1. You have to see this to understand some mind sets regarding “global warming”.
2. I didn’t know trains still ran on time at the end of the world.

unbelievable that some one in 2008 could post such a crude, callous piece of total [bs] and call it progress.
How is it that the polar bear had so much ice to fall from? Isn’t it all supposed to have disappeared and raised the sea levels – wait a minute, most of Australia’s interior is below sea level so how come the kangaroo did not drown?
And with the recent ruling that cartoon characters are people (www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24767202-2,00.html), what viewer rating will be placed on this ad?
Now I understand clearly the hopless circunstance of people under dictatorial regimes. What can a normal people do when submited to a continuous missinformation with no other refferences ?. Goebbles is here again, and unfortunately for long time .
What about all the thriving malaria moscitos, that global warming will cause??
Does anyone know where this advert is going to be shown? In Portugal? Elsewhere?
They could also do one about Santa Claus getting depressed and dousing himself with petrol and setting himself on fire. If you believe animals get depressed then you can just as easily believe in Santa. Or for a more hard hitting image, Santa could walk into a crowded city and open his big coat to reveal a massive suicide bomber’s belt. Santa hits back at consumerist humanity! All those toys children–ever stop to think what they cost the environment?? The scene fades to dark and the air is left filled with echoes of a sarcastic “Ho Ho Ho”.

Well, people don’t read anymore – they don’t think – they just watch – pictures, TV, animations – something that doesn’t require too much brain power – and they merely react, if even that.
It’s called (60+ years of) social conditioning – social engineering – compartmentalization, folks… do names like B. Russell, G. Orwell and A. Huxley ring any bells? How about the Fabian Society?
The “science people” are in their own little compartments and labs while “PR(opaganda) people” are in their far bigger ones – the UN, EU, White House, TV, Hollywood, major banks, big-buck think-tanks and financial institutions, transnational corporations, NGOs etc. – and someone still thinks they can convince these people with “good science”?
Well, just consider that as a rhetorical question – but I guess you can’t get any more “optimistic” (“illusioned”?) than that…

This is the sickest video i’ve eva seen ………
I hope they didn’t use my tax dollars for that disgusting piece of propaganda.
Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies.
Climate always changes, the science is clear.
Please take the politics, money $$$$$$$$ to be made by Rockefeller out of this, and start using rational, factual based evidence.
This is ridiculous! At 0:19 it is quite funny,,, that does not look like a polar bear, it looks like a giant white rodent O_o
And remember that article , where alarmists urged people to eat Kangaroos to stop gw! This is just cheese
Unfortunately I know the exact target audience for this type of information – my 14 year old neice.
She claimed the other day that all cows should be killed because of their methane and contribution to global warming.
She is a relatively smart kid, but hasn’t yet developed any capacity for critically assessing what an expert is saying – she was arguing with me (PhD geologist / geochemist) that ‘scientists’ say they can predict the next eruption of Vesuvius (where she’s going on a trip with school) with 2 weeks warning. I tried telling her that this was little more than an educated guess, and that these scientists are actually looking forward to the next eruption (and next big Californian quake) because they’ll learn so much about how to predict the following one.
Who are these Quercus bozos?
Where do they get their money from?
If it’s the Government, I want a refund.

CGI is expensive. Where are these guys getting their money from. There’s this seemingly never-ending torrent of cash pouring out of somewhere.
Soros, for one, and the Hollywood Glitterati for a lot more. There is no shortage of guilt money available from the limousine liberals.
Soros made his massive millions / billions by taking down the British Pound a long time ago. Shorted it to oblivion. Nice guy … /sarcoff>
If you knew what this maniac and his ilk did in living memory you would not be comparing his actions to this video. I am actually disgusted the moderators let these slip when I have been chastised for using the word ‘denier’ (using it in its correct context and definition I hasten to add) in previous posts. I would suggest the moderators here bear in mind the damage that comments such as Miguels do to this blog.
REPLY: Mary, I disagree. And what bothers me the most about your comment is that you don’t seem to care at all about the content of the video, and then practice being a victim because you’ve been chastised in the past. The reference (and title) is about propaganda. Its valid to cite those who used propaganda as tool, “in its correct context and definition”. Get over it. – Anthony
Only someone’s imagination could create that video. As such, global warming is not as dire as the video or someone’s imagination portrays. It is anything but that. Besides, you could weep over any of life’s injustices…like death and so forth…but why? It is how it is…and we should just flow with it. Or snow with it…kind of like Eastern Washington’s massive snowfall (Wednesday through Thursday) this week….

I fully agree, Goebbels would be turning in his grave for failing to realise the power he could have obtained in his day using the techniques advertisers use today!
I think the monkey was a chimp Pamela, but to be honest I think I must be one of those poor dumb Brits who lost the plot, sorry chaps, I was laughing so much I thought this was an extract from the latest Disney Christmas holiday offering to take the kids to! I think the chimp should have had a half-empty bottle of JD for even greater effect, but of course that might encourage the little ones to become raving alcoholics so perhaps not! Now, the kangaroo should have called the polar bear to bring the ice down, the chimp could then join in with his bottle of JD & they could have had a ball. What was it Bert Onestone said, “a scientific consenus can be undone by a single fact!”
Here in UK CJD has surfaced again, apparently. New scary storey for the Christmas holiday, no real news from the Poznan summit & its outcomes, (I do hope thoses 10,000 delegates/supporters get their expenses forms filled in before the Chrimbo hols or they won’t be able to benefit from all that taxpayers dosh!), cold weather everywhere, officially the coldest start to winter/December for 30 years, but lets not stop scaring folks, I wonder what I could spread a rumour about to frighten everyone into not buying it? Takes their simple minds off the economic crisis I suppose. Apparently this cold & frost & snow demonstrates that waming is happening faster than experts expected!
Hasse@Norway, that’s probably why there was only one polar bear, one chimp, & one kangaroo, the mosquitos got the others.
Must go, the sea is lapping at the door, I dare say 6 hours later it will recede, then 6 hours later it will be back again. Good ol AGW.
Unfortunately that video has been haunting around for quite some time. It was tasteless the first time I saw it… It’s still tasteless now.
Photoshop. Do they have a video equivalent?
Because this thing is screaming for an edit.
a rewrite?
Lets assume that there were a grandstand and instead of it being some benighted future time, the scene of apocalyptic drought is a Marine World Climate Change exhibit. The Monkey lands on a mattress off stage, like a carnival magician. At the end of the show Al Gore passes the collection plate to his audience of Marin County true believers.
Needs work – I know.
The UK press today, is reporting on the increase in hospitalisations causing great strain upon the NHS system.
The reason?
The abnormal cold start to December means more elderly people are having falls and chest infections.
Who the f*%# is “Quercus” ??????
Crazy.

What an appropriate category – ridiculae.
I had a few other thoughts I was going to share, but I’ll self-snip those and blame them on those cold/flu meds.
This just proves the AGW folks are no longer capable of making a cogent argument based on the “facts”, particularly now that the data show a downward trend in global temperatures.
