Government rebuked over global warming nursery rhyme adverts
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that the adverts – which were based on the children's poems Jack and Jill and Rub-A-Dub-Dub – made exaggerated claims about the threat to Britain from global warming.
In definitely asserting that climate change would cause flooding and drought the adverts went beyond mainstream scientific consensus, the watchdog said.
It noted that predictions about the potential global impact of global warming made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) "involved uncertainties" that the adverts failed to reflect.
The two posters created on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change juxtaposed adapted extracts from the nursery rhymes with prose warnings about the dangers of global warning.

One began: “Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. There was none as extreme weather due to climate change had caused a drought.” Beneath was written: “Extreme weather conditions such as flooding, heat waves and storms will become more frequent and intense.”
The second advert read: "Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub — a necessary course of action due to flash flooding caused by climate change.” It was captioned: “Climate change is happening. Temperature and sea levels are rising. Extreme weather events such as storms, floods and heat waves will become more frequent and intense. If we carry on at this rate, life in 25 years could be very different.”

Yes, but just because man-made global warming is not real, that does not mean that global warming is not happening.
And the things they are warning about could very will still come true, even if it`s due to "natural" global warming
Perhaps they don`t want people panicking and figuring out survival tactics for when the infrastructure falls apart from extreme weather, and thats why they block ads like these.
Of course I could still be wrong but why is so much of the emphasis on whether or not the global warming is man made? We are still effed... But if we prepared for it that would work against the depopulation plans talked about so much recently. Again its just speculation but there`s nothing wrong with food for thought.
