Synopsis[edit]
The film follows the efforts made to tackle climate change and Al Gore's attempts to persuade governmental leaders to invest in renewable energy, culminating in the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2016, as well as attempting to de-bunk the de-bunkers of Gore, his film and global warming in general.
Production[edit]
When asked during a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" in 2013 whether there were plans for a follow-up film, An Inconvenient Truth director Davis Guggenheim said, "I think about it a lot – I think we need one right now."[6] In 2014, The Hollywood Reporter reported that the producers of the first film were in talks over a possible sequel.[7] "We have had conversations," co-producer Lawrence Bender said. "We've met; we've discussed. If we are going to make a movie, we want it to have an impact."[7] Co-producer Laurie David also believed a sequel was needed. "God, do we need one," David said. "Everything in that movie has come to pass. At the time we did the movie, there was Hurricane Katrina; now we have extreme weather events every other week. The update has to be incredible and shocking."[7]
In December 2016, Al Gore announced that a follow-up to An Inconvenient Truth, An Inconvenient Sequel, would open at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. The film was screened in the Climate section, a new division, for films featuring climate and the environment. The film was theatrically released by Paramount Pictures on July 28, 2017.[8]
In June 2017, the filmmakers told TheWrap that following President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, they would re-edit the film to expand Trump's role as antagonist, before its release.[9]
Release[edit]
An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power grossed $3.5 million in the United States, and $1.7 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $5.2 million, against a production budget of $1 million.[2]
Critical response[edit]
On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 79%, based on 150 reviews, with an average rating of 6.5/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power makes a plea for environmental responsibility that adds a persuasive – albeit arguably less effective – coda to its acclaimed predecessor."[10] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film has a score of 68 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[11]
John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter gave the documentary a positive review, while writing that it is not as effective as the original, saying: "it finds plenty to add, both in cementing the urgency of Gore's message and in finding cause for hope".[12] In Nature, Michael Mann wrote that "[Al Gore]'s up against arguably the most entrenched, wealthy and powerful industry the world has ever known: fossil fuels. [...] This sequel is deliciously inconvenient, and for several reasons. It is inconvenient to the vested interests who had hoped that Gore would just give up. [...] Knowing that Al Gore is still optimistic is a shot in the arm at a time of uncertainty."[13]
Skeptical Inquirer editor Kendrick Frazier writes that Truth to Power spends little time explaining what climate change is, though there are some good summaries, but more time on the effects. Gore goes to a lot of trouble not to allow the movie to be a "downer" and shows what nations and U.S. states have done to fight climate change. Frazier states that a "skilled politician can get things done in ways that scientists can only imagine", and though he would have liked to have seen less Gore talking and more scientists on camera, Frazier writes that the movie is effective.[14]
Conversely, conservative magazine National Review's film critic Kyle Smith called the film misleading, saying that it gave the false impression that recent storm activity (such as 2012's Hurricane Sandy) was more frequent than usual, falsely gave credit to both Gore and the company SolarCity for convincing India to sign the Paris Agreement, exaggerated the importance of the Paris Agreement, and neglected to mention Gore's financial ties to SolarCity.[15] Writing for RogerEbert.com, Nick Allen also gave the film a negative review, specifying: "The documentary follow-up proves to be less about global warming than propping up a hero awkwardly desperate to captivate audiences again like he did eleven years ago. It's like the Zoolander 2 of global warming documentaries."[16]

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power: Your Action Handbook to Learn the Science, Find Your Voice, and Help Solve the Climate Crisis is a book by former Vice President and environmental activist Al Gore, written in conjunction with his 2017 documentary film, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power. The book is a sequel to his 2006 book An Inconvenient Truth, published concurrently with his documentary of the same name. It was published on July 25, 2017 by Rodale Books.[1]
Synopsis
The book is intended to encourage and inform readers on how they can help fight anthropogenic global warming and climate change, and is a more in-depth analysis than the film. The book describes how humans have further damaged the environment since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, and makes more predictions about what will happen in the near future if humans fail to act. The book also describes advancements that have been made so far in the effort against global warming, such as developments in alternative energy sources. The book explores other aspects of the climate crisis, such as climate change denial and the corporate influence of money in politics, and ends by reasoning that it is not too late to solve the crisis.

Davis Guggenheim’s An Inconvenient Truth (2006) was an effective consciousness-raising exercise, focusing on Al Gore’s “slide shows”, as he calls them, on the reality of climate change. Eleven years on, the sequel brings home the intensification of the crisis: needless to say, as the film’s timeline approaches the present, the spectre of Trump looms like an iceberg on a foggy Arctic night. As Gore visits the world’s environmental flashpoints, the footage of floods, storms and exploding glaciers adds ballast to the statistics. There’s a sliver of against-the-clock narrative at the 2015 Paris climate summit, although the film simplifies matters in suggesting that India’s coming on board was the result of Gore making a few well-placed phone calls behind the scenes. Useful as a teaching tool, strictly functional as cinema.
===The follow up to the #1 New York Times bestselling An Inconvenient Truth and companion to Vice President Al Gore’s new documentary, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, this new book is a daring call to action. It exposes the reality of how humankind has aided in the destruction of our planet and delivers hope through groundbreaking information on what you can do now.
Vice President Gore, one of our environmental heroes and a leading expert in climate change, brings together cutting-edge research from top scientists around the world; approximately 200 photographs and illustrations to visually articulate the subject matter; and personal anecdotes and observations to document the fast pace and wide scope of global warming. He presents, with alarming clarity and conclusiveness (and with humor, too) that the fact of global climate change is not in question and that its consequences for the world we live in will be assuredly disastrous if left unchecked.
Follow Vice President Gore around the globe as he tells a story of change in the making. He connects the dots of Zika, flooding, and other natural disasters we’ve lived through in the last 10+ years—and much more.
The book also offers a comprehensive how-to guide on exactly how we can change the course of fate. With concrete, actionable advice on topics ranging from how to run for office to how to talk to your children about climate change, An Inconvenient Sequel will empower you to make a difference—and lets you know how exactly to do it.
Where Gore’s first documentary and book took us through the technical aspects of climate change, the second documentary is a gripping, narrative journey that leaves you filled with hope and the urge to take action immediately. This book captures that same essence and is a must-have for everyone who cares deeply about our planet.

I’m a huge fan of inconvenient truth documentary and all of Al’s work on the climate topic. Mostly everything if not everything he warned about has come true. I just think he is wrong when he says we have made changes for the better when we really haven’t. The climate continues to get worse and at an exponentially greater speed. His book should be more hard hitting. I like Naomi Klein’s books better so far. I am following dozens of climate news accounts on social media. It’s a huge catastrophe that threatens life on earth. I think if you want to be honest- you have to mention the pesticides, herbicides, cancer epidemic, water and air pollution, soil pollution.. and just the basic poisoning of life on earth by big corporations in addition to Big Oil. Politicians can never go against big corporations in America, I guess? No, it’s not suppply and demand- Big Oil removed electric trolleys and vehicles decades ago. This should have been illegal. Anyway- We need more Truths to stop this out of control climate change! Fast!

Great instructional book for students and anyone interested in taking a bigger step into activism or changing personal carbon footprint. My only concern is that the book itself is heavy, so not easy to carry around, and heavy glossy print makes me concerned that it may not have been as ecologically constructed (recycled paper and thinner paper) as I would expect from such a title.

Vice President Gore, one of our environmental heroes and a leading expert in climate change, brings together cutting-edge research from top scientists around the world; approximately 200 photographs and illustrations to visually articulate the subject matter; and personal anecdotes and observations to document the fast pace and wide scope of global warming. He presents, with alarming clarity and conclusiveness (and with humor, too) that the fact of global climate change is not in question and that its consequences for the world we live in will be assuredly disastrous if left unchecked.
Follow Vice President Gore around the globe as he tells a story of change in the making. He connects the dots of Zika, flooding, and other natural disasters we’ve lived through in the last 10+ years—and much more.
The book also offers a comprehensive how-to guide on exactly how we can change the course of fate. With concrete, actionable advice on topics ranging from how to run for office to how to talk to your children about climate change, An Inconvenient Sequel will empower you to make a difference—and lets you know how exactly to do it.
Where Gore’s first documentary and book took us through the technical aspects of climate change, the second documentary is a gripping, narrative journey that leaves you filled with hope and the urge to take action immediately. This book captures that same essence and is a must-have for everyone who cares deeply about our planet.

4.0 out of 5 stars More POWER in Your Truth, Please.

I’m a huge fan of inconvenient truth documentary and all of Al’s work on the climate topic. Mostly everything if not everything he warned about has come true. I just think he is wrong when he says we have made changes for the better when we really haven’t. The climate continues to get worse and at an exponentially greater speed. His book should be more hard hitting. I like Naomi Klein’s books better so far. I am following dozens of climate news accounts on social media. It’s a huge catastrophe that threatens life on earth. I think if you want to be honest- you have to mention the pesticides, herbicides, cancer epidemic, water and air pollution, soil pollution.. and just the basic poisoning of life on earth by big corporations in addition to Big Oil. Politicians can never go against big corporations in America, I guess? No, it’s not suppply and demand- Big Oil removed electric trolleys and vehicles decades ago. This should have been illegal. Anyway- We need more Truths to stop this out of control climate change! Fast!

Great instructional book for students and anyone interested in taking a bigger step into activism or changing personal carbon footprint. My only concern is that the book itself is heavy, so not easy to carry around, and heavy glossy print makes me concerned that it may not have been as ecologically constructed (recycled paper and thinner paper) as I would expect from such a title.

When you watch this important DVD we will realize we are nearly out of time to save our planet. We certainly don' have 3 more years of a government who denies science.

Although the information provided was appropriate, the movie seemed to be more about Al Gore than the message that was attempted to be presented.

A n easy to read, full of graphics and graphs and workable solutions up- date of where we are and what there is to do. Hopeful but not to be ignored.
A real must read book for schools and MPs and everyone who has children, grandchildren or any sense of wanting to leave a planet worth living on for their future reincarnations, or just because they want future generations not to curse them for their deliberate refusal to take action now while there is still[ just] time to make a difference before it IS TOO LATE.

Everyone should read this and see the film. Some reviews have not been great but it's extremely interesting and important. If you feel it's not your thing, have a think about who IS going to save the planet? I think that technology will go a long way, but an important part of the rescue plan has to be that everyone is on board and gets it!
