Enviro Groups Retreat From Violent Advocacy Video - NYTimes.com
Green groups are running from a new British advocacy video in which environmentalists deal death to those who refuse to cut their carbon footprints.
---
"I think the idea of a comedy is fine, and even the gore and blood is part of our pop culture," Morano told Greenwire today. "What is not fine, and what is actually very revealing, is that their impulse -- the intellectual strain that runs through the alarmist movement -- is to try to silence their critics.

"They blame a handful of skeptics for ruining all their schemes, and this is them expressing their frustrations," he said.
...
Curtis conceded that the film was off to a shaky start but said he hoped it would not damage the environmental movement.

Now we know exactly how they think !!!
Never forget that this 10:10 group amongst many others is also funded by UK Government agencies including the Carbon Trust and the Energy Saving Trust. If these Quangos, (Quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations), have managements that think like this and have let this outrage happen, they should all have their funding terminated by a government who is trying to save money.
This is especially so when one considers the futility of Man-made Climate Control by the reduction of CO2 emissions.
