"'An Inconvenient Truth' took a lot of hits for its aesthetic: too much a "Jobs-esque corporate presentation," too much the "populist science-lite of a viral TED video," graphics so rich and smooth they bordered on "disaster porn," a language that was too "studied in its mixology of bleakness and hope" not to seem manipulative, the title itself had the quality of "NPR's clever Bard-graduate-penned news copy," Gore looked like a "self-help guru or a megachurch preacher." It was all too broad, too appealing, too self-conscious, too capitalist. How, though, do you want a presentation on the end of the world to look?"
