Balance, at last A British judge ruled yesterday that Al Gore's climate-change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" can be shown in schools, but its numerous inaccuracies must be presented to prevent political indoctrination. High Court Judge Michael Burton's decision follows legal action brought by a father of two last month claiming Mr. Gore's film contained "serious scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush." Stewart Dimmock wanted to block the government's pledge to send more than 3,500 secondary schools in England and Wales a DVD of the documentary to demonstrate the need to fight global warming, Reuters news agency reports. Judge Burton said the Oscar-winning film should be accompanied by government guidance notes pointing out 11 falsehoods in the film. But the victory was only partial, as Mr. Dimmock failed to get the film banned from schools. The truck driver said after the case that he was "elated," but disappointed he had not secured an outright ban. "If it was not for the case brought by myself, our young people would still be being indoctrinated with this political spin," he told reporters.
