Al Gore continues giving climate workshops.
AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER
Film Review by Marlene Ardoin
Al Gore proves that he does not need to get the Supreme Court to grant him the presidency. He is recognized as a President, anyway, as far as the rest of the world is concerned.
With his follow-up film, “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power,” he drives home his point of what is happening with some graphic images of changes in our world, proving that his predictions from his first film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” are all coming true.
It has been about ten years since his first film. Gore has gotten grey hair and the world has gotten drastic floods, droughts, melting glaciers and large fish swimming down the streets of Miami at high tide.
The nightmare is coming true. Gore describes recent typhoons delivering water bombs caused by warmer ocean temperatures.
Every day the news is filled with stories of humans suffering the effects of global warming.
Most recently, 500 plus dead in the Sierra Leone mudslides. Masses of humans relocating to new locations because of drought, rising ocean waters, rising temperatures, fires and floods.
In his first film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” Gore makes the statement that China will not buy our automobiles, because the U.S. autos do not meet their environmental standards. That was ten years ago, now China is interested in electric cars.
In “An Inconvenient Sequel,” Gore is seen trying to solve India’s hold out during the 2016 Paris Climate Accord by calling up Solar City. India felt that atomic power was morally needed for their development.
Solar City was not equipped to solve India’s problems, but India did finally relent on April 22, 2016 by signing the agreement in New York.
On August 1, 2016, Tesla announced in a joint statement with Solar City it would be acquiring the company in an all-stock $2.6 billion merger. Elon Musk owns 22% of Solar City stock.
Gore might have offered India several options. How about suggesting hydro power to them.
This documentary shows how Gore has gained recognition and status on the world stage.
A group of Chinese students recognize him on the subway, Canada’s Trudeau greets him at a conference and he can be seen participating in negotiations with other countries.
Gore does not need no stinking presidency, because he cares about clean energy, the world and the future we leave for future generations.
