| 致力于防止全球气候变暖的美国前副总统戈尔目前获得了诺贝尔和平奖。对于戈尔的获奖和他所提出的全球变暖的理论，在美国得到了主流媒体和好莱坞的大肆渲染和赞扬。早有人联合建议由他出面来代表民主党任下一任美国总统。 然而，在国际上，戈尔的全球变暖的理论受到来自科学界强有力的挑战。其中主要的论点是全球气候变暖是没有什么科学依据的，气候变幻莫测，不能由一种暂时的现象来臆造出一种理论来。 
今年二月，英国环保部长DAVID MILIBAND和教育部长ALAN JOHNSON宣布将向全英国3385所中学发送一部有关气候变化的电影。 这部电影就是戈尔制作的，全面阐述他的全球变暖理论, 在美国连获嘉奖的记录片"一个不容忽略的真相"（AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH）。
今年9月，一位叫Stewart Dimmock, 今年45岁的英国卡车司机，因他的两个上中学的儿子从学校得到了记录片,而起诉英国政府。
这位卡车司机说：“我象其他人一样关心环境问题，但我决定我的孩子不能在教室里被政治游戏所玩弄。”
目前，法官判他胜诉。
判决书中指出这部电影有9大误导，并要指出英国教育部为这部电影所编写的教师指导原则只是加助了该片的政治宣传。如果要在学校放映这部电影的话，英国政府要修改有关原则，要明确说明：
1。本片是政治作品，只是一面之词。
2。不说明而擅自放映该片的老师将触犯1996教育法的第406部分，犯政治说教罪。 3。要向学生特别强调该片的9个不准确之处。
这9大误导是:
1.The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.
2.The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years. The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.
3.The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that it was “not possible” to attribute one-off events to global warming.
4.The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that this was not the case.
5.The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice. It turned out that Mr Gore had misread the study: in fact four polar bears drowned and this was because of a particularly violent storm.
6.The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream throwing Europe into an ice age: the Claimant’s evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.
7.The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching. The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.
8.The film suggests that sea levels could rise by 7m causing the displacement of millions of people. In fact the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40cm over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.
9.The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand. The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.
