Updated Below – New “The Air-Conditioned Suit” video surfaces
https://youtube.com/watch?v=U5iS7BL1tDA%3Fversion%3D3%26feature%3Dplayer_embedded
“‘Combustible’ is a web video, created as part of a campaign, for the Global Climate Initiative, an organization that was borne to raise awareness of the fact, that we as human beings, are actually having a negative impact on the global ecology, and we shouldn’t wait until it’s too late to see this truth, and act.”
From Ad Week:
“Global Warming Targets Its Enemies First in New Ad Climate change ‘doesn’t need you to believe’“
“The spot was created pro-bono by New York agency Realm.”
“Combustible” follows 10:10’s “No Pressure” video of exploding skeptical children;

which was covered here on WUWT;
and Grist TV’s “How to Strangle a Climate Skeptic”:

Why are believers in the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming Narrative so afraid of reasoned skepticism?
Update:
Another video from the same source as “Combustion” has been surfaced by reader Ecotretas. This one is a somewhat amusing video of a man going about his business in an “Air-Conditioned Suit”, that is until he suffocates on a subway…

Witness the lead up to Durban………
When all else fails [particularly the science] either: 1/ burn em down, 2/ blow em up or 3/ throttle em.
OK, I’m convinced.
Global Warming Targets Its Enemies First in New Ad Climate change ‘doesn’t need you to believe’
Wait, so that’s a pro-AGW acolyte combusting in the video? Surely they are the ‘enemies’ of Global Warming rather than we ‘skeptics’.
Goody! Another CAGW snuff film!
The astonishing thing to me is that the Woman in Red makes no effort to aid the poor bloke even though (in context) it’s clear she has no idea what he’s talking about on his phone.
All she does is kick his eyeball in the puddle of soot.
The people who dream up these idiotic self-serving spots are beyond sick. They’re inhumane.
Oops: I meant ‘surely’ rather than ‘sure’!

OMG!!! I’ve seen this before. Wasn’t this in “Sodom and Gomorrah”?
I thought that admonitions against using aerosol canisters were related to the ozone hole and given that regulations forced changes in their contents as a result that they wouldn’t even qualify as a risk factor for that issue.
“Just a moment….Just a moment.
……..
I’ve just picked up a fault in the AE-35 Unit.”
(the earlier fright was about salinity, Dave……..)
“I would recommend that we put the unit back in operation and let it fail. It should then be a simple matter to track down the cause.”
The left continues to ramp up their violent political rhetoric. This isn’t funny any more. Irresponsible ne’erdowell’s are shutting down American ports and threatening death to fellow Americans. That does not sit well with me.
Wow, that’s about as edgy as a bowling ball.
Oh gee thanks, a triple-whammy insult over breakfast…GIGO.
“we as human beings, are actually having a negative impact on the global ecology”
Actually, no, we don’t. Ecology is a branch of science, and we actually develop it. As thinking human beings.
Yeah, and these are the people who want to ban my son’s asthma medicine. Sure, joke about murder. Not funny. They are killing people with their insanity.
At least they have stopped killing school kids.
don’t we realise we are no longer “sentient human beings”?
4 Nov: Forbes: Steve Zwick: The Climate Debate is Over. Let’s Tap Markets to Save the Trees, the Planet, and Ourselves
If you’re one of these self-proclaimed “skeptics” who still deny that man caused this mess and that man must fix it, then you’ve sacrificed your credibility as a sentient human being…
That’s the take-home message from the Berkley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) Study, which was funded in part by the Koch Brothers and headed by Richard Muller, a vocal critic of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)…
To fix this problem, we must fundamentally change the way our economy prices goods and services so that the cost of environmental degradation is embedded in the cost of production. If we do that, everything else will follow. That’s the basic premise of carbon finance, and it’s a conservative idea – first proposed and then implemented by fiscal conservatives just a few short years before the whole movement went collectively insane…
Smart money is moving in this direction, as we saw at the end of September with the publication of State of the Forest Carbon Markets 2011: From Canopy to Currency. This survey documents a record $175 million flowing to support forest carbon projects in 2010, representing commitments to sequester enough carbon to offset nearly 30 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions…
Encouragingly, the report shows that private-sector companies aren’t just buying credits to reduce their footprints; they are also developing and brokering projects on an ever-larger scale – a role traditionally filled by environmental non-profits. This indicates the market’s growing confidence in our ability as a species to do the right thing.
And, as we all know, the market never lies.

Surely they leanrt from that 10:10 stuff. Even warmists cringed at that, and now they’ve brought out sequel.
The inability to see the threatening outrageousness of their behaviour is a clear sign of the Cult. God – Gaia, Pan, Allah – is at stake. All Unbelievers are disposable, should be disposed of.
This is more evidence that knowledge, sophistication and cultural awareness are not defences against the lure of Righteousness.
So… with their logic, it would be perfectly fine to produce a video that depicted Mann on a spit… slowly roasting.
If they are going to burn us, can we at least have a stake?
Will someone please put the head back on the global warming chicken so we don’t have to keep watching it run around like this!
What is it about these perverts and their desire to portray the murder/violent/sadistic deaths of those that are considered their political enemies? There seems to be a sickness infecting the CAGW cult. We really truly do not want to be ruled by these fanatics do we? The more the fruitcakes are marginalized the more obviously deranged and dangerous they become, I suspect a new branch of the terrorist family is to be born when these people are finally excluded from normal mainstream society. Do they really think that by setting fire to dissidents they will appeal to normal human beings?
Having once been an ad-man…I think I can follow the train of thought that ultimately produced the line ‘climate change doesn’t need you to believe’…The creative team met the ‘client’ who clearly told them at great length of their problem; that Global Warming was being seen by more and more people as a strange ‘belief’, or pseudo religion.
The creatives decided to tackle the ‘belief’ thing head on.. cleverly inverting the problem and shouting very loudly that Global Warming is not a belief and hoping that this cunning ploy will reverse the ‘skeptics’ advance.
Ha!
Couple of things…negative advertising rarely works, and like so many of the junior creative hotshots before them, they have broken this cardinal rule of advertising…lead from the front, take the high ground…amuse, inspire, puzzle, challenge…but don’t snipe or sound shrill or appear to be on the defensive.
Unwittingly all they have done is highlight and reinforce the commonly held view that Faith is at the core of AGW belief…and that this Faith is getting pretty thin and worn out as more and more people see through the hoax.
It also takes a brave ad-man to tell a client that their message isn’t the problem…it’s that their product stinks!
If you dont believe, you will perish in flames.
With every passing day, ‘global warming’ becomes more and more religiose.
Question: I recall charts of past ice age periods looking quite chaotic. It seems to me that climate change is complex and humans do not have the data on which to form a comprehensive understanding. And that a slight rise (if any) could just as easily tip the chaotic system to drop into an ice age as much as it could rise into a hot house? I do not think scientists understand all the interconnections and feed-back loops and long term factors…
