FEDERAL WAY, Wash., Jan. 25 A planned seventh grade showing in Washington state of Al Gore's film on global warming has kicked up a major fuss.

The Oscar-nominated documentary An Inconvenient Truth was to have been shown at a school science class in Federal Way, Wash., a Seattle suburb, until one of the children ' s fathers angrily attacked the idea and got its showing temporarily scrubbed for the entire district. Frosty E. Hardiman, father of seven and an evangelical Christian, objected to the film, he said, because it blamed the United States for global warming. He says he believes it to be, instead, one of the signs of Jesus ' imminent return, The Washington Post said. Hardiman succeeded in convincing the school board into banning the film for the district's 22,500 students, though the ban has been lifted, subject to rigorous conditions, after board members were sent thousands of e-mail messages and phone calls, the Post said.

Frosty E. Hardiman 's Cult View
By: Cynthia , Fri, 26 Jan 2007 14:31:21 GMT

This (Frosty E. Hardiman’s) representation of the evangelical right is no different than any other suicidal CULT. They don’t want to stop global warming because is a sign of the second coming of Christ? What is the difference between him and Jim Jones? The difference is that it will affect every other living being on the earth.

Yes United states is the leader in Greenhouse gas emmissions. That is a fact. Our future is also comprimised by these emissions. That is also a fact. Will Jesus return and if he does,when?
Depends on your personal belief.

If he dosn't want to see the movie then no one is forcing him. The problem with these envelagicals is that they force their opinion and beliefs on others by jumping up and down and using Jesus as an excuse for their behaviour.

I think more people should be going out and doing more things for the envirement because my class and I were talking about in the future they prodicted that there will be a world war 3 and I feel that even if I am a ten year old kid I can still prevent all this from happening in the future.
