Climate curmudgeons
Fascinated today to hear that the UK government is reported as being in dock with it's own advertising standards agency over a climate change advisory.
The ad is above. Apparently almost 400 people have complained. If this ad ran in America, Limbaugh and Beck would have blue fits, and tens of thousands would complain.
But that's not to say it isn't a terribly effective and even quite clever ad, in which I agree with most of the main points.
Although I think the drowning puppy was a bit OTT.
Anyway, see for yourself. And circulate. Circulate widely.
I'm sorry to have to say that the number of spam comment postings has required that we turn off anonymous comment posting. There's been a massive boom in what seems like computer-automated spam comments with links to web pages that advertise cheap, nasty, bad-for-you products, mostly cigarettes.
From now on, you'll have to be a registered user to comment on this blog.
If you had something you wanted to say, but really didn't want your name attached to it for some good reason, you should email Mick at mwomersley@unity.edu
I'll protect your confidentiality and post your comment for you.
