Environmental campaigners 10:10 have withdrawn a film showing a teacher graphically exploding two of her students who refuse to reduce their carbon emmissions, after complaints.

In a statement, the group apologised to anyone offended.

The film aimed to "bring this critical issue back into the headlines whilst making people laugh," the group said.

Starring Gillian Anderson it was scripted by Richard Curtis, whose films include Four Weddings and a Funeral.

It was directed by a leading commercials director.

In the film, which was subsequently posted to Youtube and which contains disturbing images, a teacher invites her class to take part in the environmental campaign. Two children, who do not want to, are asked why.

The teacher tells them: "Fine, it's absolutely fine. It's your own choice."

But moments later she presses a button and the children explode into a mess.

Similar scenes are played out in an office where four workers are blown up and a football training session where footballer David Ginola, who also says he does not want to do his bit to combat climate change, disappears in an explosion.

In the final scene, Gillian Anderson, who provides the voice- over is similarly dispatched after saying she thought doing the voice over was enough of a contribution to the campaign.

'This is dreadful'

Comments left on the Guardian website where the film was posted before being taken down on the 10:10 site, were split between those congratulating the team and others who thought it was in bad taste.

"I think this is dreadful," said one comment.

"To suggest that people who disagree with you deserve to die is incredibly stupid. Imagine if some Christian group in the US did that to gays, Muslims, or anyone else they disagree with. The outrage would be palpable. And deserved.

"It's like a parody of something that people mocking enviros would do."

Lizze Gillett, Global Campaign Director for 10:10, told the BBC: "As you can see from various comments and social media sites some people thought it was funny and a good tool to get people talking about climate change but others strongly disliked the mini-movie. We decided to take it off our website to avoid upsetting people. "

In the official campaign statement, the group said: "At 10:10 we're all about trying new and creative ways of getting people to take action on climate change. Unfortunately in this instance we missed the mark. Oh well, we live and learn."

However, 10:10 said they would not make any attempt "to censor or remove other versions currently in circulation on the internet."

Killing people in Adverts is wrong I sense something cheesy About

In our lifetime we will not see any MAJOR effects, so i couldn't care less about future generations.

Believe it or not life itself could be a dream, so why commit precious time thinking about future generations.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

As a geography and someone about to study geology and climatology at university part of me is screaming to argue back. But whether you like it or not, global warming is a real thing and those 'major effects' you alluded to have been taking place for 350 years.

Of course, I acknowledge it's a real thing but in my lifetime I will never experience major effects which will change the way I have to live life.

Anyone here could get hit by a car tomorrow, why care about future generations and the state of a planet we will no longer be living on.

Unless you believe in reincarnation?

i think the idea of "exploding people" to promote being more ecologically conscious is just too much of an oxymorn

[kwylino 329]

Whover doesnt do As i say will be destroyed

I dont know if im wrong here but i see the above as a slight subliminal

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

This is why people don't take environmentalists seriously.

[BRMC 12]

I think we do have a responsibility to look after the planet and improve things, its not like it would completely change our way of liviing just a few little things could make a diffrence. Plus what about your kids futures and theirs TX?

Are you retarded?

Technically life is just the brain's interpretation of our atmosphere, and not necessarily the atmosphere itself.

I don't believe in reincarnation... but I think your point of view is a very selfish one! Each to their own, but I appreciate the importance of the present. Consider the present day - the reason we are here and life is how it is is because of the actions of the past. What we do today will affect billions in the future. Maybe we can't help ourselves but we help the next generation, which is a stunningly beautiful ambition.

But what happens if we get hit by an earth killer asteroid, gamma ray burst, mega-tsunami, rogue black hole, alien invation, super-volcano, a huge x-ray coral mass ejection , economic destruction, deadly worldwide flu pandemic, mutation of HIV, peak oil, Mercury losing its orbit and colliding with Earth, nuclear warfare, grey goo, dysgenics, hypercane, the arrival of the four horsemen. Its pretty safe to say trhat we are all going to die.

Sorry dude, but that's a stupid thing to say! We should look after the planet regardless, what you're saying is basically not giving a shit about the environment and everyone else around you because you can't live forever, that's a load of ball to be honest!
