Al Gore and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have been jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to disseminate knowledge about man-made climate change. Former US vice-president Al Gore won two Oscars for his film “An Inconvenient Truth”, a hard-hitting documentary that highlights the potential impact of global warming. All secondary schools in Wales, England and Scotland have received a copy of the film, but a high court judge has recently ruled that it must be shown with teachers’ guidance on nine areas of scientific dispute, after an attempt by a Kent school governor to ban the film from being shown.
