In the past we’ve seen polar bears dropped from the sky and animals committing suicide rather than face climate change.
Those didn’t go over very well. So, the Sierra Club and the McKibbenites muse to themselves; what to do? Why “kittens” of course. We”ll borrow from the old National Lampoon Magazine cover and say “do this or the kitten gets it!”. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Now it’s “March or the Kitten Gets It!” as a way to promote the “March for Climate” in New York City on September 21st. I can just see weepy Bill McKibben breaking down again like some crazy cat lady for dramatic effect. If that had been an actual wind turbine at the end, that cat would be history…just like so many birds. Watch the video:
The video, posted three days ago according to comments on YouTube, so far has about 228 views as of this writing. I’d say they’ll likely get more views from WUWT readers than they ever will from people who might be convinced to march the streets due to some cat video.

It is worth a kitten, if they really do get it. (That the cat is out of the bag.)
Leave it to the darned Liberals to use a little hot pussy, to get attention….LOL! Too bad cuckoo-birds are not an option. They would have made perfect climate alarmist mascots!
Cats and windmills… the birds don’t stand a chance.
Well, the good part is: cats don’t exhale CO2.
Oh, wait…
=====================================================================
I remember a National Lampoon page (I don’t think it was the cover.) that had a Horace Greeley quote that went something like, “Show me a magazine that has a pretty woman, a baby or a pet on the cover and I’ll show you a magazine that will sell!”
Of course the picture was of a pretty mom serving the family pet (with an apple in it’s mouth) to her baby.
Maybe the dog was cooked in a solar oven?
“If that had been an actual wind turbine at the end, that cat would be history…”
Nah. They’re not even spinning. I guess it’s an honest representation since it seems that half the real ones are static monuments to the stupidity of wind as a mainstream energy source.
Are there any depths to which the alarmists won’t sink to get their message across?
The answer is still “no”
Where to next. They are getting desperate!
Indeed. Don’t they see how embarrassingly stupid that clip is?
I would like to understand the campaign. Since some “climate change believers” come by every so often, here is my question to them: These organizations have assets well into the tens of millions, some into the hundreds of millions, what am I to make of their use of these resources? Please use this kitten video as context in your reply. In case there is any doubt, the question and interest are both honest.
Add a few birds beneath those windmills for the cat to munch on & it would be perfect.
Hah! What kitten doesn’t like it warmer!?
If I were in business, I’d want to know who were the idiots at the add agency that came up with this drivel so I could avoid them like the plague. If they came up with it themselves, then “Someone who is their own lawyer has a fool for a client” should also apply to someone who does their own PR promotions.
Well, one does have to give credit where credit is due. They had the good sense to use a Tuxedo Cat, in the second scene, driving the car. Everyone knows tuxedo cats can do almost anything. On the other hand, I know that if there really was a problem my cat, an elderly tuxedo cat, would have told me by now so I know there is no problem with man-released CO2.
Note: there is an hypothesis that all radical libertarians are cat lovers. We need funding to get to the bottom of this crucial issue!
Seeing the cat walk between the Wind Turbines I am thinking he is looking for fresh meat…
I don’t get it. First they say “march or the kitten gets it”, then it’s “stop climate change or the kitten gets it”.
Either way, “gets it” is slang for gets offed. In other words, if you don’t do what they say, they will kill the kitten.
Nice.
STAPH!!!
Next step is the 9:9 video. Cats that disagree about “climate change” get exploded nine times; once for each life.
Notice how they have given up on even pretending science is involved?
I suppose they figure they don’t have to mention it because it is “settled.”
Bruce Cobb:
Nope, you got it. That’s the “joke”. You have to remember the group we’re talking about here. You know: the types who visually bristle at any joke that doesn’t conform to the boundaries of political correctness. These are their knee-slappers.
Lord help all those who have been or ever will be stuck at a dinner party along side these “jokesters”.
Cats? They’re finally doing cats? Welcome to the party, guys.
Oh dear Bog. Do you think I can sell them my old “Gender Neutral Kitten Salvation Happiness Fund” global warming video?
(The old WUWT post on the video is here. Lots of chuckles. I was quite proud.)
So is this the climatic ambulance chaser’s answer to Schrödinger’s cat?
I don’t know why mobs like this aren’t sued for false advertising.
They all talk Climate Change when they mean Global Warming ( note flames in background )
Bit like selling a car and describing a V8 when the company only makes V6’s and then claiming that everyone knows what we mean
While you denigrate people by believing that they have a room temperature IQ you won’change their mind you will harden their resolve to read real science and to switch off childish propaganda.
Despicable arrogance has replaced any semblance of science.
Sceptics love accurate scientific data
On this subject we believe you have very little hence the desperate meaningless cartoon.
Perhaps polar bears got ditched for kittens in forest fires for a reason. Arctic ice is increasing (Northwest Passage still impassible this year as of this date), and the Inuit (Nunavut areal survey) and Dr. Susan Crawford were right about polar bears thriving. IPCC and USGS ‘Oops’.
What else is an increasingly desperate Warmunist to do? Not a rhetorical question, since I have a list and think starting a fantasy league on CAGW would be most amusing. Already called ocean acidification despite the pause (see amusing previous today thread for indirect verification).
One problem. According to OBummer’s 2014 NCR, increasing floods are happening. (Not, deconstructed in a forthcoming book essay.) So the cute kittens should be drowning, not roasting. Or, this ad plays in Steyer’s California, and the drowning ad will soon play in New York post Katrina. That is how all sophisticated operations now target their advertising. A humble advert prediction.
Good god. They include windmills in all their ads. I’d like to see their investment portfolio and see how much they are vested into those airboats. (great big holes in the air into which one pours money; mostly other people’s money too)
The NatLamp cover was (paraphrasing) “Buy this magazine or we’ll shoot this dog” accompanying a very nervous looking pooch with a pistol to his head.
Both the dog and the kitty elicit belly laughs but only one intentionally.
