I absolutely loved this documentary! I feel as though Gore went about discussing such a controversial topic in the most appropriate way possible. His use of statistical and scientific information show how credible and legitimate Gore is in presenting the facts. He also continuously using minor comedy throughout the film to lighten the mood, yet does so in a way that does not lessen the validity of his argument. His side-segments about his life in politics and his life in general really help to drive Gore's central message home. How he relates his son's accident to the environmental cause was extremely effective in emotionally showing how relevant this issue is to all people.
Gore is weary of skeptics and therefore uses undeniable, scientific facts to increase his credibility as well as the legitimacy of the documentary. Many viewers can find these graphs and stats all very boring but this really was the best way for Gore to get his message across. He is weary of being seen as a pushy-environmentalist because this would really take away from the credibility of the movie. Gore doesn't necessarily care about the view of himself, as it is more about not taking away from the movie's important message.
