An inconvenient truth?

Some pissed off parent in Washington has managed to get Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth pulled from classrooms.
"You will not teach or show that propagandist Al Gore video to my child, blaming our nation — the greatest nation ever to exist on this planet — for global warming," he wrote in an e-mail to the Federal Way School Board.

The computer consultant is an evangelical Christian who says he believes that a warming planet is "one of the signs" of Jesus Christ's imminent return for Judgment Day.
Because of this dude's cataclysmic Christianity, An Inconvenient Truth now may only be shown in conjunction with "balanced views" AND with a principal's written permission. But I'm confused. Shouldn't we be at least slightly concerned about global warming even if it is sanctioned by God? I mean, when locusts start pouring out of the sky, is this guy not going to ask questions?
