By WUWT regular “Just The Facts”
Correction: This video appears to be associated with the William J Clinton Foundation versus the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) as was previously stated.
Updated Below – New “The Air-Conditioned Suit” video surfaces
“‘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…
I like the fact they suggest reasoned discussion first. I’ve tried that with a few and am always surprised at the low level of knowledge and reason I’m up against. I then end up feeling like a bully as they appear to be on the brink of tears. Usually ends with me denying their last ditch attempt to get me to agree to Pascals gambit. And that’s not even devoted members of the cult. It’s all very weird the desperate desire to believe this junk.
They should be sued for promoting violence.
Anthony,
This video reminds me immediately of the Inquisition’s death sentence by burning at the stake. It would be great to associate this to this Religious practice of the past, that burnt thousands of people.
For those of you that don’t know about it, please read the two links below, from Wikipedia. The “autos-de-fé” are probably not so far from now, and they are already being enforced in our schools… When you get through them, just remind that one of the words that people would use when being burnt is “agua”, or water, the exact same words used in the skeptic video…

just like hansen….oil producer ( THEY, them) are culprits oil consumers ( we , us) are victims…greenpeace way of thinking…
we are the good ones whatever we “do”, we think good,and whatever do the opponents they think bad…
thinking good instead of thinking right…
This way of thinks leads to violence against the “bad ones”…
Repent, sinners, lest ye burn!
Ha ha- it’s funny. Were thetwo round things the guy’s eyeballs? Why didn’t they self-combust too?
That just makes me want to go armed more and more.
Wow. I touched a nerve. This is fun. Keep it going.
How childish and tasteless. Only true believers with a bad sense of humor will like this – so what was the point again? Is the WWF using money on this junk? I used to think of them as a serious protector of wildlife, but their wholesale adaption of AGW religion has made them into a really ugly beast 🙁
ClimateChangeInitiative.com that the video refers to redirects to the “William J. Clinton Foundation”, alas the Bill Clinton Foundation???
Gosh, am I seeing something wrong?

Just one step away from burning heretics at the stake. Just like in the good old days when bad weather and other mishaps such as failed harvests where blamed to be caused by those who did not strictly follow the teachings of Holy Roman Catholic church.
All we need now is that one of those bozo’s starts writing his own version of the Malleus Maleficarum. … Oh they already do at the IPCC.
The bottom line is if they’re reduced to using this sort of tactic to try to convince, rather than simply state their evidence-supported case, then it reveals there’s something fundamentally flawed in their case. Otherwise they’d present the ‘overwhelming’ evidence for it, wouldn’t they…
Conclusion; they’re losing the arguement because the EVIDENCE is not falling in their favour. And they know it.
considering the violent tone and the obvious religiopolitical leaning.
#occupyskeptics should be what we can call these sociopaths now.
hey, they think we are only 1% of the scientific world. it all fits.
…but dont you see ? Theres no time for reasoning & argument. What matters is , if the alarmists are wrong it doesnt matter, while if the skeptics are wrong we’ll have left it too long. If we dont act now we’re all gonna fry. OMG.
That is the ballpark thinking the alarmists are depending on in most of the population.
Well when you threaten their main revenue stream and their main connection to global influence they are going to bite back. I guess we must be having an impact then…….
They just can’t resist trotting out the laughably weak straw man argument that skeptics/climate realists think that climate change is fake. We know that natural climate change is real, it is the much-hyped manmade climate change which is a fraud, and which most certainly does need people to Believe in it, or else it collapses into a pile of dust. Not unlike the man at the end of the video.
The video itself appears to be a direct appeal to the sensibilities of teenaged or 20-ish males, with the pretty female “bystander”, the “eyeballs” magically surviving the self-immolation and dropping comically to the pavement to be kicked by said pretty female, and the obligatory blaring rock music at the end.
Science and truth are winning the battle against pseudoscience and Belief, and they hate that.
We’er going to see more of this kind of emotional propaganda as Durban approaches. I love it when the latest ‘studies’ are released around this time as well, they are hilarious. Durban will be the biggest failure of them all, I would not be surprised if Al Gore himself finds an excuse not to attend. He’ll have the flu or something. Just watch.
I can’t wait for Durban. I can’t wait.
‘Each year in the United States fires kill more American’s than all natural disasters combined.’
Hmm so the WWF argument goes we have to stop the natural disasters?? by destroying humanity and all we have achieved but as for the fires we have now that are killing people every day and that can prevent now that they find funny??
Jerks !!
Man these guys settled science arguments are killing me
Puerile!
Six Steps . . . .
Step 1 – have a ‘climate prophet*’ employed by the US government (James Hansen) say, “In my opinion, these CEOs [of fossil energy companies] should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature.”
Step 2 – have a former US Vice President (Gore) get quoted in all major world news outlets that skeptics of AGW are shills for big oil. Ditto every ideological environmentalist group in the world chanting the same. Ditto some climate scientists promoting AGW.
Step 3 – have ideological environmental groups make videos showing violence toward skeptics in in their AGW advocacy.
Step 4 – have AGW advocates laugh and say it was just being humor when the show skeptics getting hurt
Step 5 – have Australian news media suggest such things as tattooing skeptics or gassing them.
Step 6 – have most MSM enviro journals defend with moral justification all of the above in a harmonized apologist choir
In the future you can be sure if some legally sanctioned violence is implemented on AGW skeptics, then most of the public will say in shocked horror, “I did not believe they really meant it.” If that happens then history will be repeating itself, sadly.

“and we shouldn’t wait until it’s too late to see this truth, and act.”
Acting with what kind of solutions??? At this moment in time there are no real solutions which can reduce carbon emissions.
I posted this on Youtube.
“Empirical scientific proof (through their own propaganda) of how misanthropic, anthropological global climate change enthusiasts actually are.
This is what happens kids when people run out of rational scientific arguments.”
I also gave it a thumbs down and gave a thumbs up to the sceptical voices of sanity on that page.
Very Disapointing, why would 2 intelligent respectable scientists people, choose this quote from the article and retweet it to their followers.. Do they endorse it, condemn it.. or just merely pass on for information….
Highly selective quotes, reveal intention? perhaps..

Hey Mike, the only nerve you touched with your video was my funny bone and I’m definitely laughing at you, not with you. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to understand that every time the AGW side produces videos of this type it’s just reinforcing my belief that the AGW types are totally misguided. AGW isn’t about who can produce the best propaganda videos, it’s about science. Produce some actual evidence and reasonable people will follow. Until then, you’re just a bunch of hot air.
