<div><br></div><div>It sounds like the gist of the issue is this:</div><div><br></div><div>Increased CO2 in the atmosphere is leading to all sorts of changes in the climate, but it is extremely difficult to say that any particular event is a direct result of increased CO2 emissions. Gore was trying to tell a story, so he showed specific events (e.g. Katrina) and suggested that global climate change may have been responsible. It's hair splitting.</div>

They were talking about the environment and global warming. I won't go into everything they were saying because it makes me so mad I want to throw something but one thing they said was that Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" could not be shown in British schools because of all the inaccuracies in the film. I googled this and found this article and was wondering if anyone on Social could speak to some of the points in this. What concerns me is the men I overheard discussing this were using this to basically write off global warming or the things people do to try to help as ridiculous and uneducated. If you have time please read this and let me know what you think. Its not a very long article.</div>
