The first scene begins a bright and chirpy schoolteacher, played by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndsey_Marshal Lyndsey Marshal], tells her class about the 10:10 campaign, and asks what they are doing to reduce their carbon footprint. She asks which of students are planning to participate; most raising their hands, two children shrug apathetically. The teacher has reassures the students that this is fine, as there is "no pressure," however, the camera then shifts to the papers on the teacher's desk to reveal a red-button detonator, which she presses. The two children who did not want to participate explode, covering their screaming classmates with blood and body parts. The teacher then goes on casually to explain the night's homework to her horrified charges.

The video had a positive reception from much of the media and people in support of curbing global warming. However, some supporters also believed that the video was too violent and that shock tactic would not work properly.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/green-living-blog/2010/oct/04/10-10-activism</ref> Climate skeptics, however, had an extremely negative reaction to the video; these people showed their negativity towards the video by calling Richard Curtis an Eco-fascist.

It is about enslaving us with massive taxes & restrictions under the guise of environmentalism. Think about it. I mean really consider the possibility that you're being brainwashed.

All the scientists are being investigated by the police for fraud, when they took money for research and lied about the results. They even admit they lied because the data didn't support it. The forecast models couldn't even predict the past properly. We are suppose to believe they work for the future? Dumb. The science can't be duplicated.
