” ... I don’t know why the court stopped at just 11. Hyperbole overload? But this must be enough to make rational viewers sceptical of all Gore’s case.
The British Government has now rewritten its guidance to teachers to take in those 11 objections, while trying very hard not to make Gore’s film seem fraudulent.
To correct that last false claim, for instance, of global warming causing islanders to evacuate their homes, the guide now includes this weasel disclaimer: “It is not clear that there is any evidence of evacuations in the Pacific due to human-induced climate.” What: not clear?
But that’s not the only sign that the educationists who push Gore’s film on to students are as devoted to his apocalyptic faith as are our own class of teacher-preachers.
Note this line from the guide, urging children to question even their parents’ lack of faith: “Pupils may ask, what were my parents and grandparents doing during this time? Did they know that this was happening?”
But here’s the real questions those students will be asking once they are old enough to think for themselves, and to see Gore’s promised Armageddon never came.
What were my teachers doing, pushing on me an end-of-my-world film that clearly didn’t tell the truth?
What madness took hold even of our scientists, that the CSIRO could claim of this deceitful film, “its scientific basis is very sound”?
Children, you are being told untruths to scare you. And shame on those who are party to this deceit. “

The “what’s correct” list would have been much shorter and easier to compile.

Not necessarily. If they manage to ram through some GW-inspired legislation, then when the cataclysm fails to come, it will actually prove they were right, or that's how they'll pitch it.
That's why it's so vitally important not to allow any GW legislation to pass. If it's in place, they'll be in a position of never being able to be disproven, so we'll never be able to repeal the laws. Nice Catch 22, eh?
