Now we're getting somewhere!
From an article in London's Daily Telegraph:
This is a real first, and will matter more in the end (for Britain) than anything the politicians say or do. For many years "global warming" has been a constant theme in TV and radio advertising, and not just in PSA's. Every Useful Idiot Corporation has hopped on the bandwagon, trying to pin the halo of climate change onto every consumer product.
When you hear a "fact" from the lips of politicians, you're able to think about it and make up your own mind. Most people don't, but at least it's mentally possible. All-pervasive propaganda is nearly impossible to resist. When ads for beer and shampoo allude to the "settled science" of "global warming", it becomes part of your unconscious mindset no matter how much you disagree.
Unfortunately America doesn't have an equivalent to Clearcast, so our ads will continue to carry fanatical and ubiquitous propaganda for the genocidal Planet Goddess. ¶ 7:14 AM
The Government's latest climate change advert is being investigated by the advertising watchdog after triggering 785 complaints from the public.
It has also been disclosed that the Government's chief scientist, John Beddington, was forced to defend controversial claims in the television campaign, which features a father reading his daughter a frightening bedtime story about global warming.
Clearcast, the body that vets adverts, questioned the scientific evidence used in the campaign. Part of its role is to ensure controversial topics are kept impartial
Dr Beddington and Robert Watson, the energy department's main scientific adviser, responded to Clearcast with a furious letter leaked to Channel 4 news, which states: "We are both surprised and disturbed that the premise of the television campaign is being questioned, given the incontrovertible nature of the science that underpins the campaign material."
