This Channel?
On IMDB it’s maker has posted the synopsis below – nobody else has been interested enough to comment on or rate the film.
“After graduating in philosophy and politics, Jack Guest single-handedly funded, directed and produced a film to address the impact of climate change and uncover workable solutions.
Inspired by former United States Vice President Al Gore’s 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth, Jack travels by boat to Sweden, a country aiming to break its dependency on oil by 2020, to speak with leading politicians, scientists and entrepreneurs. Jack also meets with families committed to reducing their impact on the environment and visits an eco-village completely dependent on renewable resources.
Jack says: In no uncertain terms we face a huge problem on planet earth and An Inconvenient Truth 2 looks at turning that problem into an opportunity, showing that we can make things work, for everybody. It gives a positive message that things can get better and that change does not have to mean sacrifice.”
He asserts: we already have the answers to climate change and we just need to implement them. The solutions for a stable climate do exist and they can enrich rather than restrict our daily lives.”

I think these idiots should listen to fellow idiot Bill McKibben and go on strike. After all, we’re just not listening to them anymore…
Don’t buy it! Or robert call it ‘Al’s fantasies’.
PS. Or call it “I had a dream’ possibly not the best but will not go down with Afro Americans well.
A brilliant idea, hopefully as a documentary of the making of the AGW rumour into the CAGW cash grab.
With loving profiles of all the main actors, Al , Maurice, Michael…their contributing roles and the cost to the taxpayers of the each actors participation.
Extra credits for showing how each has profited from spreading false fears of climate.
Starring the bureaucrats of the world famous kleptocracy, the UN.
In the credits I trust they will name all those who have died prematurely due to idiotic policies imposed in the name of the Inconvenient Truth, pushed off their homelands for alternative energy fads and a special shout out to all the poor brown people who’s misery has been prolonged by these eco-loons.
If they wait long enough they could even cover the collapse of the big lie and the astonishingly unpleasant fallout.
Course if this is to be done by Big Al and friends.. some will need ghost writers.
“An Inconvenient Truth” is our generation’s “Reefer Madness.”
Knock yourself out, Al.
Our amazing Mike MacCracken is at it defending the IPCC:
“Mike MacCracken Today at 2:49 PMToSkeptics,
You ought to at least give consideration to the possibility that you might be on the wrong side of things, given that the chances of having gotten so many nations and so many in the scientific community to be endorsing the IPCC findings (note that I actually think them too cautious) would involve having created a conspiracy far larger than any that has ever existed.
Mike MacCracken”
Oh sure Mikey, all this money from the UN, the EU, all these university departments of sustainable -put your own field here-, the synchronicity of the MSM as soon as some alarmist paper hits the news, the absence of any referendum on carbon taxation, and so on, sure Mikey all this is pure luck, pure coincidence. And I have a bridge to sell you too… especially if that’s your last line of argument.
If you want a prequel viewing, go to attend a Climate Reality Leadership Corps presentation. The slides are basically an update of the “Inconvenient Truth” presentation. You can track local presentations, or even request one, at this website: http://climaterealityproject.org/leadership-corps/
Gore & Co. will do the following to stir up interest:
a) tie CAGW with opposition to fracking: The Greens are REALLY up in arms about fracking, and the Goracle will attempt to tap into this energy. I’m watching it happen with local groups.
b) Climate Disruption: the storyline is being prepared to include much more than just warming, including reasons why the warming caused this past winter’s severe cold temperature, how increased moisture levels in the atmosphere actually exacerbate droughts, etc. I kid you not.
c) It’s more than just carbon dioxide: Already, the Obama administration is going after methane, please see http://feedstuffs.com/story-administration-releases-methane-strategy-45-110598
Don’t count these bums out as dead yet. Like vampires and zombies, they keep popping up when you least expect it.
Kinda cool when our president visits his “hometown”, Chicago.
A couple of ospreys flew in on Friday (they’ll never sneak up on a foe ?).
You also catch the occasional rumble of the F-15/16’s overhead, no flight of the usual 4-5 Chinook helicopters this time ?
Changing it up, maybe.
“We want it to have an impact”
This is the justification required to produce an epi sci-fi ……as described by the illustrious ‘The Conversation’..
20 February 2014, 4.47pm AEST ‘Cli-fi’: could a literary genre help save the planet?
“The need for a narrative form that can communicate the seriousness of climate change to a broad public is more urgent than ever, but one impediment has been been in its way. This situation is about to change, with the imminent rise of cli-fi, a new genre of climate fiction.”
Truly ‘Lost in Space’.
‘epic’
If at first you don’t succeed, fail and fail again. Good luck, Al – your fifteen minutes are up!

Doesn’t he learn?
Yes he does, that’s why he’s going to do it again. Until the people that reject CAGW get equal media coverage it will remain the same.
This AGW cult of Gore’s is really showing itself as irrelevant with this rush to relive the glory days which won’t be recaptured … it’s become an incestuous group of true believers while normal folk just try to go on scratching out an existence … AIT2? .. yawn … Earth Hour? .. yawn … IPCC release about impending doom? .. yawn … you want to do something useful about saving the planet? .. how about filling in some potholes.

Re Inconvenient Truth 2
‘ we already have the answers to climate change and we just need to implement them’
Obviously asking the wrong questions.
I’ll breathlessly await Tipper’s tell all. Now THAT will win a Pulitzer.
“Return of the Gorgasm”
I like “Convenient Lies” from the MTV list posted above.
Dang, when I glanced at this, I thought they were going to make The Day After the Day After Tomorrow. I loved that movie, but then I’m a sucker for disaster movies of all kinds. But Inconvenient Truth II? I think I’d rather watch The Untranslated Collection of Fidel Castro’s Greatest Speeches
The biggest insult is not to hire it, or write about it with spoilers to IMBD And rate it 1.
I’ve heard they are going to call it ‘A Very Convenient Lie’
