explain how it's inaccurate...
The science behind the thoeries used in this film are questionable, and very much up for debate. Gore is a genius for jumping on the environmental bandwagon. His timing was a bulls-eye. The issue is very important and it's a positive sign to see it at the forefront of American culture right now. However, the underlying purpose of the film was to use scare tactics to jolt Americans into the reality of the situation. Why else would they invite a politcal figure such as Al Gore to narrate and be a spokesperson?
Scare tactics are not useful educational tools.
The interesting part about this films (and the science presented) critics are that they are not Americans, but rather Europeans, Asians, etc.
....and if the shoe fits...

Propaganda is a specific type of message presentation aimed at serving an agenda. At its root, the denotation of propaganda is 'to propagate (actively spread) a philosophy or point of view'. The most common use of the term (historically) is in political contexts; in particular to refer to certain efforts sponsored by governments or political groups.
