When there is no money, tax or personal gain (financial or otherwise) to be made from it.

"He agreed it could be shown but on the condition that it was accompanied by new guidance notes for teachers to balance Mr Gore’s “one-sided” views."

I cant wait to see the guidance notes "OK what you are about to see is fabricated one sided poppycock. Do not believe anything you are about to see. The science behind the points raised in this film is totally questionable. In fact it is designed purely as a tax leverage for western governments".

It kind of makes the point of showing it a tad futile. So, let's not bother. If my kids were made to sit through that tripe, I would have them on a course of hynotherapy to help them forget... Schools brainwashing kids with that political mumbo jumbo is totally irresponsible and make my wee boil.

I'd rather my kids watched Kes or something else more real life.

It is a cynical travesty in an attempt to influence children with the sort of propaganda which suits their real agenda.

My company has had internal showings of the Al Bore documentary, which around 10,000 people attended. I wrote to the Communications dept. and asked them if they would be presenting a balanced view and would also be screening "The Great Global Warming Swindle".

Needless to say I never got an answer.

The managing partner of one of my clients went to a private presentation of it by Gore.

He said he was a brilliant presenter and an arrogant tosser!
