Government continues climate campaign despite criticism

Friday 19th March 2010

By Mike Jones

The Government is to continue its current campaign on climate change, despite having two adverts banned by the advertising watchdog.

Two of the press ads, which used nursery rhymes to push the message of climate change, were in breach of the advertising code, the ASA has ruled.

However, the Government has pledged to carry on.

"We stand by our campaign, we will continue to do this," said a spokeswoman for the Department of Energy and Climate Change.

"The ASA hasn't upheld any complaints about our TV advert, the reality of man-made climate change has not been challenged, nor has any of the imagery we used been called into question. The ASA has found against one word in our newspaper adverts and we'll take care to provide better explanation in any future advertising campaign."
