Brief Episode

First the “hottest year in history” came under fire by Canadian climate critic Steve McIntyre — now the British are coming to critique Gore!

The British government decided to give copies of An Inconvenient Truth to British schools and give screenings to students.

According to the Guardian:

“Stewart Dimmock, a school governor and father from Kent, is seeking a judicial review of the decision, claiming it is unlawful. “

Dimmock told the BBC:

“I wish my children to have the best education possible, free from bias and political spin, and Mr Gore’s film falls far short of the standard required.

“Climate change is important, but it should be taught to children in a neutral and measured manner. Indoctrinating school children in this manner is unprecedented and unacceptable.

Dimmock maintains that about half of the film has scientific material, but that 30% is purely political and 20% is ” sentimental mush” meant to persuade the viewer.

So Gore is finding out an inconvenient truth called British stiff upper lip.

Paul Downs, Dimmock’s attorney in Britain’s High Court, “Given the serious inaccuracies in the film and the misrepresentations it contains, the film is irredeemable.”

I’ll be watching the developments.
