Good timing
Yesterday - UK judge rules against AL Gore's film being shown in films
Today - Al Gore wins Nobel Peace Prize.
Interestingly, the complaint in the former story came from a member of the New Party, which should not be confused with the New Party.
Nice to hear about Doris Lessing, too.

Interviewer (brightly): So you have a new book coming out soon, which of course will now say, 'Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature' on the cover!
Lessing: Will it be a better or a worse book for that? I don't think so!
Andrew Wilson met Lessing some years ago at an SF con - it sounds like she's utterly charming in the flesh too.
I've also just found out that one of the other acts used to be in Shelley's Children, which is odd as they just came up in another context for the first time in godknows.
And that New Party. On a quick glance they don't look too unreasonable. They put human rights at the bottom of their list of philosophical points, which is not where it belongs. But they seem more hinged than I expected, somehow.
Though on looking at their committees, there seem to be a lot of people involved in trucking and the haulage industry. Is it a spin-off from the fuel protests, I wonder?
I think his position is that it's a polemic rather than an investigation, which is true. OTOH, it just seems to need some explanatory notes packaged with it, so it's not as bad as it might seem.

Business-oriented Libertarians, as far as I can tell. Flat tax and everything. Odd that they should bill themselves progressive.

I certainly get the impression that that's a part of it. The only place I've seen any real-world publicity of theirs was on the back of a truck.
Disclaimer: I haven' seen the film, and I'm neither a lawyer nor a climate scientist.
Yes, in that case I think I agree with you.
Also, ITYM rules in favour of Al Gore's film being shown in schools. Dimmock was told by the judge that he had "substantially won", but the outcome is that the film will be distributed to all schools...
