I showed my class the Great Global Warming Swindle after watching An Inconvenient Truth as an exercise in looking at information critically. After we watched GGWS we looked it up in Wikipedia. We found a list of scientists involved in the film. We randomly looked up info on one of the scientists listed. He belonged to some foundation (can't remember the name). We looked up the foundation. One of its major sponsors was Exon.
It was a good little exercise in checking sources of information and thinking critically about the information presented.
