This short film shows how energy use in your home creates CO2 emissions, and how we can all reduce our emissions to help tackle climate change.
Description of the film (transcript)
Open on an out of focus red flickering light that fills most of the screen. The camera pulls back and focuses to reveal the flickering light charger. The charger seems to pulse as if there is an internal energy trying to burst out.
The camera pulls back further and then takes off on a journey around a modern home picking up examples of energy wastage in the home.
We see it pass through the kitchen, then through a utility room and past the washing machine. As the camera finds all of these examples of energy wastage, each appliance appears to pulse with an internal energy trying to escape.
The camera passes through the living room and finds a TV then it moves and finds the flame of the boiler, then follows to the boiler and a hot tap leaking out hot water. It continues through a bedroom where more appliances are throbbing with energy. Then it goes through another bedroom, looks like a child's with TV and computer console on.
Then the camera pans through the house and see various other switches left on and the heating, then follows the energy stream as it first journeys through some circuit boards and then joins the electricity main, which leads from the house. Voice over:
'Energy-dependent home appliances are part of our modern way of life. Most of the energy they use comes from burning gas, oil and coal, which emit carbon dioxide - CO2 - into the atmosphere, changing the planet's climate.'
The camera cuts higher and higher as we see each street and then each district of a town combine their energy streams and one stream shoots off across the countryside until we reach a power station where (animated) CO2 is belching in to the atmosphere. Voice over:
'We also waste large amounts of energy unnecessarily, which only increases CO2 emissions affecting the climate even further.'
The camera keeps going higher revealing eventually seeing the Earth from space. But instead of the beautiful, blue planet we are used to seeing it is enveloped in (animated) CO2 making it take on a 'reddish' hue. The Earth almost seems to pulse as all the appliances have before it.
The 'reddish' Earth mixes through to the flickering red light of the charger in the opening shot. As the camera pulls back again, a hand reaches in and turns off the switch. Voice over:
'We are now producing more C02 than the world can cope with.'
We then see a series of shots as the energy wastage shown in the first sequence is dealt with. As each appliance is dealt with it stops pulsing.
Series of shots: TV being switched off, plug socket switched off, tap turned off to stop the leaking hot water, heating turned down, mobile phone charger being switched off - we then see energy efficient light bulb, loft installation, street scene. Voice over:
'We can only tackle climate change, if we all act, now -- together -- by using and wasting less energy and therefore, reduce the CO2 emissions we are each responsible for.'
We end to see parents walking their children and cyclists on the street with no cars. We track past solar panels on the roofs of houses and see the wind turbines in the background. Ends with earth from space back to the way we are used to seeing it - as a beautiful, blue planet.

Anyone seen the advert with the car yet? Starts off looking like and industrial building then zooms out to a car next to a plant pot with a dying tree?
Subliminal message : CO2 is bad for plants!! Really it is! ignore your biology teacher because CO2 kills plants.
Yes ban dihydrogen monoxide it sounds really scary like carbon dioxide and why not ban sodium chloride thats really dangerous.lol green fools you have had your good nature hijacked by control freaks.

it only sounds scary to the fake "green fools" because they are to brain dead, lazy, apathetic and have no life of their own and drunk on their own green power trips to find out for themselves what the hell carbon monoxide is, and instead leave it to the experts like George Soros with his sick film "Home" and especially Al Gore, who stands to make billions from selling (pukes) carbon credits.
anyone who thinks man made global warming is real needs to watch the film Global Warming Or Global Governance...
watch that and hear from REAL scientists then come back and tell me MMGW is real...
or maybe like David Rothschild you think Mars Jupiter and Saturn are closer to the sun than the earth... don't believe me?! David Rothschild did an interview on the Alex Jones Show and stated to the world those planets were closer to the sun than the earth...its on youtube!!!
Over the past decade, global temperature on the Earth has not increased; global warming has ceased, and already there are signs of the future deep temperature drop. [...] It follows that warming had a natural origin, the contribution of CO2 to it was insignificant, anthropogenic increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide does not serve as an explanation for it, and in the foreseeable future CO2 will not be able to cause catastrophic warming.
I think the goverment should act. not us, if they give us the environmentaly friendly fuels, we wont be giving off so much pollution!!! instead, they make more money on CO2 producing fuels.

Also look up Lord Monckton & Richard Lindzen.

Do they think we're all fools?

lets get rid of CO2 so the plants have nothing to breath and we don't get any oxygen in return...
WAKE THE HELL UP YOU MORONS WHO SUPPORT THIS CRAP, NO CO2 MEANS NO OXYGEN!!!
i wish people would research the main ingredient for green house gases...ITS WATER VAPOUR NOT CO2!!!
by the way, who here thinks we should ban or tax Dihydrogen Monoxide????????????
