Whatever arguments you can come up with (i.e. dishonest, bad science, bad for America, bad for the world, etc.). Best argument for which film is worse gets 10 points.

That is a tough call. Both are based on poor science: incorrect assumptions, poor analysis, and come to invalid conclusions. Most of Loose Change has been shown to be invalid and has been dismissed by the majority of scientists. The same is true for the Great Global Warming Swindle.
Personally, it is too close to call.

Loose Change brings up very good questions, but it's a little heavy on the bias. It's not objective enough, and just oozes with young and angry-at-the-government resentment. It goes too far in blatantly pointing the finger at the 9/11 perpetrators, rather than not touching the "who did it" part of the 9/11 conspiracy. Needs to be redone and reedited. They need to get a different person to narrate it as well.
Great Global Warming Swindle actually is a good film- it brings up many of the points that I wish Global Warming supporters would realize, about earth's cycles and really the % contribution of greenhouse gases we humans produce. It's a great film that debunks a lot of the misconceptions about Global Warming, but it too is very biased in not fessing up to the fact that we do contribute to global warming. We are not the main cause as many people think, but we DO contribute to it. My only argument is that it doesn't talk about just how much we DO contribute or what we should do about it. I just got the sense that the filmmakers wanted people to watch it and think "Well, that's great to know that we don't have to worry about it! Whew!" ... when in fact, it does deserve scrutinizing.
Loose Change is a worse film.

As I'm sure you realize, neither film is a valid "documentary." Both are filled with bias and deception. I believe Al Gore's film has more verifiable truth than Loosechange - and, for the most part, it didn't use out of context quotes, unreliable sources and out right lies to push it's agenda. Both films, however, definitely used cherry picked facts that supported their agenda and neither presented any balanced, opposing arguments.
I personally will have to give Al Gore's film the fickle-finger award because I believe Loosechange was pretty much dismissed for what it was - while Gore's film is going to cost all of us plenty before the smoke settles.
I have to end now because it's time to check my carbon footprint.

Since Lose Change brings up the questions that all Americans should have embedded in their hearts and minds as Americans I would say it is the better movie, especially when compared to a movie that is nothing more than outright lies to trick the uneducated.

The swindle. People are gonna get rich selling 'green', and not what you roll up either. Man is a marginal contributor but not to the extent that natural phenomenon is. This movie is bad because of it's naive(tay).
Loose change is just what the perpetrators of 9/11 picked up. Chaos is a man made phenomenon and this movie merely conveys this fact. This movie is not near as bad because of the average American's naive(tay).

I think the video of Bush sucking off Osama Bin Ladin is the most damaging of all
