Rush Limbaugh: “World Wildlife Fund Exploits Children in Propaganda Video.”
Hey, it’s progress of a sort: at least they’re not exploiting 9/11 this time around.
For a look at another ad that exploits kids to promote global “warming” awareness — and gosh, isn’t that something we need more of, huh? — click here.

I don’t know if this is exploitation or not. It probably is, at least in some marginal sense.
But one thing I DO know is this: as an adult, there is very little that I pay less attention to than the pontificating of young children on matters political and scientific.
Are they supposed to be authority figures on climate change? I can’t imagine so. Yet here they are, telling me what’s going to happen to the planet.
So why use the kids at all?
Apparently because the facts by themselves won’t suffice to move us to action. Which means one of two things:
1) Either the authors of this message think we’re idiots who can’t reason to the right conclusion and thus need to be pulled along by our heartstrings; or
2) The authors of this message know that their arguments are no damn good on their own.
Either way, color me unimpressed.
