However, the underlying purpose of the film was to use scare tactics to jolt Americans into the reality of the situation.
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 just to add to this.....
Quote:
Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention."
Carter does not pull his punches about Gore's activism, "The man is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science."

I dont know who is right and who is wrong on the overall topic of global warming, but I do know that false and misleading information helps no one to come to an agreement.
