Controversial climate change campaign film disgusts to make a point - EiTB News Odds

Makers of the film meanwhile, are more than ready to defend the somewhat extreme nature of the argument. With just four years to stabilise carbon emissions, says the organisation 10:10, the images are intended as a challenge to the 'no pressure' attitude - repeated in each of the scenes - too often displayed by governments and individuals alike:

"There is a shrinking time frame for action on climate change," claims the film, "We hope this mini-movie will get you talking, get you fired up, but most of all inspire you".

Despite this however, many people, including those in favour of cutting carbon emissions feel either bullied or sickened by the film. Others, meanwhile, see the funny side and believe the mini-movie is just what is needed to kick-start people and politicians into reducing their carbon footprint.

The movie goes on release on Saturday October 2nd and will be shown in cinemas and on British television.

EDITORIAL: Bin Laden goes green - Washington Times

Like many global-warming alarmists, bin Laden is cynically exploiting natural disasters to further his anti-Western, leftist agenda. The terrorist's approach is similar to the current faddish notion of "global climate disruption" being pushed by President Obama's science adviser John P. Holdren. In this respect, bin Laden would fit right in at Democratic policy-making sessions. Al Qaeda's leader is no newcomer to the global-warming craze. "Discussing climate change is not an intellectual luxury, but a reality," bin Laden said in January. "All of the industrialized countries, especially the big ones, bear responsibility for the global-warming crisis." That line easily could have been written by Al Gore.
