Good News DuJour

It’s nice to see some common sense show up in England from time to time.

Schools will have to issue a warning before they show pupils Al Gore’s controversial film about global warming, a judge indicated yesterday.

The move follows a High Court action by a father who accused the Government of ‘brainwashing’ children with propaganda by showing it in the classroom.

Stewart Dimmock said the former U.S. Vice-President’s documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, is unfit for schools because it is politically biased and contains serious scientific inaccuracies and ‘sentimental mush’.

He wants the video banned after it was distributed with four other short films to 3,500 schools in February.

Mr Justice Burton is due to deliver a ruling on the case next week, but yesterday he said he would be saying that Gore’s Oscar-winning film does promote ‘partisan political views’.

Even if you agree that Man Made Climate Change is happening, Gore’s predictions are laughable. No scientists backs them. Many have spoken out against the film’s hysteria. Add to that the fact the film is largely a piece of self promotion and you have to wonder why its even being shown in schools.

The film is propaganda. At least one court has the good sense to call it what it is.

UPDATE: CNN’s Meteorologist agrees.
