The film, made by British television producer Martin Durkin, presents scientists, economists, politicians, writers, and others who dispute the scientific consensus regarding anthropogenic global warming.
The film's basic premise is that the current scientific opinion on the anthropogenic causes of global warming has numerous scientific flaws, and that vested monetary interests in the scientific establishment and the media discourage the public and the scientific community from acknowledging or even debating this. The film asserts that the publicised scientific consensus is the product of a "global warming activist industry" driven by a desire for research funding. Other culprits, according to the film, are Western environmentalists promoting expensive solar and wind power over cheap fossil fuels in Africa, resulting in African countries being held back from industrialising.
The film won best documentary at the 2007 Io Isabella International Film Week.
A number of academics, environmentalists, think-tank consultants and writers are interviewed in the film in support of its various assertions. They include the Canadian environmentalist Patrick Moore, former member of Greenpeace but for the past 21 years a critic of the organisation; Richard Lindzen, professor of meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Patrick Michaels, Research Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia; Nigel Calder, editor of New Scientist from 1962 to 1966; John Christy, professor and director of the Earth System Science Center at University of Alabama; Paul Reiter of the Pasteur Institute; former British Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson; and Piers Corbyn, a British weather forecaster.
Carl Wunsch, professor of oceanography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was also interviewed but has since said that he strongly disagrees with the film's conclusions and the way his interview material was used.

To celebrate earth day, I'm going to turn on all my lights, run my washer and dryer, both empty, leave my fridge open, idle all of my SUVs in the driveway, idle my tractor, run my AC and Furnace full blast and simultaneously, and go out and then shoot some rabbits. Hey, just my way of honoring the earth.
You should just see some of the replies I get from concerned earth-lovers. :)
Doops, I meant ‘earth day’ videos.
Great documentary! I’ve seen it numerous times.
I finally watched the Gorical Movie last year and had a nice after dinner watch of Swindle after it = laughed my butt off at the great AlGore - I knew his movie was pathetic but never realized how much so until I actually watched it (everyone should - free online somewhere- it’s out there)
I knew it
Don't lie about your links.
Youtu.be is owned by Google and YouTube and is a URL shortner for YouTube videos. It is just like Tinyurl.

I finally watched it (Gore’s film) and literally could not resist laughing as I watched it. It’s certainly not professional, at least as I have understood professional to mean documentaries. I mean, including clips the Simpsons? I thought that was meant for prime time laughs!
I resisted watching Gore’s film for so long, but I’m happy I finally sat down and watched the darn thing - what a pathetic joke that doc. is...it won an Academy Award (jumped the shark-for good) and a Nobel Peace Prize (jumped the shark-for good)
Easter is coming up and if anyone here will be having their wacked out liberal environ-weenie relatives over for dinner - the best thing to do is watch “Inconvenient Truth” before dinner and then watch “Great Global Warming Swindle” after dinner.
Be fair and balanced - and all that :>)
For a side project you can have an egg coloring station where everyone paints the eggs to look like the earth *snicker*
