Al Gore announced today that he will make a sequel to the Academy Award winning film An Inconvenient Truth.
The former US Vice President said: "I will make a sequel to the 2006 documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' and despite earths 'rising fever', I am hopeful for a happy ending".
One can only imagine the impact that this film will have on framing the issue since ICT was released in 2006. But this time it appears that the once-and-future President's goal, now that public opinion has firmly shifted in favor of action, is to expand the majorities of the world citizens who are demanding action and to persuade policy makers that the time for action is now.
"But the situation has got worse. The entire North Polar ice cap is melting and could be gone in some areas in as little as five years," he said.
He warned that individual efforts such as changing to low energy lightbulks are important, it is more significant for world leaders to change laws to stop pollution pouring into the atmosphere and affecting the climate.
Gore said that still far too many people are not paying attention, and that even some of those who are paying attention are vastly underestimating the scope of the problem. Apparently, he also stated -- echoing the comments made by Senator Barrack Obama, that no person still running for president could be worse than DumDum (er, I mean GWB) on this issue.
Note to HRC: Gore (and Obama) are correct on this point. Virtually no one of real national stature could be any worse than DumDum on this -- or a host of other issues.
Good news all around: the movie studios should be clamoring to release this film.
