Al Gore banned for schools

Nobel peace prize winner Al Gore is being banned from schools in the UK, of course not him personally, but his film, An Inconvenient Truth, why? Well its down a to school governor from Kent who says that there are some points in the film which are political brainwashing material, these points are:

Sea levels may rise “up to 20 feet” in the near future.
Low-lying Pacific Atolls have already been evacuated.
There is an exact fit between CO2 rises and past increases in the Earth’s temperature.
The Gulf Stream will shut down due to global warming.
Climate Change is causing Lake Chad to dry up.
The snow on Mt. Kilimanjaro is disappearing due to Global Warming.
Climate change is causing widespread bleaching of coral reefs.
Hurricane Katrina blamed on Global Warming.
Polar bears are drowning due to inability to find arctic ice.

And the conclusion, the High Court agreed with the school governor calling the film both alarmist and exaggerated!
