"A convenient fraud now being exposed [2007]

A WORD of advice to the many teachers who have been scaring our children
with screenings of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.

Be aware that a judge this month instructed British teachers showing the
film to tell their pupils that Gore makes at least 11 false or
unsupported claims.

I hate to think it is necessary to remind our own teachers to do
likewise, but I fear the worst.

Every school in the country has now been offered free DVDs of An
Inconvenient Truth, by Paramount and Jackgreen International, which
makes money from the global warming scare. Even the Environment
Protection Authority is urging schools to show it.

And, indeed, with our pop stars lip-synching green platitudes and polls
showing Australians are more panicked by global warming than people of
almost any other country, it seems all this propaganda is working
brilliantly already.

In Britain, though, teachers are at least required to be more careful
before force-feeding such hype to children. The Education Act bans the
teaching of partisan *political* views and demands politics be taught in
a balanced way, which would be a novel approach in some of our own schools.

So, when Stewart Dimmock, a truck driver and school governor from Kent,
heard that Britain's Labour Government was sending copies of Gore's film
to more than 3800 schools he sued. "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," said the father of two.

What followed was three days of argument in the English High Court on
just how truthful Gore's Academy Award-winning film really was.

Justice Michael Burton is yet to give his final ruling, but has already
said the film promotes "partisan political views" and schools must warn
students of that.

Worse for Gore's reputation, Burton also said the Government had to
rewrite the guidance notes for teachers that accompany the film to point
out that An Inconvenient Truth contained 11 serious untruths or
unsubstantiated claims. Only then could it be shown in class.

.....

What madness took hold even of our scientists, that the CSIRO could
claim of this deceitful film, "its scientific basis is very sound"?

Children, you are being told untruths to scare you. And shame on those
who are party to this deceit".

Shocking, isn't it?

BTW, is there a list of all the mistakes?
