Paramount has announced that a sequel to Al Gore’s 2006 climate documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” will be aired at the Sundance Festival in January 2017.
Paramount Pictures will distribute a still-untitled An Inconvenient Truth sequel
Paramount Pictures announced today it will release a still untitled An Inconvenient Truth sequel theatrically. From Participant Media, and directed by Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, the An Inconvenient Truth sequel follows former Vice President Al Gore as he continues his decades-long fight to build a more sustainable future for our planet. The 2006 original won two Academy Awards.
“Now more than ever we must rededicate ourselves to solving the climate crisis,” says Gore. “But we have reason to be hopeful; the solutions to the crisis are at hand. I’m deeply honored and grateful that Paramount Pictures and Participant Media have once again taken on the task of bringing the critical story of the climate crisis to the world.”

I’m personally looking forward to the sequel. I mean, there are important questions unanswered by the first “Inconvenient Truth”, questions like “Why did you sell your TV station to Al Jazeera – what happened to the $100 million you took from the Qatar Oil Sheiks?“. Or “Why did you buy that Montecito beach view villa in 2010, if you thought sea level rise was about to engulf coastal towns?”. How about “How much electricity did you burn during Earth Hour 2009, when you left the lights on at your huge Tennessee mansion?“.
They need to issue Red-Green-Red arm bands as people exit the theater and then to see who puts them on.
Those who put them on go about their lives, always wearing it in public. Those who don’t get sent to re-education centers to “become literate about climatism” and learn the climate model prophesies.
Great. Check out this review for Inconvenient Truth #1:

I hope version 2 gets similar plaudits.
“If you didn’t buy into my last movie, you’re sure to buy into this one,….. “
Thanks to posting this, I was going to do so this morning, but decided errands were more important.
Besides, I couldn’t find the name of the new movie. It turns out it doesn’t have one yet. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/12/10/goremoviesequel/ says:
The environmental focus is a program that does have a name “The New Climate.” The full list of films and other events in that program are at http://www.sundance.org/blogs/news/followup-to-an-inconvenient-truth-to-world-premiere-at-2017-sundance-film-festival-as-day-one-screening
No name yet? How about “A Con Venient Sooth”?
What are the chances that the entire festival will be smothered under seven feet of snow?
. . . and when the snow melts.
It’s like a one-trick pony. The sequel will be the same trick.

Too bad the sequel won’t address the egregious errors and falsified data in the first one.
The most important thing to look for is if they actually get the Coriolis effect correct on the Hurricanes this time 🙂
The issue of climate has dropped to the bottom of public interest as nothing predicted ever occurred, so this is a desperate attempt by Communists to restart the discussion as a basis of a new world order. One where only the party elites have cars and electricity. The rest live in sustainability, also called depravity.
My reference was to the Hurricane spinning the wrong way in the Northern Hemisphere on the original Inconvenient Truth cover. Just saying,,,,,,
depravity (sic) = sure you meant “deprivation” 😉
Donald, mate? The Korean war is over, and since then we had one in Vietnam. How did you manage to miss all that? Have you been hiding in the jungle for 50 years?
Um, what tony? Do you think Communism disappeared after the end of the Korean war? It didn’t even disappear from Korea. Which is why we still have a North and South Korea.
In case you missed it, the North one is the Communist one. It’s also the One where only the party elites have cars and electricity. The rest live in sustainability, also called depravity. (Or just poverty. Same difference)

People are zoned out on climate alarmism. Movie will flop. Only Hollywood Communists will say how wonderful it is and that is justifies suspending civil rights to save the universe. Like how media wants to suspend the first amendment, calling all oppositional discussion fake news. I thought for a long time that the argument that the debate was over, was a climate statement. I now realize that Fascists and Communists don’t debate anything. If you disagree, you are a Deplorable. Basically, stupid and not worth listening to. This belief substitutes for facts, of which they have nothing important to say.
Science isn’t a debate. The climate science is settled. It is now just a matter of how much arming how soon.
warming, in case you hadn’t guessed…
Tony,
“Climate science” is far from settled. Real science is almost never settled. If it’s settled, it’s not science, to paraphrase the late, great Dr. Crichton.
Consensus isn’t science. It’s anti-science. CACA was born falsified. It’s a cult to get money and advance careers, like so many religious scams.
Here is a good road map for you.
I liked the arming post better. Pretty much game over for humanity at LIA 2.0
Tony: No. ‘Arming’ is more apposite…
lol.
Enough of it is settled. The risk of the so-called sceptics being wrong – on the balance of probabilities – is too great. Some here who are actually cheering for more warming are going to get a rude surprise.
“tony mcleod December 11, 2016 at 12:25 am”
So wrong it’s not even measurable…you have to make it up!
Erring on the side of the skeptics would mean any change in climate would be met with sound science and appropriate mitigations, if needed. Erring on the side of warming means everyone gets kicked back to pre-1880, unless you’re for more nuclear power plants. More nuclear plants are generally considered fine with the skeptics, so you’re on the same page with them if you’re for nuclear.
It’s somewhat amusing to follow the sentence “The climate science is settled”, with “It is now just a matter of how much [w]arming how soon.” Isn’t that precisely one of the main points that climate science has been *trying* to settle for several decades, without even narrowing the range of sensitivity? What’s your definition of settled science, “we all agree something will happen?”
A similar effort by the left on the topic of gun control was launched this weekend – “Miss Sloane” is a gun controller’s fantasy film about how everyone who supports the NRA is an evil, moral degenerate, while anyone who opposes them in Washington is Noble and Good, and most of all justified in committing any crimes in support of the Noble Goal. (seriously, that is the basic plot of the entire movie)
What a surpise! It’s already looking like a total flop – it’s been called the “female ghostbusters of the gun control movement”.
But really, who would have thought that, when looking for holiday entertainment, people would choose not to go listen to a 2 hour lecture on the wonders of gun control???
They’re not even trying any more. Their indoctrination efforts that led to establishment of their fortunes was more successful when they hid their agenda under a thin veil of progressive popular culture. Now they’re just overtly “dirty.”
I am certain that this sequel is so that he can retract all the bullcrap from the first one, apologise for his lies and tell everyone the truth…. surely
With their penchant for bending, manipulating, and spindling the truth, the Left really goofed when they thought they could hang their cause on an issue that is based on hard data and science. Fake News is their Orwellian Ministry of Truth. The natural rise and fall of earth’s chaotic climate will always be intuitively apparent to the commoner. Sir Gore, you are uncommon.
The climate is not chaotic, you’re thinking of weather. Simple mistake.
So, the chaos of weather is cumulatively known as the order of climate?
Only with proper homogenization.
IPCC said…
“…The climate system is a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore the long-term prediction of future exact climate states is not possible…”
Some warmistas have spent well over a decade trying to argue that although the climate is chaotic, long-term predictions can actually be made. And now you’re going to claim they were wasting their time because it is not chaotic in the first place?
I know, I know…you’ll try re-defining climate to mean the average of weather and claim that the climate system isn’t what you mean by climate.
Climate is chaotic.
No. Next summer will be quite warm, and so will the one after that. That’s a fairly predictable cycle.
I’m going to dump 500 billion tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere – I predict it will get chaotically warmer.
“Climate is chaotic.” That’s OK, so are climate scientists.
Tony, re: “summer will be warm…”:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I understood that the warming trends are mostly about warmer winter anomalies and warmer nights vs. Summer and daytime highs (both of which don’t alarm me much). If so, why are you so sure next summer will be warmer (in the NH)?
“I’m going to dump 500 billion tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere – I predict it will get chaotically warmer.”
And I predict that it will result in a boost in the biosphere, both on land and in the ocean, which will result in a huge boost in plankton and other ocean borne lifeforms, with the ultimate result that the vast majority of this CO2 ends up sequestered on the bottom of the ocean floor in the form of vast carbonate deposits.
And that’s not simply speculation, that’s exactly what happened during the cretaceous period. It’s why the planet never suffered runaway greenhouse warming even during times (like the cretaceous) when CO2 levels were much higher than they are today.
Tony M: “No. Next summer will be quite warm, and so will the one after that. That’s a fairly predictable cycle.
I’m going to dump 500 billion tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere – I predict it will get chaotically warmer.”
Warm summers and cold winters are not what the warmists are talking about. They are talking about the Global Average Temperature, a mathematically derived value. Global warming says nothing about summers not being warm and winters not being cold. It does imply warmer summers and warmer winter, but does not predict the elimination of seasons. As an average, it also allows for many variations locally. It cannot predict local climate changes.
As for the second part, I predict nothing bad will happen. And?
“The climate is not chaotic, you’re thinking of weather….”
No, it is only a matter of defining the scale of time used.
From my pockets to his hands… That’s what he means…
nice post, thanks for sharing
NOAA needs to get ahead of the game and issue Algore Blizzard/Winter Storm Warnings for Park City, January 19-29, 2017. Epic levels of snow expected.
Passing note: President Trump’s inauguration on Jan 20 will be a day of heavy Prozac, Xanax, and alcohol abuse in Park City. Emergency medical centers should be ready.
Portland Oregons outside ice rink is CLOSED…
due to?
too much ice
cant make it up
How appropriate!
Here’s a recap of the Gore storey up to now.
Pinwheels and Mirrors
A long time ago (in the 80’s or so),
Al Gore warned that warming would soon be alarming;
“Our children won’t know what it’s like to see snow!
Fair gaia we must stop harming!”
He’d studied, in college, on James Hansen’s knowledge.
Then, over years of political careers,
He pondered this notion: The atmosphere and oceans
Are useful to raise public fears.
He made presentations to all the world’s nations.
His film (sci-fi trash) was a box office smash!
Academy sensation! Oscars, nominations
And copious currents of cash!
Then unto him fell the Peace Prize, Nobel…
Authority, on him was vested.
(Debates he must quell, for he knows quite well:
Models failed when reality tested.)
So, grew the meme of anthropogenic extreme.
While insiders profited highly,
Those who objected were quickly subjected
To ridicule (and regarded vilely).
Pinwheels and mirrors now litter the lands…
Power lines, mile after mile.
On high plains, sea cliffs and desert sands
Our vistas, they now beguile.
But, collectors of government subsidies
Find them a beautiful sight,
Big mechanical menaces… begging a breeze
Or a sunbeam to ‘make their cost right’.
Decades upcoming threaten cold’s icy numbing-
Nature’s cycles, in concert, are waning.
The slowness to warm should have cancelled alarm,
But Al never ceases campaigning:
“We humans are bad, with our fossil fuel fad,
It’s a fast-building carbon disaster!
And now it’s two-fold! It’s causing the cold
And the hotness to come so much faster!”
Yet, while he’s pleading that all should be heeding
His carbon reduction ambitions,
He hopes you’re not seeing his own footprint being
Hundreds of poor folks’ emissions.
Let’s hope he’s thought out, while jetting about,
The messages of his actions.
By far they outweigh any words he might say,
In the minds of the wiser factions.
This is cause for celebration! Look at what Gore says…”“But we have reason to be hopeful; the solutions to the crisis are at hand.” SOLUTIONS ARE AT HAND, PEOPLE!!! I, for one, can NOT wait!!!
Gore’s sequel will be just as bad as Independent Day: Resurgent … just watch, gosh so awful … but the earth is saved!!
My first question when I saw the commercials for that was”They had 20 years, why are they still grubbing around in the mud instead of populating the solar system or hunting down the origin point of the aliens?” Then it hit me! Will Smith has to pay for a sex change for his son. Never mind.
It’s been a year since Marc Murano’s “Climate Hustle” documentary debut and I haven’t been able to see it. I would have liked to. Maybe it’s just me but it should be available for free download by now. There is a shelf life to these latest installments in the “debate”. If it’s a money thing, then how about a download for $2.99? Or how about a break even goal where people like me could donate a $100 to make it “free” for others. I sure would like for climate agnostics, which most people are, to be able to hear a counter argument to Gore’s pablum.
Mairon62, “Climate Hustle” is still readily available on DVD from C-Fact priced, I think, $19.99. I only bought my copy within the last month because, erroneously, I was waiting for some notification that it was ‘now’ available for Region 2 (UK, Europe) playback. I sent Chris Rogers an email asking him when it would be available in Region 2, to which he replied that it was, in fact, Region 0 (or Region free), meaning it can be played anywhere!
I liked it, a lot. Just one, minor, criticism: I found it a little bit too fast-paced, almost breathless BUT being a DVD that is easily got around with the pause button, to give time to take it all in. Having followed the whole argument now for many years, I am fairly conversant with all the language used. But in a cinema situation, those new to the subject may find it slightly overwhelming.
One other criticism: being in the UK (and ordering from the US) I was forced to pay extra taxes etc. In the end, with the GPO extortionate “handling charge” of £8, my actual cost doubled to about £40. If only Amazon had had it, this could have been avoided.
Oh Deity’s Residence Above,
Just what the world doesn’t need …
An Inconvenient Sequel.
Mind you, it could be amusing sweepstake material:
Sweepstake 1: estimating its box-office receipts (or the lack of them).
Winner gets a free pass
Sweepstake 2: how many errors it repeats
Winners get two free passes
Sweepstake 3: how many errors are new
ummm … 🙂

Title: “Sancho Panza and the evil cooling towers”
Cost a lorry driver in UK £60k of a £200k court case to find the film was unsuitable for the classroom….sort of? It definitely was, requiring guidance on 9 points by teachers for it to proceed into class. This man should have is money returned and the UK tax payer…from Gore!
Quote from wiki:
Mr Justice Burton declared the case a victory for the claimant stating “I conclude that the claimant substantially won this case by virtue of my finding that, but for the new guidance note, the film would have been distributed in breach of sections 406 and 407 of the 1996 Education Act”.
“A spokesman for Al Gore stated that, “Of the thousands of facts in the film, the judge only took issue with just a handful. And of that handful, we have the studies to back those pieces up”
The meaningless studies that will be!

Will it feature performing poodles?
I do hope it includes the fraudulent thermometer experiment by Bill Nye the science lie.
