Does anyone need to advertise gravity? Does anyone "promote" the orbit of the Earth?
The mere use of the words "Advertising" and "Promote" prove that this is a SALES JOB, not science.
Al Gore is pushing an agenda; an agenda to create a Carbon Tax, and "Carbon Credits", a legal fiction to be made mandatory by fiat, which can be bought, sold, brokered, and more importantly, Enronized to the great benefit of those on the inside, such as Al himself....
thereby proving this is all about salesmanship, rather than science." -- Mike Rivero of whatreallyhappened.com
"Gore Group Plans Ad Blitz on Global Warming"
"Former Vice President Al Gore and a nonprofit climate group have begun what they say will be a three-year $300 million advertising blitz to recruit 10 million advocates to seek laws and policies that can cut greenhouse gases.
The campaign was introduced in a “60 Minutes” appearance by Mr. Gore on Sunday. The first ad, posted online at wecansolveit.org, compares the challenge of fighting global warming to the invasion of Normandy and the civil rights movement.
Sigh! Another reason not to watch television!!!
I'm tired of the alarming and false analogies in pursuit of their agenda-push, let me tell you!
That advertisement will start appearing on television Wednesday, according to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a group created by Mr. Gore in 2006. It will be followed by ads tailored to particular audiences and media, including the Internet.
Readers, Rivero has a point: DOES the TRUTH need to be MARKETED?
About half the anticipated budget has been raised from donations, mostly from anonymous benefactors, people involved in the campaign said.
Those who are going to BENEFIT from all this cultish crap, right?
In a presentation on the campaign last week, Cathy Zoi, who heads the alliance and was formerly a Clinton administration environmental aide, said the goal was to replicate the marketing success of enduring public service ad campaigns like the frying egg depicted as “your brain on drugs” and the 1971 advertisement featuring a tearful American Indian considering a polluted landscape.
Yup, a GLOBALIST all right!!!
And MORE BEATING of the PROPAGANDA over the head!!!!
How about SHUTTING DOWN the WAR MACHINE?!?!
Bet that would have a MUCH GREATER EFFECT than some shit-brainwashing campaign!!!!
How come these enviro-types never call for the CEASING of the WAR MACHINE, huh?
John P. Murry Jr., an associate professor of marketing at the University of Iowa who has studied public service advertising, said the campaign might be spending too little.
“I think the global warming project media budget should be 10 times as high,” he said. “Both Coca-Cola and Pepsi spend over a billion dollars each year to promote brand preference for soft drinks. In this light, the $100 million per year to change our lifestyles seems pretty small.”
I love chicken-little here, and THAT'S SICK!!!!
No wonder our kids are so fat over here!
Sucking down the sugar they were BRAINWASHED to love!!!!
C'mon, if ADVERTISING didn't work, would they spend so much on it?
Pollsters and communications experts have noted that the public remains deeply divided along party lines over global warming and that the issue rarely shows up on voters’ lists of worries.
Yeah, we AIN'T BUYING the PROPAGANDA -- not after this BRUTALLY COLD WINTER!!!
Voters are more concerned about a DEPRESSION and ENDLESS WARS of OCCUPATION!!!
That's what we are worried about, not some FALSE CRISIS ginned up by an AGENDA-PUSHING MSM!!!!!
Ms. Zoi said the goal was to recruit people she described as “influentials.” She added: “These are people who talk to five times as many people a day as the typical person, who derive self-esteem from having new information.”
The ads will be coordinated with outreach through organizations like the United Steelworkers union and the Girl Scouts.
So there are the propaganda organs they are going to use, huh?
The Army uses sports, and the global-warming cultists are going to use the Girl Scouts and steelworkers?
Would be kinda cool to see them both show up together at the door, huh?
Steelworker would make you buy the cookies, right?
On various blogs on Monday, reactions ranged from strong support to complaints that the money would be better spent on energy research and that the effort would mainly swell coffers of environmental campaigners and carbon traders."
Hey, we made the New York Times!!!!
Pfffffttttt!!!!
