My Inbox exploded with tips today, this one in particular. This unbelievably vile video from the 10:10 campaign takes the award for the most disgusting climate and carbon reduction video ever. It is in a class by itself, which is off the scale. See also Ryan Maue’s post below this one on the 350.org tie in for 10:10.
What were they thinking? They weren’t, because this is going to have the exact opposite effect they intended it to have. I don’t have words to describe my disgust with the video.
WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO IMAGERY
Here is what they say about it on YouTube:
The1010Campaign | September 30, 2010http://www.1010global.org/no-pressure
Whippersnapping climate campaign 10:10 teams up with legendary comic screenwriter Richard Curtis – you know, Blackadder, Four Weddings, Notting Hill, co-founded Comic Relief – and Age of Stupid director Franny Armstrong to proudly present their explosive new mini-movie “No Pressure”. The film stars X-Files’ Gillian Anderson, together with Spurs players past and present – including Peter Crouch, Ledley King and David Ginola – with music donated by Radiohead. Shot on 35mm by a 40-strong professional film crew led by director Dougal Wilson, “No Pressure” celebrates everybody who is actively tackling climate change… by blowing up those are aren’t.
I know people will be upset by this, please keep your comments civil – Anthony

UPDATE1:
Some people in comments whether this is some sort of horrible spoof. It appears to be direct from 10:10, as the URL highlighted in yellow below on the YouTube description links directly to the 10:10 promotional web page:
http://www.1010global.org/no-pressure
which is a subpage of their main website.
UPDATE2: They are so proud of this “mini-movie” they did a “behind the scenes” video of it.h/t to WUWT reader “scarlet pumpernickel”.
UPDATE3: Hot Topic (an AGW proponent site) in New Zealand thinks this video is “obviously effective“

This appears to be a big budget production. That would indicate some serious funding coming from ‘head office’.
Humans who think for themselves are not the target market any more – they’ve rejected the scam. But there’s one major market left: the knuckle draggers, who might just respond to a call to violence.
Two things about this video that totally disgust me:
First, the school scene and the use of children – this pretty much says its ‘OK’ to separate out and ‘remove’ those who disagree with the AGW point of view – on this alone I hope it gets banned by advertising standards before it even makes it onto any TV channel.
Secondly, the sheer double faced ‘its OK’ and bang approach to dealing with those who disagree – our society is founded on open discussions and discourse; this is basically an attack on our society and free speech in the name of dealing with climate change. This is an insult to those who died in the great wars and don’t care if its meant to be ‘edgy humor’; that get out clause does not apply when you attach an agenda to it.
If they think for one microsecond this is going to do anything good to further their cause they are most mistaken – this could well be one of their biggest gaffs.
10:10 is TERRORISM because if you don’t go along with the insane majority you’ll be MURDERED!!! Greenpeace has crossed the line into seriously dark death threats which are illegal.
The message is that if you won’t help out we’ll kill you with no problem. As bad as Nazi’s.
This Greenpeace guy says that if governments won’t solve “it” then it’s up to “us” to solve it. He admires the people at 10:10 “charity” and calls them dedicated.
I’d call them terrorists for promoting the idea that if you don’t help they’ll murder you and that that would be socially acceptable.
I gotta say this really looks like it is making fun of overzealous activists on global warming while making a good point on the intolerance shown by many on dissenting view points. I mean the name itself ‘no pressure’ is a big clue. I think these guys have their tongue firmly pressed into their cheeks. Anyone who thinks this works pro AGW exposes themselves as an intolerant bigot.
I LOLed
I wouldn’t expect anything less from the eco-facists were they given the chance.
Proof once again how bad our side (AGW is real & serious) is at propaganda. They should spend more time reading WUWT! More seriously here is a letter I just sent their U.S. office.

Subject: No Pressure you tube video
Hello,
I just watched the 1010 “No Pressure” video on You Tube:
It is disgusting, offensive and counter productive. I don’t know who in you organization is running the your You Tube site, but please contact them and get
them to take it down. My first thought was that some denier
group made it to discredit you.
What is funny about killing people you don’t agree with?
It’s funny until you realize that it caters to those people harbor a desire to actually wipe out those who don’t want to join their agenda.
Then it stops being funny. Yes, I still laugh at the thought of polar bears raining out of the sky because it was ludicrous. This macabre to the nth degree. Using children is particularly distasteful.
The video shows the Gorebal Warming freaks are losing their minds. Now add this and hopefully they will go into a complete meltdown.

Uh that, (the small portion I watched), was disturbing.
Remember to vote!
It does not take much to get these greenies to reveal their true sociopathic nature, does it? It is only a matter of time before they put their population reduction fantasies into practice. Who better to start with that the climate sceptics out there?
Of course, just because the whole point of this carbon-reduction nonsense is to keep the price of energy cheap in China is no reason to look too closely at things, is it?

“This is a clever if not too subtle dig at the methodologies employed by not only the AGW and “Inconvenient Truth” brigades, but also cults, religious organizations, dictatorships, peer groups, political and environmental groups. ”
I am thinking you really didn’t get it, Stuart.
How about the Greenpeace Unabomber Kid video Propaganda Subversion Advertisement?
Remember to set aside time on October 10th! It’s Workers Party Day!
I am astonished, in the old fashioned sense of feeling like I’ve been hit on the head.
So we’re all going to die because of our wickedness and those that don’t genuflect in the direction of our new gods and their high-priests must die as an example to encourage the others?
Its not ironic, nor even post-ironic – its just plain moronic.
I weep for our society, so filled with self-loathing that members of it can find humour in a retreat from intellectual discourse in favour of fantasizing about killing the “other” in their midst. Its only 65 years since a World War was needed to stop the last group of people who felt like that.
Alex Buddery says:
“I LOLed”
So did Herr P.J. Goebbels in similar circumstances.
When the questions comes …
… I’m gonna put my hand up.
Just in case. One never knows. Remember the Discovery Channel guy.
I thought it was funny. Teachers don’t blow up their kids. Employers don’t blow up their employees. Football clubs don’t blow up their star alumni. Not usually anyway. Not before the imperative to protect the Earth anyway. Gillian Anderson only gets blown up in the X Files or on film.
Alex Buddery says:
(whatever)
Also didn’t get it.
John however:
“I wouldn’t expect anything less from the eco-facists were they given the chance.”
Gets it.
They are telling us what they think of us.”” No pressure , if you won’t respond to our fallacious claims about the climate with massive shame and a verifiable reduction of energy usage, then we, the collective, will detonate you like a burkha clad terrorist at a Baghdad market. And then we will laugh about it. “
All in good fun, but would the CAGW proponents be equally as amused should a skeptic produce a “satirical” video showing Gore, Pachauri, Hansen and other prominent CAGW proponents being graphically dispatched in a similar manner as in this video? The video is so blatantly harmful to the CAGW cause that one could just as easily envision it being a “false flag” effort by skeptics.
Lower Than This They Cannot Stoop
I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Socialist movements always end like this, for real.
At 3:55 in the video is a link to the 10:10 org it seems to be a greenpeace fund drive scam.
I am thinking you really didn’t get it, Stuart.
No, Jimash, it was you who didn’t get it…it was way too realistic to be taken as a parody. It was a mass murder fantasy, plain and simple.
Scarlet Pumpernickel says: September 30, 2010 at 5:02 pm
OMG worse and worse.
David Gould, Are you serious? Ask yourself what would happen if this video picked any other group as a target (e.g., Muslims, Christians, gay people, minorities). If it would be wrong to target any of these groups, then the entire premise is wrong. This is not about having a sense of humor, I have a great sense of humor, but this isn’t humorous. It’s vile.
Vote democrat.
No pressure!
CanaDave says:
Anyway Dave. I absolutely agree with you.
Stuart seemed to think that this was a parody of the climate cult, but it wasn’t, it was their fantasy as you point out so correctly.
Stephen Pruett,
It is not ‘targetting’ anyone in the sense you mean. This is not a video advocating blowing up people who are sceptics. Thus, if the video was blowing up homosexuals, I would look at it in the same light: as a video not advocating blowing up homosexuals.
I will point out that it is difficult to transfer the context of mocking the persecution complex that some sceptics appear to have, as homosexuals *have* been murdered for being gay and *are* targetted by groups of people who most certainly do want to kill them, but if you could transfer the context, I would find it amusing.
