I'm glad to hear that, because saying that a UK court "has even proved it to be misleading" is false. Justice Burton's written judgment was released on 10 October 2007 and he found that the film, and I quote,
"is substantially founded upon scientific research and fact, albeit that the science is used, in the hands of a talented politician and communicator, to make a political statement and to support a political programme." Political statement being that the current Bush administration is actively engaged in blocking and downplaying attempts to potentially solve the crisis and lessen our dependence on foreign oil and old technology.
So, based on fact. Scientific data. Evidence. Ergo, not misleading.
