What is this video trying to say ? How is this going to persuade anyone to cut their carbon emissions ? Does it make you sit up and listen or dig your heels in ?
Education can be the most powerful tool in the fight. I just see this as extreme.
No pressure ? Doesn't look like it to me. I think its a step too far.
Test video Video
Warning; the video is very violent

I don't know who's idea this was. Is it shown on TV? If so I think the switchboards will be inundated with complaints! Maybe it isn't on TV - because it has been vetoed.
I have mixed feelings about all this 'saving' the planet with reducing carbon emissions. It would be more to the point if the forests were saved. Trees need carbon, so nature will take care of that. Humans need oxygen, so we need trees because they give off oxygen.
That video is using gratuitous violence to try and make a point, but all they are doing is churning peoples' stomachs ! Any message is, I'm afraid, lost because of this. IMO.

I think the message is quite clear.
When trying to use the "education and encouragement" no one seems to care, that's the message. Other than that I thought it was a bit comical but indeed far too graphical for my liking.
Show of hands, who chuckled?

I didn't...I cringed at all the blood which made me forget the message and feel sorry for the ones that were left.....all covered in blood and guts....yuck
Maybe if they could fine an alternative way of dealing with the 'disenters'...oh I don't know....maybe other have some suggestions.

I agree with Lars - someone out to hurt the environmentalist's position - no matter how must they protest otherwise.
