British Judge Tells Gore: Your Movie Is A Shame!

Well, a British judge has made it known to schools, that if they show Al Gore's political propaganda movie, "An Inconvenient Truth" that the teachers must also explain to the students about the "untruths" told in the film. The judge said no less then 11 untruths. Interesting isn't it? When science gets in the way of political propaganda?

Al Gore is up for the Nobel Peace Prize, but what exactly did Al Gore do to achieve peace through a political propaganda movie? How does talking about Global Warming (which for all practical purposes is an outright falsehood) achieve peace again?

What exactly were these untruths specifically?
And was this some sort of court ruling, or just a judge giving his opinion as a private citizen?

Why does preaching about Global Warming win you a peace prize? What good does preaching about Global Warming do to promote peace on earth? Even if the climate was 100% perfect countries would still go to war.

If anyone should have won the Nobel Peace Prize then I think the Burmese monks would have been better contenders than some politician who preaches to ME about Global Warming yet whose home uses twice as much energy as the average American household and three to four times as much as the average British household.

And, in my opinion, saying that MAN is responsible for Global Warming is absurd. Global Warming has been occuring for millions of years, before Man ever came into existence.

Though it's English Common Law which America has adopted, of course, which gives you the benefit of being innocent until proven guilty and gives you trial by jury.

But you could always revert to the Napoleonic Code used in France and much of Continental Europe in which you are guilty until proven innocent and don't have juries consisting of your peers. Then see how you get by.

Though there IS a British judge in the sense that the legal systems of England and Wales are exactly the same.
