The â€œno-pressureâ€ video must surely be the most egregious own-goal scored by either side in the global-warming debate. No, it does not promote eco-fascism. Itâ€™s meant to be humorous; but it has probably done irreparable harm, because climate change skeptics can now cast environmentalists as wild-eyed fanatics (which 99% are not).
Itâ€™s an example of what happens when a bunch of arrogant, self-absorbed pseudo-activists decide that their sanctimonious posturing (and preaching to the converted) is more important than the cause they are supposed to be promoting.
Anyway, the whole 10:10 idea is rubbish. Itâ€™s classic slactivism â€“ giving the punters something to congratulate themselves about while doing nothing worthwhile to address the central issue.
You know, we in TUGs have something useful to offer the extremists on both sides in debates such as this... gags.
Words, like Nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.

Both videos are egregious, but geez.... look at the source website. It's easy to dig up vitriol from either end of the political spectrum. Zealotry from either the far left OR far right is downright scary stuff.
