Hollywood Is Forgetting To Put ‘Climate Change’ In Movies Or Something

Hollywood is already having enough problems in putting out good movies that people want to see. People are leery about paying all the money to go see movies that can have all sorts of Woke garbage in them. And that the ideas are pretty repetitive. So, hey, yeah, let’s add climate cult business into it

Lights, camera … climate? Report finds Hollywood is depicting a world without climate change

Remember that scene in 2022?s “Top Gun: Maverick,” when Tom Cruise’s character suddenly has to navigate a climate change-fueled storm? Or in the latest “Scream” movie, when the teens are hiding from the killer in a field of solar panels?

No? Right, that’s because they never happened.

Across Hollywood, the most popular films from 2013 to 2022 largely ignored climate change, despite its growing presence across everyday life — from the effects (extreme weather) to the response to it (electric vehicles, solar panels, and more).

Researchers from Colby College and Good Energy, a nonprofit that helps storytellers portray climate change on-screen, put together a new report and devised what they’re calling a “Climate Reality Check,” similar to the Bechdel-Wallace Test, which assesses whether women get equal screen time. This test, however, asks: Does climate change, as a concept, exist in the film? And does a main character acknowledge it?

Only a small percentage of films passed the exam.

And what, pray tell, picture do they use for the article?

Yeah, they really included a frozen world from the Day After Tomorrow. Because heating causes an ice age.

“I can pretty confidently say that most major studios and networks and streamers are interested in this effort and exploring it,” said Ellis Watamanuk, senior director of the Entertainment Lab at Rare, an international conservation organization that focuses on behavioral science to push for change.

Watamanuk works with filmmakers and TV producers to think about creative ways to infuse climate change into their stories. The idea isn’t to churn out story upon story that’s explicitly about climate change, he said. Rather, it’s finding ways to infuse existing stories, from courtroom dramas to ghost-hunting reality shows, with storylines or examples of the realities of climate change confronting people.

Sigh. It always ends up blatant and has people giving Speeches, destroying the flow of the movie. But, hey, have fun watching your business dry up.
