No pressure.''"

=== '''Controversy''' ===

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. The video also had large dislike to like ratio with many of the <abbr title=Co2 caused climate change is a farce. 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. Don't listen to celebrities like Tottenham FC, do the research. You'll notice that none of the plans by the EU & American elites cut carbon emissions what so ever, instead they simply move production to China & India. If it were real then step 1 is to hang our leaders.>top comments</abbr> being <abbr title=I can't believe anyone still believes in global warming, let alone that man has anything to do with it. 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. Research this in mainstream media, Climategate.>from skeptics</abbr>.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20101226060538/youtube.com/watch?v=sSTLDel-G9k</ref> Because of the extreme negativity, the video was privated and removed from the 10:10 website.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/science/school-children-blown-up-for-not-fighting-climate-change-in-controversial-ad</ref>
