Attack on Gore's Film Funded by Anti Environmentalist Group


When 'Errors' are Not Errors

Big surprise - the latest attack on Al Gore's award winning film was funded by an anti environmentalist group. Who can believe it? And scroll down for the links to the story about what that judge actually said, or the rightwing lies reported by lazy media, aka, the rampant mis-reporting on the case of the British judge and Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."

British Attack on Inconvenient Truth Funded by Flat-earthers:

"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."

"A High Court ruling last week that the Oscar-winning documentary would have to be screened with guidance notes to balance its claims was welcomed by climate-change sceptics. The Observer has established that Dimmock's case was supported by a powerful network of business interests with close links to the fuel and mining lobbies."
