The worst glooball warmening scare video yet? Oh, BTW, chimps ain't monkeys!


A chimpanzee launched into space returns to earth in 2026 to discover that the whole place is uninhabitable due to global warming:

This is even worse than that time we had all the poley bear rain. Or when English cartoon puppies drowned. Or even when the animals went all suicidal. It might be the worst warming video ever:

Leo Burnett Sydney and director Steve Rogers have created a moving new film for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), which tells the story of an original space monkey who returns to Earth after being lost in space for decades. The film features a new music track by musician Ben Lee called ‘Song for the Divine Mother of the Universe’, and ‘Space Monkey’ will air as both a music video to launch the single, and a long format cinema spot.

They don’t know their critters. As Andrew Bolt points out, a chimp ain’t a monkey. Chimps eat monkeys.

Guy with luxury home etc thinks poor people are happier

Of course the hypocritical wanker works for the WWF. And gee, the environmental protection racket obviously pays well!

Let's see, lives on Madagascar in a luxury home, has a $35,000 boat and sends his kids to boarding school in South Africa.

His "job" with the WWF is to oppose things like a coal mine that would give his happy little poor people a decent job themselves, and a chance to earn a decent wage for themselves and their families (though obviously no where near as much as he earns to keep them poor).

According to the WWF, this team will ensure that "government decision makers and political leaders worldwide lead the world towards a future using a cleaner energy supply."

However, can we really take these experts seriously?

In their previous documentary "Mine Your Own Business," Ann and Phelim interviewed Mark Fenn, WWF's Madagascar representative, who was leading the fight against a coal-mining project that would have provided 2,000 jobs to the impoverished village.

In "Mine Your Own Business," Fenn stated that people are happy to be living such impoverished lives. He believes they do not place a value on education, so lacking money to pay for their children's schooling is not a top priority or concern.

This, of course, couldn't be further from the truth. The average salary for people in Madagascar is a meager $100 per month, making it extremely difficult for parents to send their sons and daughters to school.

"Mine Your Own Business" featured George, an unemployed miner from Romania who thought he knew about poverty but was shocked when he saw the level of deprivation in Madagascar.

He asked Fenn the question that all humanitarians should ask, "What about the people who are very poor?"

Fenn's response has since become infamous around the world. He said that for poor people, measuring how often someone smiles is more important than wealth.

Okay, so this pretentious dickhead would be more than willing to give up the home and the boat and the private education of his children, because they'd be happier and would smile more?

I don't think so.

I think he is full of shit.

While Exxon-Mobil pays $23 million to sceptics...


...billions and billions and billions of dollars flows the other way.
 
 
And this doesn't count the billions of dollars in income that the marketers of fear like Greenpeace and the WWF have made in trading on climate change concerns.
 
The WWF internationally took only five years up to around 2005 to make over $2 billion US. Greenpeace took twice as long to make a similar amount of money.
 
Extraordinary amounts of money in anybody's language.
 
As I understand though, the WWF no longer publishes its accounts online. Wonder why?
 
And yet it is the chicken feed handed out by Exxon-Mobil that everybody talks about.
 
Ask yourself this though, who has all of the high-profile and very well paid spokespeople? It isn't the sceptics is it?
 
Here in Australia the only people who's full time job it is to speak and lobby about climate change, whether for Greenpeace or the WWF or the Climate Institute etc, are all on the alarmist side.
 
Whereas the sceptics are either that unusual beast, a conservative journalist like Andrew Bolt or people, very often retired, blogging in their spare time.
 
There are powerful transnational interests seeking to influence the debate on climate change, (or more accurately, seeking to prevent any debate), which are very well funded. They are Greenpeace, the WWF and similar organisations.
