Th UK Government has lost all sense of realism and decency. As a father of two young children myself, I’d like to smack the person(s) responsible for this upside the head and say “what were you thinking!”.

Even normally pro AGW Nature calls it the Worst. Climate. Campaign. Ever. Watch this.

Nature writes:

The UK government has decided to convince us all that climate change is real. To this end it is spending £6 million on a prime time advertising campaign featuring a father reading a bedtime story about the evil carbon dioxide monster created by grown ups which is making rabbits cry.

In an article in the Register, Andrew Orlowski points out that even the UK Met office doesn’t go this far:

Met Office climate modeller Vicky Pope has said apocalyptic predictions are misleading – “distorting” the perception of climate change. She cited shock-horror press releases about recent Arctic ice melt, which she said could equally be explained by natural variation.

Taxpayers are paying £6m so their children can be scared out of their wits. It’s not Halloween, but a new climate change TV advertising campaign that begins tonight, which features a young girl watching a dog drown.

The dog drowned because the evil father kept their house warm.

This is put together in the EU and here at home by anti humans who want humans to be eliminated from the earth or get them to return to few people in tribes that do not have basic places to live.

The left wing anti humans would also like for the entire human race to be placed in boxes in certain locations so that the rest of the earth would grow into wild anti human weeds.

Looks as though they are winning in the nations of freedom and will lose to the dictators who will place them into their boxes when they take over the world.

Once upon a time, bad grown-ups in Parliament tried to steal money from all the people by making up stories to scare them.

If I still had young children I would use this ad to tell them why they can never trust the government.
