Well, well, somebody came to their senses. About two hours ago, around 6:30AM PST, 10:10 took down their disgusting video showing school children were skeptical of carbon reduction suggestions from their teacher, get blown up in a gory bloodbath that covered other students with gore. It was first covered at WUWT here:
O…M…G – Video explodes skeptical kids in bloodbath
The is what the “No Pressure”website at http://www.1010global.org/no-pressure says now:
The movie title is rather ironic now, isn’t it? Surely, they felt some pressure. Here’s what happens when you visit the clip on YouTube.
The preview thumbnail is still there:
But when you press play you get this:
The URL for the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UHN3zHoYA0
Directs you to the main page of YouTube now, so you can’t view the hundreds (perhaps thousands by this morning) of angry comments left about the video.
Even the “behind the scenes” making of the movie has been disappeared.

There’s nothing on their main website and nothing on their Twitter feed about the removals. They seem more than a bit embarrassed, and rightly so.
Richard North of the EUReferendum has a nice summary, complete with screencaps here
Finally, here’s my badge of honor, courtesy of “Hot Topic”, the major pro AGW site in New Zealand:

Yes, it was “obviously effective”….at making you all look like hateful fools.
Thanks for noticing!
But, the video continues to go viral, it’s been copied and is spreading across the Internet now, and there’s nothing they can do about it now. The rat is out of the bag.
UPDATE:
The 500+ comments for the original video are still visible here:

And, dozens of copies are now appearing in various places all over the net. Have a look in comments below for the links of your choice.
James Delingpole has some commentary.
Dear Moderators,
Isn’t there a policy of some sort against posting personal email addresses, as in while inciting hate mail? Have you verified this one is publicly available?
I may simply be unfamiliar with the poster’s name, but the similarity to “desmogblog” makes me wonder if someone is trying to get the site in trouble.
[REPLY – Quite right. No personal emails. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. ~ Evan]

If it was Curtis’ intention to subvert 10:10 by presenting a message so contentious that an inevitable backlash would slap them in their greenie faces, then I hail him as a genius.
If not then he’s just an utter pratt.
******************************
I believe you have summarised Curtis’ intention correctly. I have met him, he is very intelligent, and a complete rebel. Time will tell!
All the best.
IT WAS FUNNY…..until the very end and then………..
(this feels like REAL CLIMATE!!!!!) where she say i helped you am i not protected?
No! your blown up too!!! that makes them serious at that point.
ACTUALLY THE CO2-CLIMATE CHANGE LOBBY DOES KILL PEOPLE
I attempted to comment on the Guardian’s thread on this matter but as as been mentioned before the Guardian of free expression subjects my posts to automatic censorship. My pass rate is 1/3 so as a precaution here is my posting on the Guardian:-
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2010/sep/30/10-10-no-pressure-film?showallcomments=true&msg=a#end-of-comments –
Yes it’s a sick film but ironically the CO2 – climate change lobby and climate fraudsters are already causing deaths.
For example a number of people were killed on UK and European icy roads last winter (and Spring) due to the fact that the UK and Europe ran out of road salt. This running out of road salt was because Councils and Government heeded the Met Office advice that there would be a mild winter and ignored our WeatherAction warnings that the UK would run out of road salt.
As I explained to Hilary Benn on Sept 29th at the Labour conference in Manchester the reason why the Met Office long range forecasts were so deadly wrong last winter (and the one before etc etc) was because they back-tested them using (as well as failed assumptions ) CRU data which was fraudulently made warmer than reality so forecasts based on that are bound to come out too warm and cause deaths which could otherwise have been avoided.
I made the point specific in a recent video giving the tragic example of the child killed on 31st March in a school bus which crashed on snow covered black ice in Lanarkshire. See VIDEO via
http://climaterealists.com/index.php?id=6352&linkbox=true&position=2
and pdf –
http://www.weatheraction.com/docs/WANews10No15.pdf
Around the world thousands die from extreme weather events the solar-based forecasts of which are ignored by governments because they do not want to upset the CO2-Climate Change ideology on which they rely to control energy, resources, the public and to raise carbon taxes and boost the carbon trading bubble of false value.
Thank you
The film was pulled because it was too revealing. It was nothing but pornography for “watermelons.” Ooh, bookmark the nasty parts! Was it good for you? Did it leave you feeling sanctimoniously satisfied? Sleep tight tonight, little eco-fascists.
Wobble asks: “How did they not realize that this video would backfire?”
Answer: Disconnected from reality. Much like the so called “science” of AGW.
“Finally, here’s my badge of honor…”
Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges! (Sorry, couldn’t help it 🙂 )
In the UK we’re re-naming it after Richard Curtis’s blockbuster romcom
…………….. It’s got to be “Hate Actually”

“…incites and condones violence against skeptics”
“…1984esque totalitarianism”
“…mid-east and elsewhere have copies by now, and are using it as a training film.”
Hello!
LOL! Have any of you ever watched the games your kids play on the PC? Are you aware of the movies they watch. You’all from the Victorian Age or what?
Wake the hell up! This little 10:10 thingee here is rated PG compare to the crap out there kids play with daily.
unquote
I find the 10:10 thingee worse than digusting but P makes an excellent point: DO you know what your children [or grandchildren] are watching?
ARE we awake?
Hope this wake up call is not wasted.

I always thought it funny when David Blood & Al Gore started GIM.
What a partnership, Blood & Gore LOL.

I see that the Guardian has stopped further comments being posted on its thread. Must have realised the damage that the article had done to its already dwindling credibility.
The Science and Public Policy Institute has a good article on this (Note 1) which also gives some background into eco-nutter Frannie Armstrong which suggests to me that perhaps she can be excused just a little. Her gullibility may be due to an unfortunate combination of genes that brought her into this world. On the other hand she may, like AL Gore and his buddies, be simply motivated by money. I suspect that she thought that the UN’s COP15 fiasco in Copenhagen an opportunity to turn her second-rate film-making career around. With all of the political hype that preceded COP15, any gullible person would think it opportune to jump on the bandwagon. Frannie certainly jumped, founding 10:10 after chatting with another staunch supporter of The (significant human-made global climate change) Hypothesis, Ed Miliband.
Miliband is a career politician, not a scientist, and had his own reasons for pushing out his version of the propaganda (Note 2) ahead of COP15. He gave his full support to Gordon Brown’s nonsense that “This is perhaps the greatest challenge that we face as a world” (Note 3). This is evidenced by his comment in Africa in August 2009 when asking people to sign “Ed’s Pledge” (Note 4) with his “the world can’t afford to wait. The problem is urgent .. ”. Of course, after the COP15 extravaganza turned into a fiasco climate change was relegated from this exalted position and Number10.gov.uk The Official Site of the Prime Minister’s Office considers that “The greatest challenge Mr Brown faced in office was the worldwide financial crisis and the subsequent recession”.
Ed Miliband is sticking doggedly with his propaganda. In his effort to win leadership of the Labour Party he persisted with “climate change is the greatest challenge to our way of life” (Note 6) then in his presentation to the Labour Party Conference last month Note 7) he said “taking the difficult steps to protect our planet for future generations is the greatest challenge our generation faces”. What he is too dumb to accept is that it is the UN’s propaganda train that is heading for catastrophe, not global climates.
As for Frannie Armstrong and her Spanner Films, I’m afraid that they are heading for catastrophe too.

When I first saw this video I thought it must be something done by the deniers/skeptics (whatever you want to call us these days). I can’t believe that the AGW crowd of true believers really thought this was a positive way to get their message out. I even forwarded a copy to friends with the comment – “really funny take on the AGW crowd!”
When I found out that it was actually issued by them, it was no longer funny – it was really quite vile and will clearly fly back in their faces.
Have these people no decency?
“We ‘killed’ five people to make No Pressure – a mere blip compared to the 300,000 real people who now die each year from climate change”
—Franny Armstrong, founder of 10:10
By my count, they ‘killed’ seven people in that film (two students, three office workers, a footballer, and Gillian Anderson). Can’t they get any number right?
