If the British High court can see this, why can't the American people?

Question

British High Court judge Michael Burton ruled Wednesday Gore's documentary should be shown in British schools only with guidance notes to prevent political indoctrination. The decision followed a lawsuit by a father, Stewart Dimmock, who claimed the film contained "serious scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush."

Dimmock took the British government to court after then-Environment Secretary David Miliband launched a plan to send "An Inconvenient Truth" to all British schools, announcing the scientific debate over man-made global warming "is over."

The judge, however, sided with Dimmock, who alleged the documentary breached the Education Act of 1996 by portraying "partisan political views."

The court ruled the Guidance Notes to Teachers must make clear that:

* The film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument.

*

* If teachers present the film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination.

* Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children.

The inaccuracies, according to the court, are:

1. The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government's expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.

2. The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years. The court found that the film was misleading: Over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.

3. The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming. The Government's expert had to accept that it was "not possible" to attribute one-off events to global warming.

The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming. The Government's expert had to accept that this was not the case.

The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice. It turned out that Mr. Gore had misread the study: In fact four polar bears drowned, and this was because of a particularly violent storm.

The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream, throwing Europe into an ice age: The Claimant's evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.

The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching. The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.

The film suggests that the Greenland ice covering could melt, causing sea levels to rise dangerously. The evidence is that Greenland will not melt for millennia.

The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting; the evidence was that it is in fact increasing.

The film suggests that sea levels could rise by seven meters, causing the displacement of millions of people. In fact, the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40 centimeters over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.

The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand. The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.

I find it very funny, that with all the other ALGORE questions, sheeple choose not to answer this one....

What I find funnier is that one gets accused of "Hate" for posting facts....

Answer 1

-Environment Secretary David Miliband is an Zionist jew who is prompting the man caused global warning hoax on behalf of the Rothschilds who use it to get people to consent to their own repression.

Answer 2

The spin on this has been shameless.

The judge actually mostly supported the movie with respect to it's main points (global warming is real, mostly caused by us, serious threat), and its' quality. He rejected much of Dimmock's claim, and denied the request that the film be banned. Details below.

Read the full decision:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.global-warming/msg/87ffb8db671bf175?

The plaintiffs asked that the film be banned. The judge denied that request, saying.

"The following is clear: i) [the movie] is substantially founded upon scientific research"

"[that global warming is mostly due to man, is dangerous, and can be fixed by man], are all supported by a vast quantity of research"

"I have no doubt that Dr Stott is right "Al Gore's presentation of the causes and likely effects of climate change in the film was broadly accurate."

"It is clear that the Defendant understandably formed the view that AIT was an outstanding film"

There were some relatively minor points the judge found inadequate proof for (not that they were wrong), and so he ordered that an appropriate statement be made. That's all.

Scientists agree.

Answer 3

That movie could not be shown in any colleges. i'd not like my toddler gazing a movie about creationism in public college any more desirable than i could some crack pot pretend theories that do not something yet frighten them about easily a non existent Bogey guy. Britain has taken a step contained in the right route, yet Al Gore says the action picture "Love tale" changed into in holding with him so, do not assume any apologies from Captain Ego.

Answer 4

Maybe it is partisan, but the message is not. Personally I really don't care that much, there really is no way to stop global warming now at this point.

Canada should come out of this pretty good and if you guys in the UK need some furnaces when it hits -30-50C like it does at the same latitude in northern Canada we will be happy to sell you some.

Answer 5

Maybe because the American know better than to trust the government experts....talk about sheeple...good grief of course the government experts aren't going to find any human correlations to global warming.

And I'm just really curious why folks like yourself are so passionate in trying to disprove Global Warming. Personally, I have too many other worries in my life to devote time to proving or disproving Global Warming.

Answer 6

Are you so full of hate that you cannot see that Gore got the Nobel Prize for his 'message', not for the content of 'An Inconvenient Truth'?

Anyway, I find it very hard to believe that the same people who always find ways to denigrate the British, now hold the view of a BRITISH judge as 'gospel'.
Total hypocrisy, and political opportunism, if you ask me.
But that's what happens when the ship is sinking, doesn't it?

Go, Al!
Go, Hillary!

Answer 7

Cognitive Dissociation. The film teerers on the edge of that category. It's an attempt to break the bond between care-givers (parents) and the subject (children) in order to reshape the subjects thought processes in order that they become the authority figure in the subjects life rather than the parents.

During the peak of the Cold War it was called Brain Washing.

Answer 8

I went to a public middle school in New York City, and the whole school was gathered in the auditorium to watch this documentary. We did not need permission slips, the school just showed this movie to us all.

Answer 9

Cause are Justices don't have those little cute head covers that are really aluminum lined armadillo shells that keep the Liberal Mind control apparatus from letting them have independent and free thought!!!!!

Answer 10

wtf is wrong with tryin to keep this planet breathable, the water drinkable, trees growin, clean non polluted rivers flowing,
and things in nature in balance???!!!

not to many years ago pollution was terrorizing our country because of the toxic outlets of industry run amok!!!!

and we slowed things down and started cleaning things up,
things were getting better!!!

then a new kid came to town and started letting things go and letting industries trash the place again for the vote and the power and the almighty buck!!!

maybe gore just wants people to wake up, cause if you dont have a clue to what he is talking about just go to Nigeria where the oil industry has been given free reign!!!

but america and france and others tryed to get by on the cheap!!!

so the villagers suffered, now china is coming in to clean things up, work with the villages and do things right!!!

what a total f**kup on our oil industrys part!!!!

edit: also the united kingdom and the united states have been dirty dealin side by side for oil domination for a long time, they were part of the nigerian f**kup!!!!

Answer 11

Not all Americans agree with Mr. Gore.
