Channel 4 has won the terrestrial television rights to show Al Gore's Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth.
The broadcaster beat the BBC to the rights, as part of a movie package deal with US studio Paramount.
The movie was a box office success last year and took the documentary Academy Award at the Oscars on Sunday night.
Channel 4 told The Guardian the earliest it would air the documentary was 2008.
Gore's user-generated-channel, Current TV, is to launch on the Virgin Media platform next month.
Elsehwhere, the former US Vice-President has today been accused of hypocrisy by the Tennessee Centre For Policy Research, which said that Gore's house in Nashville devoured more than 20 times the US national average in 2006.
