Germany’s Green Bubble Follows Spain’s; Will Congress Waste More Billions on Ours?

How much worse we could possibly see from the industry premised on fear — and, as I pointed out in detail in Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and Deception to Keep You Misinformed, particularly on terrorizing children to affect a statist lifestyle agenda — is beyond me after getting a load of the latest entry by Team Alarmism. h/t Anthony Watts
[Anthony sent this around last night, but I’ve only now moved to post about it, and I now see they’ve taken the offending video down. Possibly in a belated fit of conscience. Or, more likely, seeing it was on its way to backfiring.]
It is [was] very graphic, showing a young person doing what the greens’ minds seem to have already done: explode.
As I have asked before, about all that I put forward in RHL, is this a sign of a campaign that believes, somehow, it is winning? Is it a sign of a campaign that believes it even can win, on the merits? Of course not.
[Update: Here’s the video — J.L.]
UPDATE II: Yep, it was the backfiring part that did it, according to an email they sent to a reader, forwarded to me, which I would quote in pertinent part but my Outlook has just decided to stay down. The upshot was that oddly not everyone got what they intended to be “very funny” (no; but my quip that maybe they had a pang of conscience was, clearly). Here is the Telegraph’s James Delingpole on these slime and their project.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

It shows more than young people exploding. It shows shockingly cold people punching buttons to blow them up. I wanted to post it on my facebook, but friends from church would be horrified if their children saw it, as I would be.

Are they OUT of their freakin' minds!?!? They are showing people being cold-bloodedly murdered if they don't agree with their carbon footprint campaign!!! "No pressure" -- we're just going to KILL YOU if you don't comply! Is this a Freudian slip on their part, showing how they REALLY feel about those who disagree with them??
DVincent| 10.1.10 @ 4:18PM
The Graphic violence and the callous attitudes of the people in power pushing the buttons is the most disturbing thing I've seen in some time (these days that is saying ALOT). What really sickens me is the mindset of the people that made this vile thing. How do you reason with people who think it's ok to blow up school children just because they disagree with your point of view?
Willey| 10.1.10 @ 5:35PM
The point is you can't reason with them, you have to beat them. They are the same kind of heartless people who did the evil bidding of Hitler and Stalin.
That's what happens when people reject God.

Horrific violence is how Islam spread. So why not for environazis?
