Are you saying that you don't think that documentaries are unbiased? Do you honestly think that Gore does not have a bias in his documentary? Just as a side how do you know how educated llama64 is and why do you feel a need to resort to personal attacks?

ALL information is biased. It is created through the lense of a few and presented only in their context. THAT is bias.

On to llama64, that was a shot from a few other threads that he has been involved in recently.

Interesting how you bring up religious indoctronation as global warming being defined as a religion is being discussed in this thread:

Wow, thanks for pointing out a thread I am already participating in. Really on top of things.

Aside from that though how are children exposed to religious indoctrination in a public school? Global warming has opponents to it and they have evidence supporting their arguments as well (Even though you may not agree with their evidence and arguments). The bottom line is if videos that are biased such as "An Inconvenient Truth" are shown in a public school the opposing view should also be presented to the students so that they can make their own choice of what they believe.

Again, you miss the point because you're new and haven't been involved in other threads where these issues have been discussed.

I see no reason to NOT show the documentary. It is supported by a majority of scientists in the world and the UN's body on this research. I would have no problem with a counter production being shown as well, as long as the information on the individuals who produced and appeared in the documentary are disclosed in the same fashion that the Gore movie is subject to. All information needs to be out there. If you're going to rip Gore for his political position, then the political position of all involved with all productions must be known as well. That seems to be a point that falls through the cracks with those who are critics of the Global Warming theory.
