Politico reports:
The NRDC is launching a six-figure TV and online ad campaign to boost support for the administration’s climate change agenda and EPA’s emissions rule for new power plants specifically. The TV spots, which will air over the next week in the Beltway market, features shots of extreme weather and asthmatic children. “Taking action against climate change won’t just reduce extreme weather events hurting our communities, it will reduce extreme asthma attacks hurting our children,” the ad says, according to a transcript. NRDC’s online campaign — which included a front page “takeover” yesterday of POLITICO.com and continues in the D.C. area — is aimed at doubling the number of people who “like” EPA on Facebook (the figures was just under 75,000 last night).
The EPA has degenerated to become the regulatory arm of the NRDC.
Madison Avenue must have a hand in this … Save the world AND the ‘children’? At the same time? Using a method that can have no measurable effect? And will cost dearly?
P.T. Barnum lives!!!
Launch a “Hate the EPA” page.
It’d be funny if it weren’t so depressingly likely to work.
