Heartland’s “Cows” Video Online
Promotes climate conference
The Heartland Institute Thursday launched the second of two videos promoting its upcoming climate change conference by taking aim at the federal EPA's suggestion it may tax animal flatulence as a way to help control greenhouse gases.
The 47-second video opens with a headline from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution from December 6, 2008, "EPA's air-pollution target: flatulent cows. Agency may tax livestock farms for greenhouse gas emissions." With Strauss's "Blue Danube Waltz" playing in the background, the video connects livestock flatulence with severe weather, while a nearly hysterical federal bureaucrat insists, "there's global warming everywhere" that must be stopped through taxation.
A high-resolution version of "Cows" on YouTube is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFMNi-2SrQA&fmt=18. You can also download the video in QuickTime format by clicking here. (29.10 mb)
The video, created by RapidResponse Media, Washington, DC, continues The Heartland Institute's online marketing campaign to promote the second International Conference on Climate Change, taking place March 8-10 in New York City. The conference is expected to be the largest gathering of global warming "skeptics" ever convened. Approximately 1,000 scientists, economists, policy experts, elected officials, and civic and business leaders are expected to attend.
"Scare," a two-minute video with a more serious message on global warming and the upcoming conference, debuted last week. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvLt3nU14W4&fmt=18. You can also download the video in QuickTime format by clicking here. (145.5 mb)
"The 'Cows' video is edgy and humorous in a tasteful barnyard kind of way," said Heartland President Joseph Bast. "But it makes the point that alarmists have exaggerated the impact on climate from factors they can't control, and how attempting to do so will unleash a blizzard of bureaucrats eager to regulate and tax every aspect of our lives."
The video is available on several sites on the Web, including YouTube, Heartland's Facebook page, and at www.heartland.org.
