Another p**s boiling Co2 advert from The Ministry of Truth

[gib6933]

I see there is another p**s boiling Co2 advert.

This one is saying that the car is the worst offender!

I don't think they realise how much these patronising and blatently untrue adverts are turning people off

I don't think you realise how many people in this country believe everything the TV tells them!


This stuff IS working mate...THAT is the problem. Otherwise intelligent people at work have been increasingly critical of my choice of cars...

I think I might just go and start the car, and leave it running for the hell of it.

I have had that too. It is quite funny challenging them on it though with the arguments about 2 of my vehicles do over 40mpg, another 2 do over 70mpg and that as the other two cars are older it is more environmentally friendly maintaining older cars than buying new ones with all their associated resource hungry (i.e. CO2 generating!) manufacturing environmental costs.

That usually shuts them up as they have not actually thought enough about it to give any kind of coherent counter argument.

Jees, MODS this is Politics not TV!

I swear they are moving these threads just to wind us up.

the thread content is about the government and its MMGW spin its not a tv subject ffs

using the mods logic every news story shown on the six oclock news should be moved to the TV section.

[Ace-T]

I have asked for it to be put in politics via the report button.

I'm getting the idea that the MODS only read the titles, that or they are anti car/pro Co2 propaganda.

Must be where I work then, engineers tend to be a bit more pragmatic although there is one guy who fell for the hype, he gets really despondant when I tell him my 120 has better mpg than his Prius

I am amazed the Mods have listened to us

Are you sure its an enviromental thing or just ignorance, do they all say "Here comes the flash tt in his Ferrari?"

[crmcatee]

Oh dear not another wrongly based propaganda advert we need to complain about..


I'm a bad boy today - decided to go for a run to see a mate.. Mmmm Take a vehicle that does 23mpg (good in my household) or take one that does 12 on a good day. To spite them the choice was the one that does 12.

Houses are the biggest contributor aren't they? There was a report recently that said that keeping a medium sized dog as a pet had twice the carbon pawprint of the average 4x4 SUV too.

The average cow puts out more greenhouse gas than a a range rover doing 15k miles a year. Remove the engine from your humvee, have it towed by a couple of cows, and save a fortune. The downsside is you'll kill a baby polar bear every 200 metres...

Coincidence - just reading this thread as local radio says drive five miles less a week to save the planet.

The level of muppetry is certainly increasing as we get closer to the Nohopenhagen climate beanfeast.

Indeed, and it's the next area to be taxed - hence the HIPS reports.

Yep, along with all the reports that "we're all going to die if we don't get a strong agreement at Copenhagen"... Just softening people up for the severe taxes that they want to impose to ensure communism is abound.

Yes indeed. The HIPS Energy Assessments are derived from Kyoto via the EU.

When the illegitimate Son of Kyoto is (not) agreed in Nohopenhagen this December, there will be other means devised of taxing the bejesus out of us.

Remember this? Buying and owning designer clothes, gardening equipment and tools, glassware and kitchen kit, audio-visual recreational equipment and cars is killing the planet. These should all be hired, not owned, according to the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP).
