YMMV / An Inconvenient Truth

• Nightmare Fuel: Some of the implications of global warming discussed in the film are legitimately frightening. The time lapse of worldwide flooding destroying coastal cities? The graph showing how much CO₂ below the line equalled "a mile of ice over our heads", and then how much above the line we are now, and the projected level getting higher and higher until it was over twice as high as the ice age level was low? The calm, simplistic way in which this is all presented makes it even more chilling than if they had made a high-budget dramatization and played melodramatic music.
• Parody Displacement: The average media consumer is likely to be more familiar with South Park's parody of the documentary from the episode "ManBearPig" than the actual documentary.
