Yech. Look what automatically assaulted me during my purchase today of a flash drive. Click to see full size – note red arrow.
And here’s the web page for this intrusive organization ACE aka the Alliance for Climate Education. The programs appear to be free for high school students, so the pitch isn’t exactly forthcoming.
Looks like they are doing education with superhero costumes and rap music. Yeah, sure, I wanna donate to “climate education” like that.
Looks like NOAA is partly pushing this outfit, looky who is on the science board.
And badges, they need lots of stinkin badges!
Here’s the video pitch (warning, air sickness bag recommended)
Shame on Ebay for promoting this dreck.

Maybe I missed it. But has anyone tried to contact Meg Whitman in reference to this? Is she still CEO? I’m looking for her email but so far am striking out. She may have severed her connections when she ran for gov. But may still be helpful.
I don’t recall if I did. Did anyone contribute to her bid for office. I suspect some of you did.
Romney has just claimed to be an AGW supporter.

So your ban list now is what? Wikipedia, Google, Ebay,…?
Glad you still have your Macs, iPods and iPads. Oops, no

These bans might start getting inconvenient soon.

I don’t think this is the forum for that debate so I’m not going to argue the point in any detail. I’ll just say that Jer0me’s assumption that I’m poorly educated in terms of WWII history is a poor one. I’ve a long list of relatives who did not make it out of the concentration camps. Two of my grandparents did, one uncle and my father. I’ve studied it from eye witness accounts, from history books, from psychology texts, and one of my longtime friends (now passed) was a high school teacher I spent many hours with over the years talking about what happened. He was an immigrant from Germany, and as a youth had been a member of HY. I judged him by how he grew up and lived his life, not by his birth of origin or the education he was subjected to.
Do not presume to lecture me on history. I stand by my comment and applaud Anthony for taking a firm line in regard to the matter on both sides of the debate.
Microsoft also has a climate change policy you might not like. Google…er…Bing it. Now you can’t have Macs or Windows.
The difference today is the net. These kids are going to find out that they have been propagandized.
If I were a warminista, I’d start looking for a good rock to squeeze under.
It’s amazing how these people continue to borrow from the Nazis. If they were serious about truly educating kids about climate, they would teach both sides equally and let the kids decide which made the most sense. But then, even less people would believe.
Hmmm?
I wonder if ebay gets a piece of the pie?
You know, maybe 5 or 10% for a collection fee?

You must read this. Must !!!
The ABC has been the major Australian Gov. conduit for BS since day one. This article is rubbish but, because it is on the ABC, has a legitimacy beyond the fraud that supports it.
AGW.. Government bred, fed & led fraud.

Darn.
Be a shame to let his otherwise great management skills go to waste, so maybe Commerce Secretary.
You don’t have to click that link.
After all, there is ‘No Pressure’.
The blame game… blame your parents… pouah, disgusting, generational war and civil war appeal under the guise of green.

Among the free-minded people things don’t work this way, Jimmy.
If we don’t like some (optional) propaganda donation on eBay site, it doesn’t mean that we will march in formation, boycotting the whole eBay service. We don’t think this way, and we don’t act this way. Don’s ascribe to us your own behavioral patterns.
Ah, now HERE’s a fun game to play. Okay, I had billions and billions of relatives die, so I’m the supreme expert in the universe on everything you’re talking about.
You’re wrong.
Comparisons to the National Socialists are always fair when people are emulating the evil indoctrination and murderous psychopathy of the National Socialists. From their own writings, the green movement intends to murder between 4.5 and 6 billion human beings. If you want to sit there on your thumb and argue about unfair comparisons, how about that the National Socialists didn’t manage to kill even 1% of the number that our loving greens intend to have offed?
There is a difficulty in getting a right of reply. In Oz, our people-owned ABC just does not allow it. So you can file a complaint. Maybe you’ll get an answer on a trivial portion of your complaint. Here is one that has been running for 2 years now, very little progress.

It is not on thread for climate, but it shows establishment stonewalling in agriculture & horticulture.
“Fight Fire with Fire…??”
Perhaps this is an example that should be embraced?! Why not run an Ebay ad that states:
“I want to give $1 to WUWT, to help students honestly explore the issues of Man Made Global Warming, Anthropogenic Global Warming, Climate Change, and Climate Disruption.

Why not?
I managed to last 1 min 28 seconds before hitting the stop button. Can anyone beat that?

Excuse me? Which part of I’ve studied the history from eye witness accounts, from history text books, from pyschology text books did you miss? I made the point that the issue is intensely personal to me and that I have studied it in depth as a consequence. How many of my relatives were murdered is what prompted me to study. It has nothing to do with my conclusions.
If you’re going to wail away about the similarities, then allow me to disabuse you of your false notions. I’ve been in sales and marketing for 30 years. I’ve taken every “art of the deal” “how to sell anything” course there is, and I’ve delivered many of the higher end ones as the instructor. I’ve got some news for you. The techniques of pursuasion for selling soap are remarkably similar to those for selling cars, life insurance, political positions, global warming, racism and hate. You could draw parallels with the advertizing for Grandma Marie’s Day Care if you wanted to. The question is, what is the intent?
Are the AGW crazies proposing to cut back CO2 emissions because they think it will save the world and don’t understand that the medicine they propose is worse than the disease, worse, a disease that they believe exists but doesn’t? Or are they proposing to kill people they don’t like? Are they blaming the world’s ills on things people are doing? Or are they blaming the world’s ills on things specific groups of people are doing and blaming those specific groups and conspiring to exterminate them?
If you’re going to take a pot shot at me because of what I mentioned about my personal background, and do it in a sacrastic and dismissive fashion, then you have piqued my interest. You are the worst kind of skeptic, you make the same kinds of emporer’s clothes as do the warmists, and when confronted with someone who knows the topic well, you wind up exposed for what you are. Naked in the street without a shred of evidence to hide behind.
You want to argue the facts, go ahead. But try and discredit me by taking one of my comments out of context and rificuling it…that tends to get my cutting sarcasm gene all over active. So far you’ve wound up looking silly for the out of context remark and you clearly are a neophyte when it comes to the various methods of pursuasion otherwise you wouldn’t have made the foolish mistaked you did in stating those comparisons.
Over to you, but at least toss me a fastball, the slow under handed pitchies are too easy to knock out of the park.
60 bucks for 64 GB stick, that is damned cheap.
We must pay at least 70 Euros here!
It must have been recent schooling!

With every month that passes, the objective falsehood of the AGW thesis becomes more obvious and widely noted. More and more of the herded public and science community are digging in their heels and turning back to the greener pastures they’ve been driven away from.
Hence the increasing shrillness and urgency of the herders’ screams and whip-cracks. But time is turning exponentially against them.
Yet another example of social engineering delivered by a fake charity. It’s nothing more than the advancement of authoritarian government disguised as philanthropy. Time we shut these clowns down…
On a vaguely related topic, the 2011 Grant Thornton International Business Report released today appears to have some interesting results. But this article: http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/5102858/Saving-the-planet-not-important-to-NZ-businesses-survey. But the interpretation by Mr Sparrow is pretty bizarre! Anyway, what was the wording of the question? And how can businesses take seriously something over which they have no control?
@ur momisugly UK Sceptic…
Shutting down these clowns is indeed an appealing idea. Er… any idea how?
Who would want some ill educated poorly spoken badly dressed dolt talking to their kids school. But of course parents would not be asked.
Being a ‘dolt’ is not colour sensitive. This boy just happens to be black but playing the colour card works better, or so these people think.
