Global warming -- er, climate change -- er, weather alarmist Al Gore's follow-up to his lucrative documentary An Inconvenient Truth, lazily titled An Inconvenient Sequel, suffered a box office catastrophe on its opening weekend, ranking a mere 15th among the weekend's films.

This, despite Gore urging his fans among climate change cultists to pack movie theaters in order to send a message: “By filling theaters, we can show Donald Trump and the other climate deniers in the White House that the American people are committed to climate action –– no matter what they do, say, or tweet!” Gore wrote in an email last Friday, the day of the film's nationwide opening, as reported at ClimateDepot.com.

Gore’s defenders leapt to blame Paramount Pictures for the film's tepid performance. In “Al Gore Gets Ripped Off Again” at the Washington Monthly, D.R. Tucker wrote that "Paramount apparently couldn’t be bothered to aggressively promote An Inconvenient Sequel as the movie Trump and [Republican EPA adminstrator] Scott Pruitt didn’t want you to see–and giving American audiences a decent chance to see it."

“This was not supposed to happen,” Tucker wrote, adding, “he should have demanded a recount.”

You know what else was not supposed to happen? Gore's failed predictions from his first film. Now that is an inconvenient truth.

“Sadly, the box-office under-performance of An Inconvenient Sequel will be seized upon by climate-change deniers as ‘proof’ that Americans don’t really care about this issue,” Tucker wrote. Yes, because we don't.
