Trivia | The DVD case in which the film is packaged is made from 100% recycled cardboard. See more » |
Goofs | When Al Gore shows the slide of the ice core graph at the beginning of the movie (about 20 minutes in), the numbers on the y-axis are wrong - the average is at 0.5, and the negative numbers are flipped. This graph is correct in the book; the slide is wrong and therefore misleading. See more » |
