An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power is a hugely effective lecture.

Would I still recommend "An Inconvenient Sequel"? Sure, although I doubt there is much one could glean from this movie that couldn't be obtained by rewatching "An Inconvenient Truth."

For those of us who need no convincing of the truth of man-made climate change, but find the problem too paralyzingly abstract, Gore's workmanlike methods are both fascinating, encouraging, and, yes, even a little exciting.

Gore is seen on the phone and in meetings with various figures, pushing toward a goal of saving the planet. "The Avengers" do it with intergalactic battles, Gore does it with an iPhone and a global travel itinerary.

There's more doom and gloom - but also hope for meaningful change - to be found in Al Gore's followup to his Oscar-blessed 2006 doc that sounded the alarm about global warming.

Some might see the film as lionizing Gore, but it's a fascinating primer on how to engage and train citizen activists, from the grass roots to the corridors of power.

Regardless of some of the arguments that Cohen, Shenk, and Gore can't seem to zero in on, An Inconvenient Sequel is a documentary that everyone needs to see.

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power makes some important observations but its power isn't as strong as the original.

Al Gore... launches a series of new ideas that although hopefully much more than an uncomfortable truth, also make it clear that the road is far from over. [Full review in Spanish]

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power" is another lesson that we need to keep being reminded of about climate change.

This is essentially a training video, calling viewers to activism with the slogan: 'If our leaders refuse to lead, our citizens will.' If we could only plug our grid into Gore, we'd have an inexhaustible supply of renewable energy.

An Inconvenient Sequel... suffers from a surfeit of Gore, a lack of objectivity and a notable tardiness in making it to the big screen.
