Thesis Statement: An Inconvenient Truth focuses more on appealing to people’s logos through facts and photographic evidence while also making strong pathetic examples. Peter Kalmus uses a pathetic appeal to reach his audience but struggles to make an impact due to a lack of a significant kairotic moment.
