Climate Porn: Drowning Dogs and Exploding Children

In 2009 the UK government spent £6m on a TV propaganda campaign aimed at families. Energy usage, it explained in dulcet tones, is tantamount to murder.

With wry sense of humour (/sarc off/) and high production values, the murder of citizens reluctant to moderate their carbon footprints is portrayed. A button is pressed, some sci-fi-fantasy subcutaneous bomb explodes inside the victims, and we the viewers laugh nervously at the black humour of filmmakers who would threaten the recalcitrant with violence:
