Are you aware of the pedigree of the chap who made that film? He previously made a set of anti-global-warming films, about which the regulator upheld complaints that he deliberately distorted what interviewees said such that they appeared to support his thesis when in fact they opposed it. Furthermore, he appears to have done so again in making this film.

Ben Goldacre, who does the excellent Bad Science column in the Guardian, has written a couple of columns on the program, which you can find online here and here. Now, climatology is far from my specialty, but Dr Goldacre's commentry on science done in areas of my expertise in the past has always been very good, so I'd be inclined to give his comments considerable weight.

The Royal Society, not known for jumping on bandwagons, has a page on the issue, too.

The IPCC's latest summary for policymakers summarised a lot of the evidence on climate change into a short report.
