"If You Pollute I Will Literally Kill You" - The BBC

"If You Pollute I Will Literally Kill You" - The BBC

It's a pretty strong message, but hey that's what this series of BBC ads would make you believe.



Don't let the insufferable accents get you, watch the whole thing through.

So the notion is you reduce 10% of your toxic lifestyle and you wont have 100% of your blood splattered all over the place. Makes you wonder what impact the cleaning products needed to clean up that mess make on the environment.

By now you would think that the ad was banned. It wasn't. The ad was pulled by the people who published it because some folks found it offensive. Imagine that! But it's not like any of that matters in this modern era where anything and everything shows up on the internet and controversy like this is a form of publicity you can't pay enough for to get the sort of attention you will when something is "Edgy" like this is.

Besides, much like global warming, there's no such thing as bad publicity. Ha! See what I did there? If anything, Climate change isn't happening fast enough and we're not killing enough people to help prevent the global destruction that we are doing daily.

There's a better version that I think is a much nicer solution to ending global warming and environmental chaos...



Yup, that's right. I want to kill everyone. It's a more accurate solution to global warming.

Maybe you're telling yourself that these ads are far too violent. Why would anyone want to spread the message of being kind to the environment or else you will be killed by someone else with a little red button.

If anything, I think maybe we can go even further with the ads. I heard probably the best climate change ad possible.

The ad would start with a young Jewish person being freed from a concentration camp and while they're look upon the U.S. soldiers crying her eyes out, she would say "Why did no one do anything to prevent this"... We cut to 100 years later and a young girl tearfully gazes upon the camera while the atmosphere behind her changes to show a tidal wave heading towards her and the nameless city. Right before the wave hits, you see tears stream down her cheek before they boil away and she winces in pain saying "Why did no one do anything to prevent this?"

At that moment we go to black and hear a loud crashing sound.

Yup.. now that would be an ad. Oh yeah, poor Gillian Anderson. Does a PSA ad and then gets blown up. The truth is still out there, yo.

Global Warming - Fuck It

Global Warming - Fuck It

A name you don't recognize nor probably ever even heard of before is James Lovelock. Who is he? Well, he's the guy that wrote Gaia theory and has been a big face in climate change prevention. So if anything you would think he would be a little concerned about the potential of global warming, right?

Nah, at this point he's saying Fuck it.

Lovelock: 'We can't save the planet'
Professor James Lovelock, the scientist who developed Gaia theory, has said it is too late to try and save the planet.

The man who achieved global fame for his theory that the whole earth is a single organism now believes that we can only hope that the earth will take care of itself in the face of completely unpredictable climate change.

Interviewed by Today presenter John Humphrys, videos of which you can see below, he said that while the earth's future was utterly uncertain, mankind was not aware it had "pulled the trigger" on global warming as it built its civilizations.

What is more, he predicts, the earth's climate will not conveniently comply with the models of modern climate scientists.

As the record winter cold testifies, he says, global temperatures move in "jerks and jumps", and we cannot confidently predict what the future holds.

Prof Lovelock does not pull his punches on the politicians and scientists who are set to gain from the idea that we can predict climate change and save the planet ourselves.

Scientists, he says, have moved from investigating nature as a vocation, to being caught in a career path where it makes sense to "fudge the data".

I can't say I'm all that surprised, really. I've sort of been expecting comments like this for a while now. People moving from "let's try and limit the impact", to "it's too late, fuck it". Especially after the huge failure of copenhagen. There appears to be more and more public skepticism towards Global warming. Especially in the UK after the email leaks from the UEA.



Add in that environmental policy has been totally eclipsed due to the recession. I've not seen any mention of climate change since the email leaks. As the feeling of inevitability catches on, is it correct to assume international cooperation's will also shrink, as nations try to protect their interests regardless of anything else.

"fuck it."

So there you have it. The official response by someone of Al Gore level importance to this movement. Who cares, You'll be dead in 60 or so years if you're of the age that you're reading this blog and nothing will matter. You may think that it's a pretty selfish mind set to have on the matter, but let's be realistic here - It's true.

Besides, most of you will be republicans shortly after you start your careers so you can join the rest who never really gave a shit anyway. We have to face the reality that we never had a chance. I mean, I appreciate that people tried and that's great, but let's be real here. Fuck it.



I mean, it's poor retards that caused it in the first place, they will be the ones dealing with the fact that they can't afford to live in the protection dome. I'll just be investing in AIG and Exxon, getting rich and raising my asshole kids to continue my shit legacy in this new and amazing water world.

You mean that capitalism... can't solve problems?! I'm shocked! I really don't think Loyelock holds much scientific sway, but I think the general shift in sentiment is interesting. Also he has been a trend setter, at least in the UK. According to a recent survey of Climate scientist with at least a PHD, 83.6% now agree with the statement "Duuuuude we are soooo fucked".

If the human race is worth preserving it will preserve itself. If humans actually aren't going to survive wouldn't the next step be attempting to create some sort of permanent record of our existence. You could fit most real important literature onto a decent sized hard drive along with basic pictorial guides to major languages and a bunch of historical records and photographs for whoever comes along next, though I guess they'd have to have some way to interface with it and I have no idea how to preserve such a thing. I think that's called a National Geographic box set.



On second thought, how about we just go out in style. Let the next douchebags figure out shit on their own. Once we start to build domed cities, none of this will matter anyways. There's one dude, Bueno-whatshisname, that has the statistical model that predicts stuff with over 90% accuracy saying we'll definitely fail to solve climate change because of how awful political systems are.

Don't be too sad, check out Life After People on Hulu and take comfort that long after we've stopped existing and destroying the planet, it'll live on and be a better place. The best part is when they press some biologist to predict what will evolve and he's like "Uh.. I don't know, I mean, that's not really a question science can ans--" then they cut to the film and he looks all flustered and he's like "well, I GUESS maybe there'd be uh... flying...cats?" then they cut to a CG sequence of gliding cats flaying between skyscrapers.



There was a pretty bad ass show called "The Future is Wild" that aired a few years ago that had all sorts of speculative future animals, it went pretty far into the future too, like 200 million years. I'm guessing it was by the same FX company and they just had a lot of footage left over.

The best ones was the Squibbon. These are descended from squid, which have successfully invaded the land. They are an arboreal species that live in simple structures built in the treetops, capitalizing on their natural dexterity and acute stereoscopic vision.

"Eats: Forest flish

Eaten by: Megasquid"

Ah yes, I know, The evolutionary consultant was Billy, age 5. I mean, I know 4/20 was a couple of days ago, but you should really get ripped as fuck and watch it. It's fucking hilarious. So yeah, that's Earth Day in a nut shell.

Here Comes The Sun.... Chips

Here Comes The Sun.... Chips

Whenever I think of chips I generally think of Doritos because those are one of my weaknesses. If I have just one nacho cheese Doritos chip I'll finish the god damn bag. So I try not to have them all that often. I really shouldn't eat those while I attempt to lose weight, like the rest of the country does leading into Summer.

That's why when I think of a healthy alternative to chips, I think Sun Chips. How could you not look at them and think that they are the healthier option. They must really be good with their marketing department. Now I guess I could add one more reason why I would buy Sun Chips when I'm at the market and the option of chips comes up.. Because they're good for the environment.

You see, Sun Chips now come in a nice compost friendly bag. It's a new packaging that allows them to just melt into the environment. Here, check out the ad for it;


Pretty neat idea, don't you think? Now when I go on a picnic I can feel even more connected to the environment by at least not having something that will ruin the area I'm enjoying. Though there's no promises that it wont ruin my body. They may be the healthier alternative, but they're still unneeded fat causing devices.

But it's nice to see this sort of responsibility from a company. It's nice to think that junk food isn't unhealthy for everything that it touches. These bags will break down and not be a complete mess in the ground. Though I have one major complaint about them. That is that they're extremely loud.


Yes, these are extremely loud. I mean, really, really loud. Just touching them at the market should give you the tip off that they are when the people in the next isle over are trying to figure out what all that crumpling sound is.

I'm not even joking, these bags are really super loud. Which is sort of a reason why I don't think I would like to buy them for every instance. I sort of want to be able to hear the other person I'm talking to at a picnic instead of hearing the crumbling and fumbling of the bag of chips. Not to mention movie theaters. How the hell am I suppose to sneak this into a screening of something to avoid buying overprice shit at the concession stand if every inch they move gives their sneaky spot away?



Someone should have thought of these negative factors before they just ran off with the idea that the plastic breaks down easily. It seems like one of those mistakes like dropping peanut butter in chocolate and coming up with an amazing combination. What's the good of chips if you can't really carry them around without causing such a loud sound? It may not be pollution in the form of plastic on the ground, but what you are doing is causing noise pollution of the worse kind with these chips.

But it does raise a good question. Isn't the fact that you're advertising these bags as completely compostible actually encouraging people to just litter? I mean, yeah, under the correct compost preparation they will break down and not be totally destroy the are you dump your trash in, but how many people actually have compost heaps?



The real thing they should be advertising is how long it will take to break down in an actual real world situation, like say, in your regular local dump. I think we shouldn't be letting people in on the fact that something can break down so easily. They'll think they're already doing enough and not go that extra step and make sure that they really are doing all they can do.

It's easy to see in this study on what happens when you allow people to think they are already doing enough for the environment.

PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans are less worried about each of eight specific environmental problems than they were a year ago, and on all but global warming and maintenance of the nation's fresh water supply, concern is the lowest Gallup has measured. Americans worry most about drinking-water pollution and least about global warming.

Over time, Americans' concerns about environmental problems have generally declined. After this year's drop, for six of the eight items, the percentage who worry "a great deal" is at the lowest point Gallup has measured, which in some cases dates to 1989. The two exceptions are global warming (low point was 24% in 1997) and maintenance of the nation's fresh water supply for household needs (35% in 2001).

One major reason Americans may be less worried about environmental problems is that they perceive environmental conditions in the United States to be improving.

The decline in worry over time has been rather dramatic for some of these threats. For example, in 1989, 72% of Americans said they worried a great deal about pollution of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Worry about this environmental issue averaged 62% in the 1990s, 54% in the 2000s, and is 46% today

So it seems that when we do good for the environment, then we're less inclined to do any better because we're already doing something.. sadly that something is just not enough. It's a little sad to see that concern about climate change has gone up, but I think we'll gradually see that dropping away as politicians lose interest and the public returns to the serious issues.. like who is on the next season of Dancing with the Stars.



It should come to no surprise that green products make us less concerned about the environment. It's already proven that green products make us less kind to each other.

Hell, it's already proven that green products make us less kind to each other.

Do Green Products Make Us Better People?, a paper in the latest edition of the journal Psychological Science, argues that those who wear what the authors call the “halo of green consumerism” are less likely to be kind to others, and more likely to cheat and steal. Faced with various moral choices – whether to stick to the rules in games, for example, or to pay themselves an appropriate wage – the green participants behaved much worse in the experiments than their conventional counterparts. The short answer to the paper’s question, then, is: No. Greens are mean.

The authors, two Canadian psychologists, came up with an intriguing explanation for this. “Virtuous acts,” they write, “can license subsequent asocial and unethical behaviour.” It’s the yin-yang theory of psychology, or “compensatory ethics”, to give it its proper name

Ha ha! We just can't win. No matter how far we try to run from it, the ugly truth is that human beings are just plain and simply awful people. Completely and utterly awful in every way possible. Let's just burn it all down till it's nothing but ashes and dust. Fuck this world, or at the very least fuck us! We can't live together. We're like a broken relationship where neither party wants to call it off and right now Earth is simply trying to turn off the gas and electric so that we'll die of global warming.

But hey, at least after we're all dead there wont be a single proof of Sunchips for the future advanced civilized creatures to dig up and wonder what exactly our diet consisted off. Fuck those future selves.
