I see there have been a number of complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority over the government’s £6m climate change campaign, currently airing on TV.
The complainants are split between climate change deniers and people who say the ad frightens children.
I disagree with both sets of whingers. One point one, the overwhelming evidence indicates that climate change is man-made so I’ve little time for the denier squad.
The ASA has accepted this as policy so although it is investigating the ad due to the volume of complaints, hopefully the watchdog will stand firm on this point.
As for viewers saying it frightens their little angels, well sorry but climate change is pretty scary. If the campaign makes this known to a wider audience then surely that should be applauded not denigrated.
