The Great Global Warming Swindle
The documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" has been getting a lot of play on The Drudge Report lately. You can now watch the full documentary on Google Video.
The Swindle documents how the science behind Global Warming is in fact crumbling, and skepticism in the field is growing, which is not indicative of the "consensus" we're always told about. Along the same lines they attack the legitimacy of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, quoting skeptical, but contributing scientists.
I strongly suggest everybody check it out if they've got an hour to spare.
Update: A great companion piece to add some balance to this film is An Inconvenient Truth... Or A Convenient Fiction.

Well, twenty loud dissenters will always be noticed by the media, despite a couple thousand scientists agreeing.
Fact: the climate is changing, and it is anthropogenic.
Beyond the IPCC, I'd check out the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment. Pretty hard to refute. The sea-level rise alone, associated with the melting of glaciers, threatens many places. Most of southern florida. Maybe more crucially, the 17 million people in bangladesh that live only 1m above sea-level. Lots of places will have to relocate. In fact, people in the arctic, communities of thousands, are evacuating -right now-. See the ACIA report for more.
Unrelated note, automakers are making a stink about new fuel emissions standards in the US and Canada being unfeasible. In response a conglomerate of concerned scientist released this open-source design vehicle that exceeds the standards using existing technology - it's opensource so they're welcome to use it. http://www.ucsusa.org/news/press_release/new-vehicle-design-surpasses-0011.html
'When the nerds start spouting doomsday scenarios we are really in trouble.'

Hmm, whats interesting about that vehicle design is that they didn't really put a whole lot of effort into making the vehicle more fuel-efficient, just to emit less.
