Nature. Politics. Science. Nonfiction. HTML:A New York Times bestseller!
The follow up to the #1 New York Times bestselling An Inconvenient Truth and companion to Vice President Al Gore's new documentary, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, this new book is a daring call to action. It exposes the reality of how humankind has aided in the destruction of our planet and delivers hope through groundbreaking information on what you can do now.
Vice President Gore, one of our environmental heroes and a leading expert in climate change, brings together cutting-edge research from top scientists around the world; approximately 200 photographs and illustrations to visually articulate the subject matter; and personal anecdotes and observations to document the fast pace and wide scope of global warming. He presents, with alarming clarity and conclusiveness (and with humor, too) that the fact of global climate change is not in question and that its consequences for the world we live in will be assuredly disastrous if left unchecked.
Follow Vice President Gore around the globe as he tells a story of change in the making. He connects the dots of Zika, flooding, and other natural disasters we've lived through in the last 10+ yearsâ??and much more.
The book also offers a comprehensive how-to guide on exactly how we can change the course of fate. With concrete, actionable advice on topics ranging from how to run for office to how to talk to your children about climate change, An Inconvenient Sequel will empower you to make a differenceâ??and lets you know how exactly to do it.
Where Gore's first documentary and book took us through the technical aspects of climate change, the second documentary is a gripping, narrative journey that leaves you filled with hope and the urge to take action immediately. This book captures that same essence and is a must-have for everyone who cares deeply about our p

A helpful little book on how to be a climate activist. Al Gore has taken a lot of undeserved crap from the wingnuts for his stand on climate change. Al is right and the wingnuts are wrong. The climate is warming dangerously and we need to do something. An Inconvenient Sequel features a number of people who are doing something. Some of these folks I am already following. One is John Cook who is a professor at the University of Queensland in Australia. Cook was one of the people who studied how deception, confusion and misinformation has been spread by the traditional fossil fuel industries. Dr. Cook was the lead teacher in the EdX course Climate Denial. Other climate activist leaders from around the world are also introduced and courses of action are suggested. There are a lot of charts and graphics. Unfortunately the charts are hard to read in the Kindle edition but there are many other sources of information on the web suggested with links. All in all I would declare that Vice-President Gores book is worth reading. ( )

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. ( )
