An Inconvenient Truth
A small number of reviews criticized the film on scientific and political grounds. Journalist Ronald Bailey argued in the libertarian magazine "Reason" that although "Gore gets [the science] more right than wrong," he exaggerates the risks. MIT atmospheric physicist Richard S. Lindzen was vocally critical of the film, writing in a June 26, 2006 op-ed in the "Wall Street Journal" that Gore was using a biased presentation to exploit the fears of the public for his own political gain.

A few other reviewers were also skeptical of Gore's intent, wondering whether he was setting himself for another Presidential run. "Boston Globe" writer Peter Canello criticized the "gauzy biographical material that seems to have been culled from old Gore campaign commercials."
Phil Hall of "Film Threat" gave the film a negative review, saying ""An Inconvenient Truth" is something you rarely see in movies today: a blatant intellectual fraud."
