Climate Change TV Ads Banned as ‘Propaganda’
The Environment Minister of Northern Ireland, Sammy Wilson, called British TV ads on climate change ‘propaganda’ and banned them.
The TV ads were made by the British government and are part of their ‘Act on CO2′ campaign which encourages citizens to reduce their consumption of electricity and fossil fuels. You can view the ads on the Directgov website (Requires Flash Player). The first ad ‘Standby’ doesn’t reference climate change that much. It does appear to emphasize reducing electricity consumption to save money for a family, and a narrator states that turning off appliances could save 300 British pounds per year.
