    Watts Up With That?
    December 13, 2008

    This is environmentalism jumping the shark:

    media   Flashback: TV Network Tells Kids How Long Their Carbon Footprint Should Allow Them to Live
    Click image above to play the game

    I don’t know where to begin, except to say that when we see things like this, we should complain loudly and incessantly. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has crossed a line beyond science, beyond decency, and beyond rational thought.

    This is what you get after pressing “start”:

    Two 

    The screen above says: When you’re done, click on the (skull and crossbones) to find out what age you should die at so you don’t use more than your fair share of Earth’s resources!

    Hat tip to CallonJim who writes:

    This “kids” games at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Tell’s kids depending on their magical “carbon footprint” how long they should live?

    The actual title is “Professor Schpinkee’s Greenhouse Calculator – find out when you should die!”

    The thing I find amazing is the average foot print is 24.6 tonnes of CO2, which calculates out to 9.3 years old! Where it tells the child “YOU SHOULD DIE AT THE AGE 9.3!” Guess what age this kids games is marketed to? That’s right, 9 year olds.

    What is most disgusting about this is that ABC ignores their own published Code of Practice

    In section 2.12 they talk about content for children:

    2.12 Content for Children. In providing enjoyable and enriching content for children, the ABC does not wish to conceal the real world from them. It can be important for the media, especially television, to help children understand and deal with situations which may include violence and danger. Special care should be taken to ensure that content which children are likely to watch or access unsupervised should not be harmful or disturbing to them.

    I venture that any child who takes this carbon footprint test “unsupervised” without mommy and daddy around, and who may be old enough to read, but not old enough to understand he/she is being brainwashed by an agenda, would be “disturbed” find they should die at age nine, since just clicking through with default choices gives you that age.

    Here is where you can contact the ABC and give them an inbox full of your opinion. This kind of propaganda needs to be removed.

    UPDATE: There is a row developing in the Austrailian press over this.

    UPDATE2: The New York Post highlights this site on June 1st with the headline “Enviro Mental Institution

      According to this game, I have used up to many resources already. I guess I should kill myself…so as to prevent global warming. I mean yeah, its freezing cold outside right now and 2008 has been the coldest year in decades but the earth IS warming, it just feels cold. see? there is snow on the ground in places it doesnt usually snow but that is because the earth is getting warmer.So we should all pay a carbon tax and some of us (like me) should just go die. but die underground so your decaying corpse doesnt release to much greenhouse gas.

    2. GetupStandup Says:

      haha. . . good assessment Noah.
      My footprint had me dead in approx 8.5 years. I do drive a pickup truck though, & don’t live near Hoover Dam so Im just a wastefull trog. Maybe Noah if you & I dig a hole & bury ourselves together we can do even more to save the planet.

      I produce below the 3 tons recommended co2. I Dont eat meat except venison and other hunted meat from large populations. I drive a medium size car with gas mileage over 30 mpg. Live in a small apartment. Walk and bike fairly often. But the thing that really reduces the greenhouse gasses according to the game is investing in companies which make environmentally responsible products. Like everything else on tv it tells you how to spend your money. What 9 year old INVESTS?

    4. Bite me, ABC Says:

      31.6 years

      HA.

      Screw that. I should use more just to spite them.

    5. AnonymousAbsoloution Says:

      Wow. That’s all I have to say about that.

    6. ?!#*!!! Says:

      is this the f***kin twighlight zone??

    7. AnonymousAbsoloution Says:

      10.6 years. COME GET ME JACK-BOOTED THUGS!! LOL.

    8. Obelisk Says:

      the sign says “are you a carbon hog?” not “find out when you should die!” unless it’s been changed

    9. Obelisk Says:

      It doesn’t say “find out when you should die!”

    10. Obelisk Says:

      nevermind, read updates… must have been changed by the company

    11. Where Is Your Outrage?!?! Says:

      #9 Obelisk…do you not read? Do you see the skull and crossbones that says click here to see when you should die?

      You people kill me….literally!

    12. Israel Bissell Says:

      Hey, Obelisk. Yes, it actually says “Find out when you should die.” Learn to read. It’s people like you that help make this world a bad place to live in. Because of your DENIAL evil people keep on hurting innocent people!

    13. Where Is Your Outrage?!?! Says:

      I played it and the more money you spend means you get to live longer.

    14. Where Is Your Outrage?!?! Says:

      They changed the wording after the fuss but if you use too much energy you die withing a couple of years..or you should.

    15. Elvis M. Says:

      apparently I could live forever based on my carbon footprint, all it took was eating organic food, not flying a lot, living in a small house, and driving a fuel efficient car. I don’t believe in any of the global warming stuff, it’s clearly not carbon emissions that is warming/cooling the earth down, it’s the sun. But, if we all live healthier lifestyles, we will all be better off, and there is no arguing that. If they try to tax you, oppose it. Take responsibility for yourself, you don’t need the government to do anything for you, unless you are physically unable to do it for yourself.

    16. neon Says:

      ” the UN Climate Change officials responding to the carbon crises have advised members states that the new death penalty for Malicious Carbon Footprint Abuse soon to be implemented globally
      is an ‘ unfortunate necessity ‘ …. “

      What a PIG load of s---!!!! :O Propaganda-ala-masse

    18. Adreamtosome Says:

      If all the prople (U.N, Globalists ‘elite’, The Greeny Meanies, David’oscar’ Meyer ‘weener’ De Rothschild) would all just kill themselves right now….

      There would be more CO2 for us! ;-)

      Can’t say I couldn’t think of a better solution, yes?

    19. FOXHOLEatheist Says:

      wow i played all the games on that site and needless to say i feel a little sick… did you know salt and sunshine is bad for the earth? oh and so is cooking food and having clothes to wear… i shoulda been dead @ 8 even tho at that age i didnt make any of the choices the questions asked me about, my mom did and i dont know about the screen shots the article gives but the site was a bit diffrent they took out the when you should die stuff and just called you a pig and told you that you have you used more then your “fair share” of the earth resources… u know what im gonna go puke now…

    20. vengeance Says:

      Wow Unholy bastards! Sounds kind of like Logan’s run. If that crap was ever shown to my little loved ones the teacher would be missing some teeth!

    21. The no brained republican Says:

      Well, this is not alarming to me at all or to those that know there history.
      Its common practice among dictatorships to brainwash the younger underdeveloped mind to abide by certain rules regulations and to have considerable repercussions for failing to do so.
      As stated up top find out when you should die without the green pig there is no hope.
      Hitler advanced this methodology.

    22. Schnulli Says:

      Well, my only criticism is that the main intent is to make people feel guilty, so wealth can be extracted as “punishment” in form of taxes/work. This has been going on for milleniae and the churches have spearheaded this form of propaganda.

      Actually this game could also be called “How much are you feeding the NWO?”, because the NWO has put itself at the CO2 switchboards to control us. If you are good to go according to this test, you are also very good at fighting the NWO. So there’s no need to get all worked up over this game. Just see it this way: if you are not getting a pass from this test, you are not doing enough to fight the NWO.

      And the NWO’s best kept secret: Electric Bikes!

      #11: Go check that out for yourself *at the source* . YOU are killing everyone else! It’s not on the original website, so it might be photoshopped. Although it gives away the intent that it’s a skull and crossbones instead of a sunflower.

      P.S.: They told me I could live forever, but I have a suspicion that they logged my IP and will ship me to the camps with the first batch of people, since I don’t contribute to their population control scheme. :-| .

      I don’t feel guilty! My piggy kept getting smaller. According to this little test I should live forever.

    26. grig Says:

      Thats truly horrible!! Geez!!! I think ABC must have changed some words in the context. Were the original screenshots taken when site was launched?

      Hard up !!! They’re actually going for the kids !!!

      “Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.” he told a fundraising crowd in the Pacific Northwest on Sunday. “Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

    30. Spencer Says:

      Alex asks “What are you going to do about it?” Since I woke up, I quit my job, lost my fake friends, sold all of my stuff, purchsed medical supplies, got weapons, developed a technology to mitigate microwave and taser weapons (yes, I will be the one who looks like Batman), eat souly organic food and feel great, and am moving across the country to hold up and store food. Once there I will lead the people to the truth.
      Thanks Alex

      Hehe, Professor Schpinkee

    32. Frank Schlözer Says:

      well, this flash game was developed by a truly twisted mind. But i think they took the word ‘die’ out of there and replaced it with ‘you have exhausted your resources’ or something.

      But the exploding pig is still a little bit weird.

    33. Simon Says:

      ABC changed the site after complaints. I wrote an official complaint to the ABC who gave me a pathetic reply along the line that they had changed the site and that AGW has been proved beyond doubt. They do not care what the Adults think, they want your kids!

    34. TheSearchForTheLight Says:

      Great you take a look at this stuff again,
      I referred to it when I had a discussion with a pagan woman on YT a while ago,
      but I couldn’t remember the link.
      Pagan propaganda at it’s worst!
      I’m mad!!!

    35. Jake Baynes Says:

      I have just this site and it’s just plain WRONG

    36. bill Says:

      This is the dumbest s--- I have ever seen. I participated in the game and my results were: You will use up your share of the planets resources in 9.5 years. Yeah, OK Al Gore. All the rich, politically connected assholes will be driving their $700,000 gas-guzzling, classic cars while we live in green communes.

      If we use up all the oil, who gives a s---? We’ve been using it all up for over 100 years.

      P.S. Look up hydro-fuel assist for cars which increases their gas mileage AT LEAST 50%. Small, independent auto mechanics install them, if they know about them. But I’ve never heard them mentioned on tv or in big newspapers. I believe they also restrict emissions to virtually zero. But they don’t want you to know that you can have your cake and eat it too. The free market should determine what is the best energy, not a bunch of bureacrats who live in The Wizard of Oz.

    37. All spark Says:

      elites are all hippocrates (I might have spelled it wrong) they all should just die since they use the most carbon footprint. If they only do what “they” preach. They would be like the pig…used all your carbon footprint by the time they were 1.2 years old

    38. Levon Says:

      THIS IS JUST SICK.

    39. Betsy Says:

      Will somebody from Australia please complain to the Australian Broadcasting network.
      I can”t believe that someone could actually expose children to such garbage.

      Alex Jone’s “Agenda” you could call it, haha…..now start your own money spinning website.

      rofl, he is the pot that calls the kettle black on a daily basis.

      truth is:
      -blind sheep if you do, blind sheep if you dont
      -nobody really knows anything ever
      -if you want it, take it
      -there’s not a war on for your mind, there’s never ending battles for your attention and on this occasion alex got mine, which i personally feel shameful for.

      he’s what young people would refer to as a “douche bag” in this day in age, haha.

    41. Megal Says:

      kids hit their death age, realise “haha, oh s---…what a pack of lies that game on the internet was, how silly was i for believing it”

      my sister told me as a kid that all spiders could kill me……not scared of spiders.

      on the other hand i know a man who is 30yrs old and lives with his parents, reads this website like it is the be all and end all of everything legitimate and worthwile.

      he doesn’t have a job anymore because researching the bulls--- on this site has consumed his life, he is incabable of fending for himself due to the fear that has been generated by this website, fact of life is his parents will die eventually and his parents are all he has.

      harden the f--- up alex, put a disclaimer on your fear mongering dribble.
