The movie has been seriously critiqued by a number of climate scientists. Given the strong feelings all around, I don't want to vouch for the following, but they do provide interesting counter-perspectives:
http://www.medialens.org/alerts/07/0313pure_propaganda_the.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle One thing that jumps out in reading these and then reading about the scientists who contributed is that the film focused on climate change skeptics (which appear to be decreasing in number over time). It is far from balanced reporting of the science of climate change. - BC

'Documentary' is a better way of describing it.
George Monbiot demolishes it at www.Monbiot.com. By the by, Monbiot's book, 'Heat', is now out in paperback in the US. In it, he offers a practical program for adressing climate change. I recommend 'Heat' very highly. ********************************************************************************* Peter D.
