A result for common-sense and decency over extremism and bad taste.
But so that 10:10 and its fellow-travellers cannot disclaim what they produced and intended to show, here is the original video...
Also do remember that the founder of 10:10 Franny Armstrong 'joked':
'Doing nothing about climate change is still a fairly common affliction, even in this day and age. What to do with those people, who are together threatening everybody's existence on this planet? Clearly we don't really think they should be blown up, that's just a joke for the mini-movie, but maybe a little amputating would be a good place to start?
...
But why take such a risk of upsetting or alienating people, I ask her: "Because we have got about four years to stabilise global emissions and we are not anywhere near doing that. All our lives are at threat and if that's not worth jumping up and down about, I don't know what is."
"We 'killed' five people to make No Pressure – a mere blip compared to the 300,000 real people who now die each year from climate change," she adds.
Jamie Glover, the child-actor who plays the part of Philip and gets blown up, has similarly few qualms: "I was very happy to get blown up to save the world."'
I wonder if Franny Armstrong wants to comment on her organisation's pulling of the film...
