"Climate changes. Truth does not."

That's the tagline for An Inconvenient Sequel, the follow-up to Al Gore's 2007 documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

The documentary -- which debuted at Sundance Film Festival -- released its first trailer on Tuesday, and it couldn't be more timely.

President Trump plays a prominent role in the trailer, which dropped on the same day that the president signed an executive order aimed at rolling back the Obama Administration's climate policies.

The order reopens federal lands to coal mining and effectively makes it impossible for the U.S. to meet its goals under the Paris Climate Agreement, which Gore helped advocate for in 2015.

Check out the trailer below:

The sequel debuts in theaters July 28.
