This movie could've been a great opportunity to once again warn the public on the dangers of climate change. Guess the writers were too much of cowards to upset the MAGA crowd.
shareHello, ignorant Climate Cultist. The Hollywood Reporter asked the Asian director about this, he said "Movies shouldn't PREACH a message." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/twisters-climate-change-1235949639/
share"Guess the writers were too much of cowards to upset the MAGA crowd."
Exactly. They ignored totally what climate scientists have been warning about for decades. As time goes on this flaw will make this movie ever more a Disney fantasy and unwatchable by sentient adults.
As time goes on, the Climate Hoax has proven to be nothing more than a hoax. Here is Climate Cult leader Al Gore in 2009 parroting some scientist who claimed the polar ice caps would be gone by 2016. What a clown! https://youtu.be/MsioIw4bvzI?si=T6zPqVNiwdH65ivr
shareAre you denying that the ice-caps are melting? If not, to what do you attribute their receding?
shareThe ice has GROWN over the past 40 years.https://eos.org/science-updates/new-perspectives-on-the-enigma-of-expanding-antarctic-sea-ice
shareLiar!
This is from your paper, did you even read it?
"With 2024 likely to be another year of high global average temperatures and weather extremes, it may emerge as another year of low Antarctic sea ice. Although current sea ice extent is no longer the lowest on record, conditions are still well below the 1981-2010 average, and this situation may well persist into the 2024 melt season.
So, while it is too early to say conclusively that the recent sea-ice lows are the beginning of a regime shift in Antarctic sea ice, it seems inevitable that it will eventually decline in response to human-caused climate change."
Let me repeat that conclusion for you: "IT SEEMS INEVITABLE (!) THAT IT [Antarctic sea ice] WILL EVENTUALLY DECLINE IN RESPONSE TO HUMAN-CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE."
Now go back to sticking your head in the sand and don't bother to reply--you are herewith ignored!
"Recent research offers new insights on Antarctic sea ice, which, despite global warming, has INCREASED in overall extent over the past 40 years."
shareYes that little factoid was included in the article, but just like singular local weather events are insignificant when seen against the coarser grain of planetary climate change, this Antarctic phenomenon will have no influence on the overall trend of increasing temperatures and drought over most of earth's habitable regions. As the article which you yourself cited states, "IT SEEMS INEVITABLE THAT ANTARCTIC SEA ICE WILL EVENTUALLY DECLINE IN RESPONSE TO HUMAN-CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE." That is their conclusion.
shareKnow your audience and the director knows the audience wants to be entertained not lectured too.
shareYet the dialogue contains a lot of technical meteorological terminology that I for one didn't understand--did you actually watch the movie?
From Time: "It's not 'preaching' to acknowledge the world we all live in," said climate journalist Anna Jane Joyner on X. "Ignoring it sends a clear message too."
The mom kind of referenced climate change. She said the tornadoes are getting worse every year and the price of wheat and grain were going up.
shareThat line was the moment where you figured the main character would’ve responded with, “it’s climate change, mom.” But they didn’t have her do so. They openly chose to avoid the topic
The movie relied on country-music in the soundtrack for promotion - that music’s audience wouldn’t want to hear about climate change. I recall the director said he wanted to avoid lecturing on politics in this movie
Because half of the population of the USA supports Trump, and Trump believes there is no climate change. If the movie claims climate change is real, it will alienate half of the population.
shareIt would lead to global warning, or mind change.
shareNo, it's not about courage. It's about having the brains to know that people are sick and tired of being lectured about political shit, and it's a smarter move to just tell a story and leave the political messages out. Every movie and tv show that's had a heavy political message has been a huge turn-off to audiences everywhere, and people who produced them always lost a ton of money. Or were you asleep for the past 8 years?
