More Inconvenience from Al Gore

Al Gore on South Park

If losing the Presidency means winning an Academy Award and A Nobel Peace Prize as consolation, then we should see John McCain on the arms of Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway by January of 2010. Apparently for Al Gore, living proof of karma’s existence, one award-winning documentary wasn’t enough.

From our close friends (and favorite news source of film geeks everywhere) The Hindu News Update Service comes the news that Gore plans on making a sequel to An Inconvenient Truth. Since his first outing didn’t immediately solve all of earth’s problems, I imagine the only plausible title for the sequel should be: No, Seriously, We’re All Going to Die if We Keep Destroying the Planet.

Gore also used the interview as a platform to say that the film raised awareness, that the people of the world still had a long way to go, and that George W. Bush is enemy #1 when it comes to “actively working against the cause”.

I’m really enthusiastic about Gore making another film, but I think he’s missing an obvious solution to the climate crisis:

Have Earth donate a massive amount of funds to the Republican Party and to George W. Bush. If the planet was considered one of Bush’s “Haves and Have Mores”, Bush would be forced to protect its interests and cut its taxes. Because, as we learned earliest this week, all politicians are Ballet-dancing Hitler Robots programmed to save Special Interests like Big Tobacco, Big Pharm, and now, Big Earth.

Plus, it will just be nice to get back to having real documentaries made and highly publicized.

Happy Belated Earth Day, Rejects.

  • This is super serial you guys, stop making jokes.

    But to your suggestion that Earth make a sizeable donation to the Republican party, I don't know. That'll work if the 'Pubs win, but if Barack or Hillary wins they will stop tax breaks to everyone who outsources jobs--and unfortunately "The Earth" falls into that category . . .
  • Mmm, smells like politics in here. Avoiding that, I can hardly consider "An Inconvenient Truth" in line with "real documentaries" considering how much of it is refuted by, you know, science. Its more like a Discovery channel special that is like "WORST CASE SCENARIO EVER." I'm much more interested in the documentaries that get no media attention - the ones that say Global Warming doesnt add up and that Al Gore's conclusions drawn from ice and carbon data are wrong.

    And at least the Republicans aren't telling me I have to abandon my SUV and wipe with only 1 piece of toilet paper and install CFL (lightbulbs) in my house, which are actually full of Mercury, can't be thrown in the regular garbage, and if they break, require (no joke) an evacuation of children, pets, and pregnant women while you clean the area - but you can't use a vacuum, as that throws the mercury into the air!

    How about a documentary on the atmospheric survey which showed absolutely no greenhouse warming in the atmosphere? Seriously, the debate IS over. It just didn't end how Al wanted it to.
