He is asked if he has addressed the "9 significant errors" pointed out in his movie by a British Judge.
And does he respond well? No, not really. He looks pretty uncomfortable, and then claims that the court 'found in favour of the movie."
Did it? No. An outright lie by Al Gore.
"Gore’s claim that the British courts ruled in favor of his documentary isn’t exactly accurate. It was ultimately allowed to be shown, but only when accompanied with a take-home paper indicating to parents that the film is scientifically flawed and political in nature. As John Hinderaker points out at Powerline:Gore’s claim that the judge found in favor of his movie is ridiculous. The case was brought by a parent who objected to the film being shown to British schoolchildren on the ground that it is propaganda, not science. The judge found that An Inconvenient Truth “is a political film” that is riddled with scientific mistakes. He held that as such, it would be illegal for the government to require the film to be shown in schools unless it was accompanied by “guidance” pointing out that the film contains a number of scientific errors. The judge concluded that the claimant who objected to the film “substantially won this case by virtue of my finding that, but for the new guidance note, the film would have been distributed in breach of sections 406 and 407 of the 1996 Education Act.”Despite the inaccuracies in the film, and despite Gore’s refusal to face critics of the film, he continues to be heralded as some sort of a prophet. Why? Because this isn’t about truth."
