I just stumbled upon this (may contain disturbing images):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UHN3zHoYA0
It's a video about the "10:10 campaign" that encourages people to cut
their carbon footprints by 10%, with a rather remarkable punishment for
those who aren't willing to do so.
This isn't a small-time production, either. It's directed by the guy
who directed The Age of Stupid, it's written by the screenwriters that
wrote "Four Weddings", it has a soundtrack provided by Radiohead, and it
has a cameo by Gillian Anderson of X Files fame.
While I'm not blind to the humor involved, is this really the message we
want to get across? Play ball or die? I mean, I'm willing to conserve
energy and reduce gasoline usage without death threats. I just don't
think that "climate change" is necessarily the Armageddon it's made out
to be, and this makes me wonder about the people pushing that particular
agenda.
Anyway, take a look and let us know what you think.

P. S. I'm *really* hoping that Ted didn't get issued one of those red
buttons...
