Note: Imagine that, in England (any many other parts of the world) kids are being taught real science. They are learning to observe the world around them and to make deductions based on those observations. Here in the U.S. meanwhile we are teaching our kids (and most adults too) that Climate Change is just some sort of "vague" possibility being forced into the gullible by evil Liberals. Of course we now know that Exxon paid large sums of money to deliberately skew evidence on Climate Change in order to keep it as "vague" as possible and, more recently, that the White House used it's influence to do the same thing... MJ Publictechnology.net : The powerful Al Gore film "An Inconvenient Truth" will form part of a pack on climate change sent to every secondary school in England, says Department of Education & Skills Environment Secretary David Miliband and Education Secretary Alan Johnson.
It's a good use of communications technology to get across a key message to a target audience group.
The DVD will go to 3,385 secondary schools in England. It will be part of a Sustainable Schools year of action to support all schools to become models of sustainable best practice. Other tools and support being produced include teacher resource packs, a pupil "detective kit", guidance for bursars and governors and a new Teaching award.
The film documents former US Vice President Al Gore's personal mission to highlight the issues surrounding global warming and inspire actions to prevent it.
Mr Miliband said:
"The debate over the science of climate change is well and truly over, as demonstrated by the publication of today's report by the IPCC. Our energies should now be channelled into how we respond in an innovative and positive way in moving to a low carbon future.
"I was struck by the visual evidence the film provides, making clear that the changing climate is already having an impact on our world today, from Mount Kilimanjaro to the Himalayan mountains.
