There's a fascinating interview with its producer Martin Durkin here which I would recommend watching.

An interesting choice of sections to post this question.
Forget Monty Python, half an hour of Durkin squirming under pressure is far better entertainment.
Here's a link to the debate that followed the Durkin interview - it's about an hour long in all and in 10 minutes sections - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goDsc9IaSQ8 (sadly Durkin wasn't part of the interview panel).

Global Warming got you all heated up. Well my friend you need the New and Improved Al Gore Ice Age, just for men.
This revolutionary new treatment disregards millions of years of prior global warming and ice ages, and puts man at the center. Yes, you to, can be a part of the Al Gore Warming Trend, (just for men), become the Man that actually is the center of the universe that you always wanted to be in just seconds.

Re:Libsticker-Disregarding data? If you would watch the link, ironically, that's exactly what the guy denying GW did.
I did feel kinda sorry for him when he starting squirming when he couldn't defend his chart lacking 17 years worth of info. But then, I got over it. Especially when he started acting angry.
It was a little surprising to see someone actually say all the scientists who claim GW are pulling a con job.

Yeah, it was great. Proves Al Gore lied on every issue.
Most scientists agree that man-made global warming is a hoax.
I'll side with science.

While people like that hide their heads in the sand denying global warming, all the big shipping companies are planning their new Artic shipping routes.

repubs disagree with the national academy of sciences and the intergovernmental panel of climate scientists. they say global warming is not a swindle and it is mostly caused by human activity.

hey did you hear about the great northwest passage? its no longer a myth, enough ice has melted to allow safe shipping from Europe to Asia via this passage.
I'm sure its just a hoax though, right?
looks like Travolta has you nailed to the wall on this one, so sorry buddy, time to throw out the real junk science.

Here's a fascinating new scientific study that debunks all their amateur claims.
'No Sun link' to climate change
By Richard Black
BBC Environment Correspondent
Scientists have been measuring the frequency of solar flares
A new scientific study concludes that changes in the Sun's output cannot be causing modern-day climate change.
Dr Lockwood initiated the study partially in response to the TV documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle, broadcast on Britain's Channel Four earlier this year, which featured the cosmic ray hypothesis.
"All the graphs they showed stopped in about 1980, and I knew why, because things diverged after that," he told the BBC News website.
"You can't just ignore bits of data that you don't like," he said.

I think it is, at least, thought provoking. After seeing both this and Al Gore's movie, I think the truth, as always, is probably somewhere in the middle

I sure wish I could have figured out some way to profit off of the imbeciles who have been willing to throw $1000's of dollars at it. Al Gore & The Sierra Club have made millions!
EDIT:
I acknowledge that global warming is real and we should do what we can (within common sense limits) to slow it. But, I am still not convinced that humans are to blame for the majority of it.
This doesn't change the fact that I sure wish I could have figured out some way to profit off of the imbeciles who have been willing to throw $1000's of dollars at it.
