Hot Propaganda – coming soon to a TV near you

Two comments:

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.

The video makes an interesting point. By showing us what animals manifestly do not do it makes the point the we are the only species that cares, that is capable of caring, that will ever care. No other species gives a damn. Rubbishing humans as the environmentalist lobby and AGW proponents do is deeply counter-productive if you care about the planet and its occupants.

This is exactly why this is not a laughing matter.

Anthony,
They did not show the full edition.
This is a pharmaceutical promotion for veterinary version of Prozac.
It’s also effective against a number of human anxieties like Global Warming Hysteria and the Climate Change Syndrome.
It’s highly recommended and more Alarmists should take it.

visit http://www.nick.com … you can join a game of cartoon characters to battle CO2 monsterts. 🙁 This propaganda will probably hit the kids more than the above video.

Wow! That was classic and very strange. So much so I had to comment. Suicidal animals? I recall reading an article in defense of lemmings a few weeks back. AGW … ?
Meanwhile, folks are snowed under in Las Vegas and that isn’t a euphemism for drugs.
Anthony, your work is a public service thanks for your gallant efforts to fight fatalism.
Sincerely,
CW

Excerpts from http://www.earth-condominium.com/engl/quercus.html Quercus’ “The Declaration of Principles”:
PREAMBLE
Mankind lives in a moment of decisive turning in its history.
For the first time it is legitimate to speak of a common future to all women and men of the human kind. Today, contrary to what always happened in previous historic times, technical, scientific, politic and economic transformations do not take centuries or millenniums to show and produce effects at the global scale. Great changes in our time become planetary, in its positive and negative consequences, in real time.
Nevertheless, it is increasingly evident that the world growing public awareness of environmental problems is far from achieving the necessary positive reflex in practical terms, and if this doesn’t happen it will not be possible to reverse the disruptive trend that shape contemporary history.
PRINCIPLES
Sixth
Quercus bases all its actions in a scrupulous respect for intellectual honesty and rigour that all critic and/or constructive intervention implicate.
Seventh
Quercus considers as a valuable work method the dialogue and the eventual cooperation in the development of specific projects with a collective interest and approach with all entities, institutions and individuals involved in the definition and implementation of a sustainable environmental policy in Portugal, what, nonetheless, should never compromise the right to a fair and timely critic.
Eighth
Quercus considers indispensable, in order to fulfil its objectives, the scientific community insight and the exercise of a healthy interdisciplinary spirit.

I wonder if PETA was on scene when the chimp hanged itself.

What a disgusting piece of propaganda. The AGW crowd must be getting desperate to put on a full press like this before people realize our planet is now cooling.

December 18, 2008 5:27 am

Seeing a monkey hanging itself was the highlight I thought.

Another example of why AGW is a social movement and not science.

Ric Werme (21:19:55) :
My wife is a lawyer who defends people unjustly accused of child abuse and neglect. The Child Protective Service people she battles share a mindset with some of the AGW folk – both groups are certain they’re right, both know the end justifies the means.
Ric…I have had to do joint inspections with ‘Animal Control’. Watching their fanaticism as they seize dogs and cats from little old ladies, who have taken in more strays than they can care for, was a real eye opener for me. The animals are everything! The people seem to have no rights at all! After a couple raids like that, I finally felt I had some understanding of witch burnings….. This is a sick cartoon by some seriously sick people…one can only wonder if their religion will someday lead to car bombs in the name of the earth……..

It’s pure, unadulterated climate porn, used for motivating the already-brainwashed (and brain-dead), and further frightening children into becoming the new army of climate brownshirts. Yes, the AGW crowd have no moralality whatsoever. The ends justify the means for them, which is fascism.
Love the comments, but when I saw Perry Debell’s “Quercus cwapus” I laughed out loud. Brilliant.

Re: Las Vegas snow.
How rare is such an event at any time of year, let alone in the first half of December? So rare that, according to an article in the local Daily Rag, McCarren Airport has no snow removal equipment and no de-iceing capability. And Clark County deploys a fleet of two snow plows and two graders.
I wonder if they take over/under bets on snow accumulation.

The clip emotionalises the topic. That’s the key element of all propoganda films.

Do you think that this will get Al Gore to reduce his carbon footprint to less than that of the average American?

December 18, 2008 6:51 am

Interesting to see how really sick minds work producing propaganda.

December 18, 2008 6:52 am

Mary if people study history they will see that before it became public knowledge that goebbles and his boss were killing millions of people they were considered as ideals by many of the liberal elite in the us and other countries. The only difference is these people haven’t resorted to murder.

With the animal intelligence demonstrated I’m not sure whether we have a new voting block or clientele for a mental health service.

Is the Pacific Ocean cooling or not?

So if you’re ever confronted by a grizzly bear, play dead.
If you’re confronted by a duck, tell him you’d like to buy supplemental insurance.
If you’re confronted by a parachuting cow, tell him you eat chikin.
If you’re confronted by a polar bear, just tell him that you give up and he’ll wander off to the nearest cliff.
I think I got it now.
