I found
this article on the CNS news service about the inaccuracies in Academy Award Winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." I've been looked for a good summary about what is inaccurate and this looks to be it.
One of the claims in the movie is that Polar bears are dying off because they have to swim so much farther to find food. Well it turns out that this claim is based on a U. S. Minerals Management Service report that found 4 dead polar bears after a severe storm. According to the report, the bears
"are believed to have drowned as a result of the storm."
The claim about sea levels rising 20ft (their not, more likely 1.5 feet) is also addressed. Check it out.
