Al Gore's climate change film is distributed to UK schools
David Milliband, who was environment secretary when the school packs were announced in February, said at the time: "The debate over the science of climate change is well and truly over."
Distribution of the film to schools is being contested in the courts. A Mr Downes, allegedly acting for a lorry driver, said there was an "unlevel playing field" "I'm afraid this film is irredeemable. It's awful. It should never, ever have gone out to schools."
The complaint to the courts seems to be at least partly funded by the 'New Party' - which seems to be a far right wing political lobby group.
IMO: I have read many of Al Gore's own film reviews and he seems a reasonable, balanced man. The film is pretty good too, and won two Oscars. Climate change must be made clearly known to everyone. That is not a matter of politics.
