Australian Climate Change Group Compares Coal Mining To Paedophilia
[BREITBART] An Australian climate change lobby group has faced a backlash after creating a billboard advert comparing coal miners to paedophiles. The ad was one of a number of possible images posted onto the Facebook page of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition as part of a competition to choose a poster to be displayed at Brisbane airport next month when world leaders fly in to meet for the G20 Summit, but was pulled from the site after followers branded the advert as "sick".The poster featured a note reading "Dear world leaders, don't let the coal lobby get their dirty hands on our future. Yours sincerely, young people and future generations". Next to the note is the face of a young girl looking alarmed with a man's hands, dirty with coal dust, clamped over her mouth. The poster immediately came under fire. One twitter user commented "This is sick! comparing paedophilia with hardworking coal mining Australians," the Daily Mail has reported. Others posted negative comments on the AYCC's facebook page, and the Liberal backbencher George Christensen laid into the AYCC, branding them "environutbags". The furore prompted the AYCC to remove the poster from the competition, writing on its Facebook page "We have removed an entry from the competition after concerns were raised about the content." Nonetheless, the group continues to lobby Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to put climate change on the agenda at the G20 next month, when guests including Barack Obama If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon... and Vladimir Putin  ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead...will discuss a range of global topics. Abbott has so far declined, insisting that a discussion on climate change would be better served at a separate international forum. Posted by: Fred 2014-10-28 |
