The propaganda just got cranked up a few more notches..

******************************************************
Global Warming

Sponsor Organization: Environmental Defense
Campaign Website: www.fightglobalwarming.com
Volunteer Agency: Ogilvy & Mather, New York

Global Warming. It may seem like an impossible problem: The Arctic ice is melting, storms are becoming fiercer, the resulting climate change is upsetting invaluable ecosystems, and the pollution is damaging our health.

But there is still time. Reversing the trend of global warming trend is possible and depends not only on the efforts of environmental scientists and researchers, governments of all nations, and leaders of business and industry, but just as importantly, it depends on the daily habits of regular people.

It is these regular people that this campaign hopes to inspire. The PSAs take a powerful, emotional approach to reach Americans with the message that global warming is an urgent problem that requires their immediate action.

The PSAs drive audiences to the website www.fightglobalwarming.com. The site provides information on the the causes, science, and consequences of global warming. A large part of the site focuses on what every person can do to reduce their energy consumption and therefore do their part to help slow and reverse global warming.

The campaign launched in March 2006.

Kerry to “Write” Book on Environment

Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) says that he will now “write” a book on the environment. Kerry’s book is tentatively titled “This Moment on Earth.” The senator has called upon his “legions of supporters” to send him their stories and ideas about how ordinary Americans from all walks of life can
have an impact on the environment around them.

“I don’t really have the time or energy to actually write a book myself,” Kerry admitted. “But by combining the hard work of the common people with the marketing power of my name and charisma, I believe we can pull together
a viable product.”

Former Vice-President Al Gore, who has gotten a lot of favorable publicity for his “An Inconvenient Truth” slide show and lecture tour, said he is glad that his efforts have inspired “one of America’s great leaders to see the
light and the need for action. I would have preferred if Senator Kerry had given more explicit credit to those of us who have labored so long to save the planet from the inevitable heat wave and/or icy doom that is about to
overtake us if we don’t take action to head off this terrible uncertainty.”

Kerry said he wasn’t aware that Gore had been working on the topic. “I didn’t know Vice-President Gore had been working on the environment,” Kerry said. “I’d wondered what had become of him after the 2000 election. Well, if he
has any stories he’d like to submit for possible inclusion in my book I’d be happy to take a look at what he has to say. I want people to know that no source is too humble, nor person too insignificant to contribute to my book.”

That would work better to stop the "Global Warming" nonsense.
