_K_ Member	10/12/2007 6:01:00 PM A High Court judge who ruled on whether climate change film, An Inconvenient Truth, could be shown in schools said it contains "nine scientific errors". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/h...ews/education/7037671.stm

londonkev Member	10/14/2007 3:24:00 PM ^does al gore have a law degree?
_K_ Member	10/16/2007 11:17:00 AM Four or five years ago overpopulation was cited as the biggest threat to human longevity on earth. Mass starvation, disease and pestilence were right around the corner and ready to wipe us out. Climate change comes along and suddenly all that is quickly forgotten. Hmmm....

mythos Member	10/17/2007 11:21:00 AM Revealed: the man behind court attack on Gore film Fuel and mining magnate backed UK challenge to An Inconvenient Truth The school governor who challenged the screening of Al Gore's climate change documentary in secondary schools was funded by a Scottish quarrying magnate who established a controversial lobbying group to attack environmentalists' claims about global warming http://observer.guardian..../story/0,,2190770,00.html A WHITE HOUSE aide who softened scientific warnings about global warming in government documents has been hired by Exxon Mobil, the oil company. Philip Cooney, the former chief of staff to President Bush’s Council on Environmental Quality, quit two days after leaked documents disclosed the extent to which he had neutered the conclusions of government scientists. Mr Cooney will start working for Exxon Mobil at the end of the summer, the Texas-based company said yesterday. White House officials said that the timing of Mr Cooney’s departure from the Bush Administration and the prompt news of his new job were coincidental. http://www.timesonline.co...mericas/article533755.ece Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by one of the world's largest oil companies to undermine a major climate change report due to be published today. Letters sent by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), an ExxonMobil-funded thinktank with close links to the Bush administration, offered the payments for articles that emphasise the shortcomings of a report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). http://www.guardian.co.uk...ontpagenews.climatechange

londonkev Member	10/17/2007 2:30:00 PM did the judge work for mobil to?
mythos Member	10/17/2007 3:35:00 PM the judge was right to do what he did. dimmock wanted the film banned, but it did not happen. this happened: Mr Justice Burton said the government could still send the film to schools - if accompanied by guidance giving the other side of the argument. He was ruling on an attempt by a Kent school governor to ban the film from secondary schools. In his final verdict, the judge said the film could be shown as long as updated guidelines were followed. These say teachers should point out controversial or disputed sections.
londonkev Member	10/18/2007 4:58:00 AM im still giggling about the above comment that overpopulation is the biggest threat to mans longevity. seems like overpopulation (even if such a concept exists) is proof of mans extended longevity.
