AN INCONVENIENT CONTROVERSY An offer of 50,000 free DVD's of the global warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth has put the National Science Teachers Association in the hot seat. Laurie David, executive producer of the film, charges the world's largest science education organization rejected her offer of free copies because the group has financial ties to oil companies.

Host Bruce Gellerman speaks with Laurie David and Dr. Wheeler. http://www.loe.org/shows/segments.htm?programID=06-P13-00049&segmentID=1
