Movie Protest
(Fox News) - A follow-up on a story we had a month ago about a truck driver in England who took that nation's education department to court over a requirement that Al Gore's global warming movie "An Inconvenient Truth" be shown to students.
A judge today ruled the film is "one-sided" and must be accompanied by balancing information. The judge cited nine scientific errors in the movie. Among them — claims that snows on Mount Kilimanjaro are melting from global warming — the judge says that cannot be proven. A suggestion that Hurricane Katrina was caused by global warming — for which the judge says there is insufficient evidence. And an allegation that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing Arctic ice — when in fact the cause apparently was a violent storm.
