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?“.
Hey you all,
Can someone tell me if it’s true that Al Gore, after a trip to Latin America, has said that he regrets he did not study latin more diligently at school so he would have been able to talk to people on his trip.
“Albert Gore Jr. won the Nobel peace prize was vice president for 8 years without scandal …”
Not quite. Here are a few interesting quotes from the book, The Stupidest Things Ever Said by Politicians:
On Illegal Fund-Raisers at Buddhist Temples, Al Gore on:
Explanation number 1: It wasn’t a fund-raiser, it was a “community outreach event.”
Explanation number 2: It wasn’t a fund-raiser, it was just “finance-related.”
Explanation number 3: It wasn’t a fund-raiser, it was a “donor-maintenance meeting.”
There’s also this amusing tidbit:
On Historical Knowledge, Vice-Presidential:
“Who are these guys?”
Al Gore, referring to the busts of Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, and Lafayette on a televised tour of Monticello. (p. 109)
And this:
“A zebra cannot change its spots.” (p. 54)
And this:
On Senator’s Sons, Typical Days of:
“[My father] taught me how to clean out hog waste with a shovel and a hose. He taught me how to clear land with an ax. He taught me how to plow a steep hillside with a team of mules. He taught me how to take up hay all day long in the hot sun and then, after a dinner break, go help the neighbors take up hay before the rain came and spoiled it on the ground.”
Vice President Al Gore on the virtues of farm life, not mentioning that, as a rich senator’s son, all this was presumably learned on summer vacation from Harvard. A real farmer’s son, Republican National chairman Jim Nicholson, replied, “Mr. Vice President, with all due respect, you’re shoveling a lot more of it right now than you ever did back then.” (p. 141)
And this:
On Timing is Everything:
“[Due to pollution, cars pose] a mortal threat to the security of every nation.”
Senator Al Gore in his 1992 book, Earth in the Balance.
“Here in Motor City we recognize that cars have done more than fuel our commerce. Cars have freed the American spirit and given us the chance to chase our dreams.”
Vice President Al Gore — while gearing up for his 2000 presidential run — in a 1999 speech to the Economic club of Detroit. (p. 253)
Wade (06:46:18) :
Ah yes, Al Gore. Does anybody remember the fuel additive MTBE? It just so happens that this fuel additive was ground water poison. It can be cleaned up, but it ain’t cheap. Does anybody remember who was the one pushing MTBE? Answer: Al Gore and Carol Browner.
Here is what is known. A disciple (and yes I mean disciple) of Al Gore, Carol Browner, knew MTBE was groundwater poison but destroyed those documents. The data was suppressed that showed a dissenting viewpoint; sound familiar?
There’s also this amusing tidbit:
On Historical Knowledge, Vice-Presidential:
“Who are these guys?”
Al Gore, referring to the busts of Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, and Lafayette on a televised tour of Monticello. (p. 109)
That was during the Clinton Grand Triumphant bus ride through Virginia to D.C. The docent at Monticello has already done her little talk about the contents of the room (which includes a description of the busts and who sculpted them) when Algore asked that question, the look on her face was priceless. It was at that precise moment I realized that we had yet another idiot-elect VP. Of course he went on to prove this over and over during the next 8+ years. His climate nonsense was just another indication of his lack of knowledge.

Inconvenient truths indeed!!!
It would be rather nice if some sceptic film production company could be found to produce a film showing where the Inconvenient Truth propaganda film and its warnings therein have turned out to be so far from the truth, and to dig deep into the financial benefits that Gore has gained from attaching his businesses to the global warming falsehoods. that he has promoted. Much of the material for such a film would be readily available from this site. I for one would be happy to make a substantial donation towards the production of such a film.
Here you go, enjoy, and share. “Climate Hustle” is still readily available on DVD from C-Fact priced, I think, $19.99
An Inconvenient Data Set??
Here’s part of Scott Adams’ blog post from yesterday, at http://blog.dilbert.com/post/154250104221/watching-trump-create-money-from-nothing
Kittens give Morbo gas!
Very, very good! My son and daughter-in-law, both, like me, engineers, sent me Dilbert’s ‘Salary Theorem’.
Knowledge is Power, Time is Money
As every engineer knows;
Power = Work/Time
hence
Knowledge = Work/Money
and
Money = Work/Knowledge
As Knowledge approches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the amount of Work
Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.
How about: “Code Red For The Blue Marble”, or “We’re Going To Need A Bigger Scissors Jack”.
New title?
Inconvenient Reality?
Busted ! Years of lying by another greedy parasite.?
The so misnamed “An Inconvenient Truth” was comedy,propaganda so thick and heavy handed that it will rank with “Reefer madness” in the halls of misfired messages.
A sequel?
Al Gore is gonna try telling the truth?
After the first pack of lies failed to persuade, after enriching himself selling doom and self hatred to the gullible, what is next?
After all the damage to taxpayer this monster lie has caused, Gore would be better off with “shut up”.
However with classic Progressive/Democrat style I expect a movie with the premise that reality is wrong and only the official Narrative is acceptable.
Funny how most of these “Planet Savers” fit the typical image. Do-Gooder, a cover for a power hungry loon.
Since the first one spectaculatly failed its mission to make us believe in global warming, and everyone knows sequels always stink, they will have to crank up the sales pressure this time, maybe give a tax break for attending the showing, also expect to stand and recite the national anthem and global anthem (not written yet) beforehand to foster a greater sense of national pride and global togetherness, if you dare not rise you will be hauled out a there and dealt with.

There once was a man named Al,
Who thought everyone was his pal,
It could’ve been confusion,
or maybe a delusion,
but his best friend’s a computer named HAL.

I am waiting for the Park City weather forecast for mid-Jan.
Well, it is primarily a ski resort, so the locals are most likely out doing their snow dances in hopes of appeasing the local Gods and receiving many meters of fluffy frozen water. Kind of curious why Redford would select this location for Sundance unless they are convinced that it will be warm and sunny thanks to CAGW….

The photo accompanying this post clearly misrepresents the subject, since the flaming cloud actually blows from the opposite orifice.
Now the photo would work great for a certain group of authors (whom we are forbidden to mention here), if we added dragon ears, dragon wings, and, of course, a pointed dragon tail.
Where are the monster hurricanes from the first movie poster?
What is the IPCC’s projection for sharknadoes ? “Impossible occurrences”, you say ? … You’d think. But we have CO2 now as a pollutant, and so I dismiss nothing as a possibility.
Oh, you mean CO2 pollution was just a fantasy for movies all along ? Whew !, … you had me going there for a while.
An Inconvenient Truth II: Because the First Load of Crap Didn’t Work.
Rick Perry may be the DOE pick according to Zero Hedge moments ago.
I am not a fan at all…This is going to be a very big mistake. Just ask Australia about all those recent statewide wind generated blackouts, ERCOT issues and all those former Enron cats still running amok out there that received billions in stimulus funds, got rich and crashed all those green companies costing us dearly (and in the future with double to triple electric rates and and grid problems). This is crap in no uncertain terms.

Is it going to be called, “Wrong Again”?
Oddly enough, it was the hype about the original and The Weather Channel” that helped convince me CAGW was a sham, “political science’.
Back then the TWC’s “Weather on the 8’s” included the record highs and lows for the day. I noticed that records for my little spot on the globe didn’t seem to be reflecting what CAGW, as Al promoted, should be happening.
In 2007 I went to the NWS’s listed records of the highs and lows and found that most of the record highs were before 1950 and most of the record lows were after 1950. (This was years before I found WUWT.)
I went back about 5 years later and found that there were many new record highs and lows. Not new ones set, but old ones changed. (ie a new record high for the day “set” more recently was lower than the old record high for the day in the 2007 list.)
TWC stopped putting up the record highs and lows for the day a few years ago. (I wonder why?)
But I would like to thank them, the back then “them”, for helping to confirm my suspicions that Al was full of hot air.
I am surprised given St Gores last 24 borathon totally bummed out , you think that their not be any millage in this . Still the bad news is he will once again hes gets a ego boast and will make a ton of cash, both of which hardly need adding to . The good news is hat the people who will lose cash are the dam fools who want to go and watch it .
Are they going to fake the “heating CO2 in a bottle” experiment again? I really liked that.
Regarding the nine errors in Gore’s film ruled by the High Court of Justice of England, Error 4 alone is enough to debunk CAGW. As Einstein said about the “100 authors against Einstein,” if I were wrong one would be enough. One error is enough, nine errors are more than enough to dismiss Gore’s film as science fiction. A sequel to Gore’s science fiction? I would rather watch the sequel to Star Wars
To make a geeky distinction–“science fiction’ tries to get the science right, or at least does not depend on deliberately violating it. “Fantasy” uses something as an essential plot element that is impossible. Gore did a fantasy.
They had that all ready for Hillary’s win at the election…. But things didn’t go as planned. 😉
The start of Al Gores
undeclared civil war.
The Farmer’s Almanac forecasts colder than normal temperatures for the northern High Plains region in January 2017. My wife, as a high school student in Casper WY, recalls a guest lecturer once addressed her whole school on the subject of global warming on the coldest day of the year. She says in the people of Wyoming they WANT global warming.
Wonder if they are going to rate this one as a “Situation Comedy” like the last one?
Maybe Adam Sandler can sing the theme song: My suggestion is this little diddy from the ‘Wedding Singer’..
