Plane Stupid ad: Polar bears falling from the sky

Airline pollution activists Plane Stupid have made this brilliant, hard-hitting ad to show the impact of global warming. You'll probably never see this ad on the telly, so watch it now.

"We have a problem. We're flying too much, and it's changing the earth's climate. Aviation is the fastest growing cause of climate change. But instead of doing anything about it, the Government is planning more flights and larger airports."

    • Where's all the outrage here? This is a presumptuous ad. It's an effective ad like putting a crucifix in urine made people think about religion - it will backfire. Less people believe in man-made global warming than ever. With the scandals just breaking from NIWA and UEA (look 'em up), there are even more doubts. I believe we have tremendous pollution concerns that are being ignored in favor of debates about global warming instead of global resonsibility. You can't touch the water in most big city rivers, much less swim in them - but that doesn't cause global warming, so no funding, no press, no native american chief with a tear in his eye anymore. Did we solve that problem?

      yeah agree 2.

      tho the counter to this is - not as stupid & tasteless as 'flying'... etc

      I am all ears when it comes to communications targeted my way that discuss what we can all do to help our society - not trash it... but I just feel humiliated by the idiocy of this ad.

      It is convoluted & impoverished as a piece of 'information'.

      it's like their mental brief went something like :
      'yeah it's gotta be really 'hard hitting' & 'weird' & have some serious sounding FACTS and NUMBERS in it!!!!!!

      but not able to muster the brain power to consider the actual meaning , digestibility or impact of the information at hand which any fool copy - reading it would say HEY! this IS JIBBERISH!!!

      I think in general British communications - whether it's advertising or journalism or fiction - still throws up wit, talent & intelligence..

      but these guys just make me ashamed ...

      they aint called MOTHER - - - - - - - for nothing?
