And, Azure, I don't have a problem with you or other teachers showing the film, and in fact I've seen it multiple times and have learned a bunch of stuff from it. All I'm saying is it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

I actually don't have a problem with showing the film in a science classroom, as long as you point out the supposed faults in the science Gore presented.
I really don't think there is an 'other' side...global warming is real, and it is happening. What we DO NOT KNOW, is that man is 100% responsible for it.
I don't have a problem with the message Gore tries to get across...in other words the changes we should be making, because such changes ARE healthy for the environment. But I have a problem with accepting his message as the 'best explanation' and discredit any scientists that disagree with Gore.
