We’ve seen Marc Morano from time to time on network news programs. Usually he’s being heckled by somebody brought on for “balance” like Joe Romm or some clueless professor named Watson from East Anglia. This time, nobody wanted to come on, and it wasn’t because of fear of debating Marc. “no pressure”

That the Guardian and various true believers would attempt to portray the video as humor (or even more pathetically ‘British’ humor) is very weak. Not content with offending humanity, the warmists turn on the defenseless British, who may be quirky, but are steadfastly opposed to randomly detonating children.
All the video shows, as anyone who watches it can tell, is that hatred is all the warmists know.
Yes indeed. In the end pop culture will destroy AGW. Pop culture trumps science and economics every time. The bogus climate models, the buggered data, the IPCC shenanigans, the Climategate email antics, the destructive economic proposals, the attempted government power grabs…. all these pale compared to animated exploding children. Perhaps justice exists, but she is very very ironic.
The British media response to this scandal has largely followed the way they handled the climategate scandal.
It shows clearly how the new media is overtaking the old media in reporting breaking news and taking action where the old media is silent and unresponsive.
The real story is why the MSM have not really reacted to this scandal and who has been instrumental in sitting on the story. I have a feeling that groups like the NUJ/SEJ have been key players.

The Facebook page seems to be back now.
In fairness, this contest ran on “The Age of Stupid” (Franny’s film that preceded the 10:10 Campaign) Facebook page, rather than the 10:10 Facebook page.
See the whole thing here A searing review of the “The Age of Stupid” film appears here
==========================================================
Donna. Thank you for the reference to the ‘searing review’ of “The age of Stupid” – Most revealing! I was interested in Franny Armstrong’s background and earlier ‘work’ to get a clear idea of her thinking. The review simply reinforces my conclusion that she is a fanatic. Someone earlier commented that Bin Laden has gone ‘green’ while the ‘greens’ have gone ‘explosive’ and I think that pretty well sums it up. Madness is the only common denominator and the two (Al -Quaeda and some of the Greens) have become and are interchangeable.

Painting with a broad brush is fun.
REPLY: You mean like this?
I doesn’t seem to me that people are alarmed enough about this. The mindset on display here is exactly the same as one we saw in the middle of the last decade. People being collected up and politely reassured that they were safe, when in fact they were about to be mass murdered? This doesn’t ring familiar with anyone? This is not just a few misguided people with “bad taste”, this is who they are – you’re either with us, or we want to kill you.
These guys actually go a little farther. At the very end of the video (not shown on Fox), they actually execute one of their own supporters after she’s finished doing her part to help them. She has the nerve to refuse to make the sacrifices herself, considering what she has done for them to be helping “enough”. You have to be a “true believer” – sacrificing yourself for them, in your own personal life – or you’re dead. No exceptions. It’s classic cult stuff.
I can’t believe that no one has mentioned that Megan looks fantastic…. 🙂
But I wish they had taken the opportunity to slam the scam of CAGW here.
One of the most aggravating things is that it is:
…… the warmers who have abandoned science,
…….who have falsified data to support their fantasy,
……..who have slandered and intimidated those who simply told the truth,
……..who have worked to wrongly destroy reputations and livlihoods,
……..who sought to silence dissent AND STILL LOST THE DEBATE,
so now they turn to defenseless children with their indoctrination. Deeply sick and disturbing.
As evil as anything society has seen before. We cannot underestimate the malevolence of this cult.
“The charity ActionAid, which co-ordinates the 10:10 schools programme, today welcomed the move. “Our job is to encourage proactive decisions at class level to reduce carbon emissions. We did it because evidence shows children are deeply concerned about climate change and…”
Well I hope that is some comfort to the Brits that ActionAid will tone it down a little in the classroom.
This from the BBC.
It seems like the warmists are finally beginning to realise their cause is a lost one and that their continued reliance on bad science and misleading and/or untrue scare stories is backfiring.
Those attending this week’s meeting of the climate faithful in China will doubtless be grateful that there should be enough space to park their private jets and limousines, unlike Copenhagen in December last year.

No. These people are violent totalitarian religious extremists, not environmentalists. Children are part of the environment. Destroyers of children are destroyers of the environment.

LOL. You talk about the need for “snaity [sic] in our discourse again” and “folks stoking hate on both sides. Please stop.”

Stop Global Dumbing Now’s video was typical of the last British government, which turned wasteful spending into an art form, almost bankrupting the country.
Unfortunately, the present coalition is still publicly dedicated to support the bad science and unsupported scare stories of climate change. However, there are a growing number of sceptics in the Conservative Party, which may just have enough political muscle to ensure those who want to make this and the 10:10 type of scare videos no longer receive any government financial support.

I second that, its a real shame. The reference to extremists on both sides was the best thing anyone on Fox News has ever said, that I recall. They didn’t need to show that damn video.
I dare say I hate that crazy sob Beck will have ahold of it. I can see him as the next Adolf Hitler with Sarah as Veep. You heathens and sinners be workin’ them mines and smelters and if you collapse they’ll put you in a plastic coffin.
Thing is the other side of the aisle is just as crazy as them!

Painting with a broad brush is fun.
“Co2 causes climate change.” Could you give the specifics on how that is done? Or will it just be a broad brush saying co2 causes climate.
“Global warming is damaging the planet.” Could you give the specifics on what is happening? Or will it just be a broad brush?
The Arctic is changing in ways never seen before. Could we have the specifics? Or will it just be a broad brush there too?
Meanwhile, the UK government seeks to greatly extend powers of government over homeschoolers.
“Schedule 1 of The Children Schools and Families Bill
Introduces an annual registration scheme, effectively a licence, for Home Educated children. Parents would have to apply an advance plan for their children’s education every year in order to remain on the ‘register’ and Local Authorities would have extensive powers to refuse or revoke registration on a variety of grounds. This reverses the fundamental principle in English law that parents are responsible for the education of their children.
Under the proposals, Local Authorities would have wide powers to monitor home educated families and children. The proposed system includes mandatory annual visits and requests for unaccompanied interviews with children.”
Those who engage in denouncing AGW non-believers seem to forget that there are many skeptics who live a largely “sustainable” lifestyle. People who minimize the use of energy, drive sub-compact cars, live in small homes in a city close to work, recycle, avoid flying and otherwise maintain a small energy footprint. Can we say the same for those who are advocates of AGW?

“I dare say I hate that crazy sob Beck will have ahold of it…”
I’m not worried about what Beck has to say about the video, that might seem strange when it probably seems like I was being too pedantic with the point I raised earlier. But the difference between Fox News and Beck is obviously that one is news, the other an opinion piece, to me that’s a big difference. I’m probably a bit old fashioned in that I think broadcasters should labor to be objective when presenting news as news.
Often times, in school shootings here in the US, the perpetrator posts his intentions beforehand on a website or social network. These kinds of violent threats by students are taken seriously.
In this case, though, this has been created by ActionAid, a group that continues to have access to the classroom.
Does that mean that threats of violence by students can no longer be taken seriously, since it is practiced by those who organize school programmes?

“We need to hit them where it hurts most, by any means necessary: through the power of our votes, our taxes, our wallets, and more.”
“‘We must break the law to make the laws we need: laws that are supposed to protect society, and protect our future. Until our laws do that, screw being climate lobbyists. Screw being climate activists. It’s not working. We need an army of climate outlaws.’
“The proper channels have failed. It’s time for mass civil disobedience to cut off the financial oxygen from denial and skepticism.
“If you’re one of those who believe that this is not just necessary but also possible, speak to us. Let’s talk about what that mass civil disobedience is going to look like.
“If you’re one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fueling spurious debates around false solutions, and cattle-prodding democratically-elected governments into submission, then hear this:
“We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work.
“And we be many, but you be few.”

The presenter said: “What happens next is even more horrifying than what you just saw.” I think the bit Fox broadcast was the easily the worst of it, does anyone want to argue that the following two scenes are “even more horrifying”?
She said “what happens next…”. She does not refer to “the following two scenes”.
What is horrifying is the way murdering for the cause is presented as perfectly normal and without negative consequences or moral compunction. It is not the violence itself. Rather it is the moral sanction and the glorifying of violence for the cause that is so disturbing.
Fox showed the most “shocking” part — but “horrifying” speaks to something that “terrifies, causes dismay, is appalling, frightening”. It is the morality of environmentalists that frightens me. I’m not appalled by their Hollywood-style special effects.
