Recently two adverts from the government were banned because of exaggerating the threat of climate change.
As far as I am concerned, these adverts should be banned indeed. First, if the government decides to issue an advert, it should be responsible for the readers. Revealing the nature of climate change is of course helpful for the public to understand the current situation of our global environment. However, publishers of the adverts which contains scientific knowledge should be responsible for the reliability and precision of science. Second, exaggerating infomation may cause panic among the public. A few months ago a movie called 2012 is quite impressive for describing a new style of "Judgement Day"(the end of the world). At first people are merely attracted by the stunning visual effects and how the world ends. However, when the rumor that 2012 may be the real end of the world is spread out, people begin to think. Some say that Maya has foreseen this thousands of years ago, and there are even a group of people who combine the natural disasters with prediction, trying to demonstrate the world that the prediction is not a coincidence. The situation is elevated, and NASA has to come to the front telling the world that nothing is going to happen in 2012. As we can see, the power of rumou can never be neglected. Although I fully understand that these two adverts play a role as an alert for people, but they should not cross the line. This is why I agree that they should be banned.
