The school governor who challenged the screening of Al Gore [3]'s climate change documentary in secondary schools was funded by a Scottish quarrying magnate who established a controversial lobbying group to attack environmentalists' claims [4] about global warming [5]," reports The Observer. Stewart Dimmock sought to ban "An Inconvenient Truth [6]" from British schools, with help from Scotland's New Party. Nearly all of the small party's funds come from a quarry company owned by Robert Durward [7]. Durward, along with a former advisor to Tony Blair [8], set up the group Scientific Alliance [9] to "challenge many of the claims about global warming." In 2004, the group "co-authored a report with the George C Marshall Institute [10], a US body funded by Exxon Mobil [11], that attacked climate change claims." A UK High Court judge rejected Dimmock's request to ban the film, but did require schools showing the film to provide "Guidance Notes" to teachers, since the film touches on political issues. (The judge explained that his ruling "did not relate to an analysis of the scientific questions," though many news reports have confused the ruling, according to Tim Lambert [12].)
