Click here for reuse options!Former Vice President Al Gore’s 2006 award-winning climate change documentary is getting a sequel that will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The follow-up flick will focus on the world’s current climate crisis more than 10 years after Gore worked to raise awareness about global warming with the original film.

In ten years he will be able to do another one also, ‘An Inconvenient Disaster’.

This is an excellent opportunity, illustrating global scientific certainty. Vs USA’s faux news delusions. Every year since 1977 is globally warmer than the 20th century average.
Earth is now +2°F above the 20th century average. And it’s only 2016. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0ea58000850b8f4c4667cd23647893a56681b6b29c54ffc243fb8b9daba88318.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/05a2bc9d5a9a4fd5f2f6206a0794d1f3891dee3764d4f80652a0e0cbc87cab7e.png

NO “actual data – just right-wing, highly biased websites and blogs.”-Snopes confirms you remain fooled by Faux news Greedy Oil Polluters.
“The status of polar bear populations has been assessed at both national and international level, and 7 of 19 of the World’s polar bear sub-populations are found to be declining in number, with trends in two linked to reductions in sea ice.”-Biodiversity – Status and Trends of Polar Bears (2014) http://www.polarbearsinternational.org/status-and-threats/polar-bear-status-report

I’m glad you think the devastation of the planet is so funny.

But the most important point is that whatever happened in the past is really irrelevant. Polar bear habitat is disappearing due to global warming. Even the most careful on-the-ground management doesn’t matter if polar bears don’t have the required habitat.

Bet ya he thinks “Red Dawn” is a documentary.

Alaotra grebe
Western black rhinoceros
Japanese river otter
Formosan clouded leopard
Bermuda saw-whet owl
5 species extinct since 2010.
Oh, and your FIRST number is questionable and not put forth by ACTUAL count, but by a vague guesstimate. The 2nd number is ALSO a guesstimate. The best recent guesstimate is about 26,000.
So your point is based on GUESSES and so your CONCLUSION is a guess.
“At their 2014 meeting, the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group, reported that of the 19 populations of polar bears:
3 are declining
6 are stable
1 is increasing
9 have insufficient data”
Almost 50% of the polar bear populations don’t have enough data to tell if they are stable, increasing, or decreasing. Or, to put it another way, THEY DON’T FRIGGIN’ KNOW!
But then, facts and figures and actual data are not what you work with, amiright?

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Many people seem to be focusing so intently on climate change that they fail to recognize other causes of problems. For example, when was the last time that US media outlets carried a story about bushmeat hunting?
According to an October article in the UK newspaper, The Guardian:
World’s mammals being eaten into extinction, report warns. First global assessment finds 301 species are primarily at risk from human hunting for the bushmeat trade.
The 301 species include 168 primates, such as the lowland gorilla and mandrill, 73 hoofed animals, such as the wild yak and bactrian camel, 27 bats, such as the golden-capped fruit bat and the black-bearded flying fox, and 12 carnivores, such as the clouded leopard and several bear species.
The scale of the global bushmeat trade is difficult to measure but, in 2011, the Center for International Forestry Research estimated 6m tonnes of animals were taken each year. Another estimate indicates 89,000 tonnes of meat, worth $200m, is taken every year from the Brazilian Amazon. The meat is also smuggled abroad, with 260 tonnes of wild meat per year estimated to be hidden in personal baggage at just one European airport, Paris Charles de Gaulle.

And I have to answer for how “sexy” news media finds bushmeat stories?
From the WWF –
Just to illustrate the degree of biodiversity loss we’re facing, let’s take you through one scientific analysis…
The rapid loss of species we are seeing today is estimated by experts to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate.*
These experts calculate that between 0.01 and 0.1% of all species will become extinct each year.
If the low estimate of the number of species out there is true – i.e. that there are around 2 million different species on our planet** – then that means between 200 and 2,000 extinctions occur every year.
But if the upper estimate of species numbers is true – that there are 100 million different species co-existing with us on our planet – then between 10,000 and 100,000 species are becoming extinct each year
So it’s not true that nobody pays attention to anthropogenic causes other than climate change. But species loss is NOT the only consequence of climate change. Just how much does illegal bushmeat sales impact rising sea levels? Extreme weather? Drought? Ocean acidification?

Is climate change a cause, or an effect? One could make a strong argument that increasing CO2 emissions are a consequence of rising population levels and rising standards of living. Sure, we can find cleaner sources of energy. But there are practical limits to how quickly we can make the transition, and population levels are rising rapidly. If we focus only on CO2 without also focusing on population, then we’re only dealing with part of the problem. The Left has been saying a lot of good things about the Pope lately, but what has he done to encourage family planning? And if we’re concerned about species extinction, then we can’t ignore the bushmeat issue because it is a big part of the problem. I think the public has a perception that climate change is the single cause of many environmental issues, when in fact there are many causes. For example, in Norfolk VA, residential land is being flooded more frequently not only because of rising sea levels, but also because of land subsidence due to extracting too much groundwater.

When did you get the impression that people only worried about CO2?
I remember hearing about population control for the benefit of the planet for 50 YEARS! I’ve heard about deforestation for 40 YEARS! I have heard about human pollution and chemical use and insecticide use for OVER 50 YEARS.
If you have only heard CO2 stories, then the onus is on YOU. I’ve been hearing about your complaints (non-CO2 complaints) for most of my adult life. If you haven’t, it’s not because nobody worried about it or talked about it or wrote about it or studied it….
CO2 is one of the MOST immediately consequential contributors to climate change. But to characterize everything ELSE that contributes as being ignored is just not factual. They ARE being addressed. To give you an analogy, when the forest fire comes to your doorstep, do you spend the majority of your time discussing how to deal with flash-flooding? When you are bleeding to death, how much worry do you feel about septicemia?
