> that the film was misleading 
> in 11 respects and that the Guidance Notes drafted
> by the Education Secretary's 
> advisors served only to exacerbate the political
> propaganda in the film.

> In order for the film to be shown, the Government
> must first amend their Guidance
> Notes to Teachers to make clear that 1.) The Film is
> a political work and promotes
> only one side of the argument. 2.) 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. 3.) Eleven inaccuracies
> have to be specifically drawn
> to the attention of school children.
> 
> The inaccuracies are:
> 
> 
> * 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.
> * 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.
> * 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 7m
> causing the displacement of
>  millions of people. In fact the evidence is that
> sea levels are expected to rise
> by about 40cm 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.
> 
> ... yet another reason to watch
