AWFUL! -a waste of time to watch
This was by far & away the worst documentary on Global Warming I've ever seen. No research or evidence is used to support the film's assertions. ...more informative and evidence-based conclusions on Global Warming can be found at any grammer school science fair.

PBS should pull this one off the market. It is a shame!

No Scientific Information Provided
What a waste of money! Both PBS and Ms.Morissette should be ashamed of this product as it has absolutely no scientific evidence to support her position that CO2 is connected with global warming. She presents no facts and provides no scientific evidence. This whole DVD can be summarized into the basic concept-that if you raise the temperature of the atmosphere enough, the polar ice caps will melt! That conclusion goes without saying and is equivalent to concluding that increasing one's thermostat will result in warming the temperature in their house. This `Documentary' would have a lot more value if Ms. Morissette provided some evidence, or provided facts of a cause and effect relationship.

I would recommend the DVD, the Great Global Warming Swindle, as this author actually provides scientific data from an objective point of view which is supported by facts

Alternative to "An Inconvenient Truth"
As a science teacher who specializes in the natural sciences, the topic of Global Warming is (finally) becoming an acceptable topic to introduce. Resistance has usually come from parents who see the teaching of Global Warming as linked to a political statement. Viewing of the film "An Inconvenient Truth" can be... inconvenient. The film "Global Warming: The Signs and Science" is a very nice alternative to anyone else who is facing the same problem. Al Gore's prize will do little to alter the political tag some give his film. The "Signs and Science" video lives up to its title. I found it well done, and I especially liked that they included information on the "global conveyor" into the film.
