“Having declared the science of climate change “well and truly over”, the Tides Foundation, in partnership with the Ontario government, is sending thousands of public high school students home for summer break with a DVD copy of Al Gore’s Academy Award-winning An Inconvenient Truth.
“The debate over the science of climate change is over”, said Tim Draimin, Executive Director of Tides Canada Foundation. “We need to focus on innovative ways to respond to the global warming challenge. An Inconvenient Truth helps all viewers—students, teachers, and parents (emphasis CFP’s) —think about the long-term implications of our lifestyle and what we need to do to build a sustainable Canada.
”Ontario Environment Minister Laurel Broten shares her support; “We are pleased to partner with Tides Canada Foundation to distribute An Inconvenient Truth to Ontario schools. Today’s announcement is moving Ontario forward in the battle against climate change by inspiring students to reduce their environment (sic) impact. We are growing a new generation of environmental leaders in our schools who will help us build a strong Ontario for many generations to come.”
Following the Tides Canada announcement of its gift to students, Michael Chernoff, Director of EnCana Corporation, one of the largest independently owned oil and gas companies in the world—offered schools copies of The Great Global Warming Swindle that purports to challenge current climate change dogma.” (CFP)
Notice the use of the word “purports” in the description of The Great Global Warming Swindle rather than a dvd that provides a different view.
