Anything goes to prove a point with the WWF ! But what point, one wonders?



This video takes a few seconds to load but please be patient and watch it.


I’s an interesting entrée into the mindset of environmental activism. Make what you will of it.

This ad was produced by DDB, Brazil, the video accompaniment to its controversial 9/11-themed WWF print work.
DDB has denied that the spot is theirs. But wait, there's more. The agency entered the spot in Cannes...

So someone was proud of it, so it seems.

Would you respect research financed by self-styled "Animal Lovers"? The IPCC did.


Seems the people who brought you the distasteful video advert above, the WWF, World Wildlife Fund (as was)
have also infested the IPCC Assessment Report 4 with their non-peereviewed propaganda.

"The WWF is cited all over the IPCC AR4 report, and as you know, WWF does not produce peer reviewed science,
they produce opinion papers in line with their vision. Yet IPCC’s rules are such that they are supposed to rely on
peer reviewed science only. It appears they’ve violated that rule dozens of times, all under Pachauri’s watch.



Donna Laframboise, the creator of NOconsensus.org (Toronto, Canada) shows
what one can find in just one day of looking.

Having mentioned up-thread the mindset behind the WWF video minimising the twin towers terror attack in comparison with
a Tsunami, here's another example of the mindset of the committed environmentalist sent up on realclimate:

Rosie Hughes takes the mickey:

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, all this fixation on get-it-right, got-it-wrong is obscuring the real issue:
the truth is what we define it to be, and the truth is that mankind is a scourge on the planet. The sooner we can
limit the right to breed, the sooner the planet will recover. If glacier data is a little incorrect but helps that effort,
then the data is true in all but a very narrow and clinical scientific sense.

Common people don’t really understand science. But they understand not having enough to eat and not being able
to sit down on a too-crowded subway. if we can educate people not to reproduce there will be many
seats and the fewer people will be happier.
Indeed, as the capitalist economies of scale are reduced, the satisfaction from making your own clothes and embracing
a low-carbon vegan diet will be so intense, reproduction will come to be seen in the same category as child abuse.

I yearn for the day when I might not have been born!”

Tackle population growth with birth control policies don't hide behind the ideology of AGW.
After all, CO2 only makes the plants grow, not the population!
