Inconvenient Truth is told to students

30jan07FORMER US vice-president Al Gore could feature in all Australian classrooms this year as his climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth is distributed to secondary schools.
The Oscar-nominated film will be offered to about 2800 high schools following its release on DVD last week.
Among the first schools to receive it is Loreto Normanhurst, in Sydney's northwest.
Maddie Migdoll, who starts Year 9 at the girls college this week, said she was worried about climate change.
"I can't speak for all 14-year-olds but I do (worry about it)," she said. "Definitely a lot more could be done."
Planet Ark founder Jon Dee, who is a spokesman for the DVD launch of An Inconvenient Truth, said he wanted the documentary to be seen by every school student over the age of 12.
"This DVD can educate kids about the problems of global warming," he said.
A NSW Department of Education spokesman said individual schools could decide whether to use the DVD in their curriculum.
