    About this audiobook

    Fresh off the heels of a successful debut at the Sundance Film Festival, Al Gore’s follow-up to his eye-opening blockbuster An Inconvenient Truth comes at a time when climate change is a daily headline and audiences are more eager than ever to act on behalf of the planet.

    “We’re going to win this…If anybody doubts that we have the capacity and the will to act, just remember that the will to act is itself a renewable resource.” —Al Gore

    Al Gore has been advocating on Earth’s behalf for twenty-five years. In An Inconvenient Sequel he recounts and contextualizes the critical issues and moments in the climate change movement since the release of An Inconvenient Truth more than ten years ago, and highlights the real solutions we have at hand to change the planet for the better.

    Editor's Note

    Getting out of a crisis…

    While Gore’s sequel to “An Inconvenient Truth” is certainly advocating greater action to ward off the most dangerous side effects of our warming planet, it’s not a death knell. As Gore puts it: “Despair, after all, is simply another form of denial, and can serve to paralyze the will we need to fight our way out of this crisis.”

      Well presented with photographs, data, charts, and short stories. Very engaging and accessible by all ages.
    • 5/5
      In Gore's earlier "Inconvenient Truth", he laid out the evidence of climate change, the models of where the trend would go, and the historical relationship between CO2 and temperature. In this book, "An Inconvenient Sequel", he has added 13 more years worth of data which shows the climate forecasts at the time of the earlier book, was correct but that it looks like it was a little mild now based on the CO2 levels we are now at. So , now we expect a greater and faster climate change.This book (and movie), has a different goal. Now that 99 percent of climate scientists back this model and forecast, Gore shows how the public can help to advance and reinforce the changes needed to avoid the worst of the forecast, by beginning the drop in emitted CO2 that is necessary.For this reason, the last third of the book details how we as individuals can facilitate the changes needed so our kids and grandkids will not face the worst of the outcomes of the already begun climate change.
