Guest Post by Thomas Fuller
Depending on when this gets posted, the post Anthony put up titled “O…M…G – Video explodes skeptical kids in bloodbath” may have sunk quite a bit down the pile of posts–Anthony and his squad are prolific posters.
But it can’t get any lower than the content shown in 10 10’s video. A relatively innocuous campaign to persuade people to lower their own emissions by 10 percent has pretty much exploded (literally) any hope that the debate can rise above the Wes Craven level. What’s next? The Last House on the Left… Isn’t Insulated?
The idea that blowing up skeptics is the proper response isn’t at all new–and skeptics have known this for ten years, if the drivel I get in my inbox is any indication at all. The very phrase ‘denier’ comes from a concerted campaign to show skeptics (and lukewarmers like myself, although we often get the double whammy title delayer and denier) as equivalent to those who denied the Holocaust occurred.
There has been a concerted campaign to paint everyone who does not agree with Al Gore and James Hansen as monstrous, ranging from allegories with the railroad trains filled with coal heading to some concentration camp to the late Stephen Schneider’s pathetic paper attempting to assert primacy and purity by miscounting academic publications.
But this is hate speech, pure and simple. It legitimizes almost any action against or characterization of those who do not agree with the most hysterical version of Catastrophic and Cataclysmic Climate Change–shoot ’em all and let God sort ’em out.
Using ten-year-old kids as both props and victims is a particularly nice touch.
When DDB created an ad for the WWF showing planes crashing into the World Trade Center as an advertisement asking for support for green activism, it was grotesque, tasteless and an insult to all who suffered losses on September 11th, 2001. It would have been impossible to imagine a cruder, less sensitive call to green action.
Until now.
For any of those on the activist side who wonder why skeptics (and lukewarmers) don’t trust the communications put forward by their team, they might wonder just how much any sign of reason might be contaminated by the stench from garbage like this.

David Gould,
I replied to your comment over on the WUWT “Blow Me Up, Blow Me Down” post because this comment stream is getting old and nearing its terminus.

David Gould says
“Propaganda is lies. There is a difference between fiction and lying. A propaganda piece intends to convince its viewers that the lies that it is telling are true; a fictional piece tells a story in order to try to teach us some truth.”
Or possibly yet another lie, no ?
Or How about “The Turner Diaries “.
Is it propaganda or fiction ?
Do you accept the “truth” it tries to teach you ?
This video, was without a doubt the most disturbing, horrible piece of “Global Warming” garbage propaganda, I have ever seen!
It was MURDER! There really is no other word for it. Absolutely sickening!!!
Just leave us alone, to get on with living normal healthy lives and focus on sorting out the true environmental and ecological problems of the third world sanitation, child poverty, deforestation and oppresive regimes, etc.
The idea that CO2 (i.e. plant food) can adjust the global weather is hogwash and everyone knows it!
John Whitman,
I read your comment and chose not to respond, not really seeing the point.
