The filmmakers examine how and why oil companies and other special-interest groups cast doubt on climate change and stall efforts to combat it.

Critics Consensus

It's not particularly subtle, but Greedy Lying Bastards is effective in questioning the motives of climate change deniers.

4/5

It is a splenetic, satiric attack on the formidable PR forces, spurious thinktanks and talking heads being mobilised in the US to attack the idea of man-made global warming.

There's something refreshing about a film that's willing to name names.

There's precious little 'exposed' in Greedy Lying Bastards that hasn't already been thoroughly examined in previous, vastly superior docs

If ever a documentary needed Michael Moore's ability to debunk the rich and powerful in his inimitable sardonic style, it's here.

A fair documentary which exposes the issues. But I'm afraid there are better. I found it to dwell too long on examples rather than exploring facts. And I'm afraid, as other have said, I didn't enjoy the narration.

I liked the doc. but the voice over/narrator's voice is too effeminate, in my opinion. Someone else being hired to present more dulcet tones would have helped this.

Anything that Christofascist Republicans don't want people to know about or talking about is something that is obviously worth seeing and talking about.
