Actually, it think it is oxymoronic for the ABC to bestow the
appellation "documentary" to a stitch-up job. An example of the
program's misleading presentation is provided at
http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/climate-sceptic-directors-
missing-details/2007/07/13/1183833724424.html .
The program claimed that changes in solar activity were the reason why
the climate was changing. However, the "evidence" it provided was a
graph comparing temperatures to sunspot activity, which happened to end
at 1980. Given that sunspot activity has declined since 1980 while
many of the hottest years on record have occurred since that date, it
is obvious that it is not the cause of the climate change we are
experiencing, a point that the program conveniently ignores.
That the ABC enthusiastically promoted the program says something about
what is going on at the ABC.

There is a panel discussion after the movie, with discussion moving
to the ABC website thereafter.
Should be rather interesting viewing.
