Al-Qaeda has their madrassas. David Koresh had his Branch Davidians holed up in a compound in Waco, Texas. Hitler replaced teachers in established German schools.

And then Al Gore has Nashville for his "Climate Warriors":

Dave Mowat is now one of Al Gore's climate warriors.

Mr. Mowat, chief executive officer of Vancouver City Savings Credit Union, spent two days in a Nashville hotel last week being trained to present his own version of Mr. Gore's An Inconvenient Truth to Canadian audiences.

Mr. Mowat rubbed shoulders with 200 other business leaders, environmentalists, scientists and luminaries -- including A-list actress Cameron Diaz -- as they got tips from the former U.S. vice-president on how to make the case for action against global warming.

Once these Climate Warriors are accepted, they're given marching orders and targets:

Last week's session started with Mr. Gore giving the complete An Inconvenient Truth lecture, Mr. Mowat said. It was followed by explanations of the science behind each of the 266 slides in the show, and how they should be used in a presentation.

Attendees got tips on how to condense the show for kids, for church groups or for other specific audiences. And there was advice on responding to questions, and help with improving presentation skills.

The only Inconvenient Truth in that room is the fact that Al Gore is attempting to dishonestly brainwash 300 million American's into electing him President.
