The Attack On "An Inconvenient Truth"

So, Stewart Dimmock was the school governor who challenged Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," in court.

His funding came from a Scotland-based political party, The New Party.

The Observer has found that the New Party has received nearly all of its money - almost £1m between 2004 and 2006 - from Cloburn Quarry Limited, based in Lanarkshire.

Clobrun Quarry Ltd's owner, who is also the chair of the New Party, is Robert Durward.

- With Mark Adams, a former private secretary to Tony Blair, Durward set up the Scientific Alliance, a not-for-profit body comprising scientists and non-scientists, which aims to challenge many of the claims about global warming.
- The Scientific Alliance advised Channel 4 on the Great Global Warming Swindle.
- The Scientific Alliance co-authored a report with the George C Marshall Institute, a US body funded by Exxon Mobil, that attacked climate change claims.
- One of Durward's letters to newspapers stated: "It is time for Tony Blair to try the "fourth way", declare martial law and let the army sort out our schools, hospitals and roads."

The recent court case on "An Inconvenient Truth" is part of a co-ordinated international attempt to sow confusion about climate change, to get people thinking that there is "two sides" to the issue, rather than an overwhelming consensus.
