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;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSTLDel-G9k&feature=player_embedded
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…

I think we all think, conciously or subconciously that everybody who doesn’t do or think as we do, is a moron, or at least should know better. That is from the genes , nothing you can do so much about… So to counter our reptile reactions we have to use our brain…if we have any….That may require an excedingly great amount of time and effort so…LET your inner reptile rule….[sigh…}
Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must assume that humans are responsible for climate change! The defense rests.
lol That’s funny.
Credibility, immolate thyself.

Question: I recall charts of past ice age periods looking quite chaotic.
Yes, this 420,000 year ice core reconstruction from Vostok, Antarctica;

helps to demonstrate Earth’s propensity towards significant natural climate change.
They were just missing the onlookers chanting “burn the witch”
I recently tried to have a discussion on Yahoo News about empirical evidence that Global Warming was trivial and marginal. WOW. I hardly knew I was a total fool who needed to be exterminated because i could not reason with someone who wants to collapse industry, civilization, Christianity, and the police.
What’s with the eyeballs? 10:10 had a thing about them too.
AGW proponents are getting more desperate by the day.
I think spontaneous human combustion is something that soon the whole global warming eco-movement might experience.
Not because the climate gets colder, not because utility prices increase, not because the scientists in this field are exposed to be more activists than scientists, but instead because of the cheap energy and environmentally friendly new technologies that are reaching the market, such as is the case with the E-Cat. Which I have reason to believe is real, I have followed the LENR/Cold Fusion development saga during the last 20 years. There is more to this story than can be found in comments in this site.
If people start to realize what is going on the whole eco-green energy industry are going to go belly up quickly. The greens are going to go nuts.
They just cannot avoid making fools of themselves! Burn a sceptic so releasing what into the air?
Even the line at the end, “Climate Change does not need you to BELIEVE in it” !!!!! So its not science but purely down to a belief! Do you get the feeling that people are starting to panic?
The most popular skeptical videos are so gentle compared to this. M4GW’s “Hide the Decline” video used a terrific Shondells tune and did nothing nastier than claim that Mann “totally made up” the hockey stick chart and suggest, in a non-realistic still shot, that Al Gore could end up in prison with big aggressive inmates. The alarmists have videos in which average nobodies die horribly for being skeptics and the point is repeatedly to feel good or at least untroubled about one’s skeptical neighbors’ vivid destruction..The left in the past has made a lot of hay complaining about jingoistic dehumanization, via cartoonish caricature, of an opponent, and these alarmist ads have the subtlety to avoid such while still going for the jugular all the more venomously in the end. A more elegant and pc bloodthirst,
Spontaneous human combustion. That was unexpected.

Not eyeballs.
If only they hadn’t burned up all the witches the last time… AGW skeptics make a poor substitute, really, and just because our ideas are so combustible doesn’t mean that we are, as well…
“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…”
Sudden cooling is going up a mountain to 3000′ [5 C] and cooling is going down from mountain 3000′ [5 C]. To get 5 C change in average global temperature of cooling or warming within a century isn’t likely. Suppose the completely unexpected event occurred which say gods or aliens
suddenly magically made earth warmer or cooler by 5 C; what would it be like?
First without taking temperature reading and comparing to past reading, you wouldn’t notice it.
The oceans don’t suddenly boil nor do glaciers melt. This isn’t a guess. Because having days 5 C warmer or cooler than average are occurring all the time.
Over a period a year of this warming or cooling one might think it’s seems warmer or cooling, but again without actually looking at thermometers you could guess wrong- you thought it was cooler when it actually was warmer.
If you imagine the world feels warmer because global warming, you are wrong- you couldn’t possible detect the change as compared to other variables.
After few decades of this warming or cooling, it would pretty easy to correctly guess whether it was warming of cooling. If you are farmer you notice it within a few years- it definitely be either a shorten or lengthen of your grow season and you guess fairly accurate predict when you start growing crops. The sudden increase or decrease temperatures would probably surprise a farmer but since they watch the weather, it wouldn’t necessarily mean the crops would fail. Because again there already is this level of variability in growing seasons, though obviously it adds to the variability- and particularly if it’s 5 C cooler one certainly could have increase in crop failure.
So decades of time being warmer or colder will effect the landscape of just about everywhere, but after decades of time, one still would have noticeable sea level rise- a few inches maybe even a foot. But generally rural folk are going to see changes whereas urban dwellers are not going to notice much. After decades of the warmth or cold glaciers are going to retreat or advance “dramatically” and globally- with some regions being even more dramatic. But moderate size glacier are going to disappear if it’s warming. In 50 to 100 years this could occur in some places- but glaciers in Greenland aren’t going to lose like half their ice mass of something like that.
Though 1000 year of 5 C of warming might wipeout most or all of ice mass in Greenland.
Antarctic has average temperature is -49 C so needs to be much warmer in the region. Though 5 C over enough time [centuries] would warm the oceans significantly- and perhaps significantly melt glaciers in the peninsula that reaches towards South America.
Point being it takes many decades or centuries for temperature to get increase or decrease 5 C warm or cooler, then more centuries of this “result” to possible have what could called significant effects.
If temperature were to rise or lower by 1 C, in next few decade or century we should in a position of having some clue about what we could do.
At this point I am not sure we really have certain solution if wanted to do something to change that warming or cooler trend. There lots ideas- i just don’t know if any would practical or effective- work well as as one might think they would.
But if I thought there was need to get to the point of solving such potential problems, I think space exploration development would cheapest and surest direction to take.
I happen to think space exploration doesn’t need “this particular excuse” and/or don’t wish entangle the pseudoscience and crackpottery of AGW with it- there happens to far better reasons and more significant merits of space exploration.
William McClenney Spot on!
Mueller and BEST go direct to media by-pass peer review…Uhmmmmm
Trenberth wants to change the rules on the null hypothesis…Uhmmmm
Violent and sadistic treatment of rational sceptis a la 10:10 ….Uhmmmmm
But wait! There will be more before the faithfull gather
I smell more monieeeeeeeeeee.
The next pot of gold at the end of this rainbow is DURBAN!!!!!!!!
QED
What is the scientific reason for the whole body turning to carbon. including the bones, but leaving the eyeballs intact? Since I just saw it with my own two eyes it must be true, so I must now believe in Global Warming.

The E-Cat is being promoted by a guy TWICE CONVICTED OF FRAUD. I’d be very careful there until we have way more evidence besides “secret sauce”, “secret data”, and “secret customers”.
He could be on to something real. Or he could be on to another scam. The weight is very much towards the latter.
I place more hope in Polywell Fusion which seems to be progressing nicely. And then there are tar sands oil and natural gas. About 100 years supply of gas just in American fields. And there are fields off Israel and in many other places. Breathing room to work out the next step.
They can wishfully burn, explode and strangle sceptics yet strangely they continually to fail to shut us up…
As for Grist and its “overwhelming data” claim, weren’t they the ones who wrote a disturbing article hitching their
climate catastrophe zealotryAGW tumbril to the Japanese earthquake and subsequent tsunami within hours of all those thousands of people losing their lives? The article’s author, Christopher Mims, then tried to backtrack with updates as the outrage was poured upon him. The faithful believers attacked sceptical comments and make the theirreligious fervourcause look even more hysterical than everI’ve used artistic licence and re-interpreted the script and credits. Such as it is.
Find someone who, despite reason and overwhelming scientific data does not believe that climate change is real and happening due to human industry.
Trans. Find someone who, despite all our best efforts to hide the decline and play silly buggers with fudged data, does not believe that catastrophic climate change is real and happening due to Big Oil.
Attempt to talk with the climate skeptic.
Trans. Tell him he’s a denier and a Big Oil shill. Inform him that he and all the other climate criminals will die horribly, consumed by Gaia’s wrath, unless they repent and join the Church of CAGW.
Use solid logic, hard data and openness.
Trans.See this graph linking the rise of CO2 with the catastrophic rise in temperature? We call it the Hockey Stick graph and it’s all the proof you will ever need that AGW is real and is happening right now…
If your skeptic is unwavering, misguided and illogical, and your attempt fails…
Trans. If the heretic fails to accept the Holy Goracle into his life…
The next best thing to do is to strangle him or her.
Trans. We’ll reserve 10:10’s Big Red Button as the last resort.
Place your hand upon the skeptic’s neck.
Trans. He’ll be too stupid and stunned to kick you in the fork in self defence as you attempt strangulation. Honest.
Instant slo mo replay
Trans. I can’t believe the denier just kicked me in the fork!
As politely as possible, choke some sense into the skeptic.
Trans: But only if you are not busy curling into a politely agonising foetal ball on the ground.
Disclaimer to skeptics and non: Don’t be a fool. Please do not actually strangle anyone.
Trans. Okay. Okay. I’m a fool. I’m sorry I tried to strangle you. Please do not kick me in the fork a second time.
Happy April Fool’s Day
Trans. I was only joking. Honestly!
No climate skeptics were killed in the making of this film.
Trans. No one told me they could kick like a team of mules!
Special thanks Phelim McAleer
It was him! He made me do it, I swear! What’s that? He’s a skeptic too and adding his name to this travesty of a film was a load of unfunny satirical bollocks? Uh, Stranglegate anyone?
They believe they are all so immensely intelligent and superior and the “ordinary” person is not, that they can win the argument by scare tactics alone. They have been doing this for over 20 years and it hasn’t given them total victory. This might suggest to a person of only average intelligence that, just possibly, it was the wrong tactic and they should try and engage using the science behind CAGW. I wonder why don’t they do that
Nope. Strange to say, repellent snuff videos produced by sick minds make no impact whatever on my perception of a complete lack of evidence for their god. They do, however, tend to confirm my opinion that what will follow when the globalist scum makes its eventual bid for absolute power is going to be very ugly indeed. I suppose we should give them one point for honesty about how they perceive the human race.
If you believed you had made an unassailable case for an issue, would you need to resort to this sort of tactic?
I see this as propaganda put out by an increasingly desparate and, as is becoming apparent across the political world, increasingly marginalised and irrelavent cause.
The greenies are being abandoned by governments and they don’t like it. As the thermometer continues to undermine their case with inconvenient data they will become even more desparate. It will be fun to watch.
The lack of good Samaritans willing to help the chap is the psychological equivalent of actively pressing a button to make is head explode.
A repeat of 10:10 and WWF’s 9/11 morally unacceptable ads.
They don’t learn do they.
Its at times like this when I take a long term view and realise that the warmista are on an evolutionary cul-de-sac = dead end.
Why……
What is a basic requirement/necessity for any successful boy/girl man/woman relationship?
Clue….
Check out any lonely heart classified section or interweb dating site and what are ALL the girls looking for..
Ans= a GSOH good sense of humour
And this is where the warmista always fail, badly. 10:10 was put together by a supposed ‘comedy writer’ What a Total Fail. Being all serious and emotional and caring etc etc might get you the occasional ‘sympathy sh@g’ but its not going to make very much bacon. That’s why they’re becoming so increasingly frustrated.
warmista are like pandas, ultimately doomed.
All revolting in their own way but the first guy deserves to burn because of his bad acting.
The take home message is don’t accept ad agencies that offer to work pro-bono. You never get more than your money’s worth, so if you pay zero…
