Oh dear…

Funny how shocked you are by this cringeworthy ad. Makes you feel better about being a thgoughtless, selfish person huh?

6 million pounds is nothing when compared to the amounts that can be saved. Even if global warming is NOT happening, and we are wrong- as you neoflat-earthers claim- the savings in energy costs and wasted resources will easily dwarf that miserable sum.

ASA have just written to me telling me they are investigating my complaint along with many others.

Unfortunately I cannot pass on any further details on the idetified issues or process as they have deemed the correspondence to be “confidential”.

This advert is typical of the mindset of ecofascists!!! Know doubt some idiot in a position of control will try and justify this disgraceful advert.
If this was placed on the tv by a private company the powers that be would come down on them like a ton of bricks.

Sorry to come into this late, but you shouldn’t take too much notice of Vicky Pope (Met Office) trying to sound less alarmist. This is what she says on the Met Office’s site:
“Decades like 1999–2008 occur quite frequently in our climate change simulations, but the underlying trend of increasing temperature remains. We cannot be complacent. Indeed, other signals of climate change are increasing as fast, or even faster than ever due to the combined effects of global warming and natural variability — the rapid loss of summer Arctic sea ice is one such example. Early action to reduce the extent and impacts of climate change remains vital.”
So to Ms Pope, the Arctic summer melt is being caused by us, not natural ocean currents. Wonder how she’ll feel in 5 years time when it’s back to normal?

Absolute rubbish – to put it mildly.

This is just another example of the manipulation of our youth in this climate alarmism – the main one being the one-sided science curriculum in our schools. It is nothing short of propaganda.

Man-made Climate Change is a Fairy Tale and children know Fairy Tales are not true.

[q] Vader2004 (05:47:49) :

You can tell from all of the “against” comments, that you are all scared of the truth.

The truth is that our children will have to pay for all the power hungry and greedy people across the planet, and the poor will die.

The people in the third world are dying to let us drive big cars and run large factories producing mass-produced rubbish.

All for the sake of using our brain to think of eco-friendly solutions.

Remember drive a smaller car and switch of unnecessary lights, the outside of your big house does not need to be lit during the hours of darkness.

The world resources belongs to all of the worlds people not a few rich and greedy people.

The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few. [/q]

Spoken like a good little socialist …”From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”

It’s people like you that are the cause of videos like this. I only hope one day when it all comes to a boil you and your ilk are held accountable for your idiocy.

Personally I couldnt care less about “people in the third world that are dying” so I can drive my big car. Its my choice…get it? MY CHOICE not yours! I dont understand what these crazies want..back to the middle ages with no lights and no cars?

I truly hope that when the war starts its not the lawyers that are first against the wall but it will be the ones like you that have tried to ruin the world for the rest of us.

P.S. If we do get back to the “good ol days” of villages and horses I’m sure you’ll be a shoe in for the job of Village Idiot…wait maybe Al Gore will run to be the King of Village Idiots and you’ll have a friend.

Lil update on this story-

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/oct/16/complaints-government-climate-change-ad

“The advertising regulator has received more than 200 complaints that the government’s latest TV campaign on climate change is misleading.”

No news yet whether the ASA will ‘act on’ these complaints or not.
