UK Govt climate change ads banned

The Daily Mail reports:

Two government which use nursery rhymes to warn of the dangers of climate change have been banned for exaggerating the threat.

Commissioned by Energy Secretary , the adverts are based on children's poems Jack and Jill and Rub-A-Dub-Dub and assert that climate change will cause flooding and drought.

The Standards Agency (ASA) ruled the adverts – which attracted 939 complaints – made exaggerated claims which went beyond mainstream scientific consensus.

The proponents of man-made global warming are basically their own worst enemies. If they didn't feel the need to over-state the position and scare-monger, then there wouldn't be such a backlash against them.

The news that the Government's own advertisements were so unbalanced, as to be banned, will just drive thousands more people towards the view that it is all a crock of shit – even if it is not.
