Gore film to be shown in schools

Al Gore's film warns of the impact of humans on climate change
Former US vice president Al Gore's climate change film is to be shown in all of Scotland's secondary schools, it has been announced.
An Inconvenient Truth looks at the scientific evidence on the causes and likely impacts of global warming.

Plans to show it in Scottish schools were announced ahead of an event in Glasgow attended by Mr Gore and former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix.

A package of education materials will be developed around the film.

Environment Minister Ross Finnie said: "Scotland takes climate change seriously.

"Since meeting Al Gore in September and watching An Inconvenient Truth at its first screening I have been considering ways in which the main messages about climate change could be embedded into future learning education in Scotland."

5. There was an article recently about a school board banning it because of a fundie outcry.

Typical.

At least some of the evangelicals who have been rolling in the mud with the fundies are pulling their heads out and waking up to reality.

6. Yeah, there'll always be some morons who yell louder than the rest.

Didn't Pat Robenson himself say he's done a U-turn on his beliefs toward global warming?
