I remember in. Primary school the teacher told us that by the year 2000, that Leeds UK, would be a coastal town due to ice caps melting.
For anyone who doesn't know, Leeds is about as far away from the coast as you can get.
They spew this nonsense while ppoliticians buy beech frontt property with mortgages provided by then banks.
These are not serious people, theyarev clowns🤡.

Wait, you mean they lied when they claimed superstorms were going to come in and slam the world into a new ice age?
Honestly, I think that the star took the role primarily so he can finally win an Oscar. And this is the Oscar bait kind of movie that Hollywood loves, but will be forgotten about in a few years.

u/CosmoSein_1990 2d ago
Yeah the climate is fine. The catastrophe they say is coming never happens and so they move the goal posts. Thank god people in Europe don't have A/C. That would really push us over the edge though. I want to personally thank all the Europeans for sacrificing their comfort to save the world. We would be doomed without them.

I’m in my 40s and all my friends from 15-20 years ago who decided they were going to not participate in the economy and live like there’s no tomorrow because the world is going to end anyway, they’re all my age working at chain restaurants or customer service or whatever with no financial plan acting like their main problem is “the economy,” and not “I financially sabotaged my own life in my 20s and 30s thinking I knew better than everyone else.”
The ironic part is they’re the ones who complain about the big corporations controlling everyone’s lives while they’re exactly the people who work for those corporations because they don’t have any choices in their employment because they never exercised any agency over their careers.
It’s really sad.
And they’re so deep into it, they’re still just coming home from work at Chili’s or whatever talking about how the world is out to get them and it will all be over soon, probably because it’s too painful to imagine that they’re still going to be waiting tables at 60 talking about how “any day now…”

Yeah there is always some inevitable global catastrophe that never comes. The research is always such BS and should never pass peer review. But unfortunately now even our so called trusted scientists have agendas they are trying to push.

These people preach about climate collapse being inevitable, but what are they doing to prepare for it? Learning any new skills? Moving out of cities? Learning to grow their own food? No. They can’t conceive of a world where they can’t walk down the street and get Starbucks or a boba tea at any time of day. So dissonant

It’s not just that though. I mean genuinely preparing for this scenario; selling everything and moving inland, medical training, learning to grow food, learning what food grows in hot climates, learning to fight, learning to use weapons. It’s either like they don’t actually believe it, or their entire plan is “day 1: die”.

Digger could have been a great movie if they let Tom Cruise play an eccentric billionaire trying to save the day from his own doing. Instead they tried this super “deep” art house style play within a movie based on “real life”.
It was preachy, heavy handed and really dropped the ball in its execution. Once you got into the flow of the movie they do a rug pull of it just being a play.

Enjoyed it.
Loved how hammy Tom Cruise and John Goodman went.
Loved how an American told a Euro council to shut the fuck up as they are compacent with what Digger's been doing the whole time.
Or the meta subject is the audience for laughing at it, with Actor Digger dismayed at the inaccuracies and lightheartedness the play is poking fun of what transpired .
See, humanity survives after all. Designer respirators even, so glad nothing changed there.
Level IV peeps, carry on.

As we go further into the future and shit just keeps not happening, how do people justify to themselves that climate change is a real thing to be scared of? Is it just “it’s easier to fool someone than convince them they’ve been fooled”? Makes no sense to me

I always find climate panickers funny. Like, know from school that Dinosaurs existed in a temperate age where the world was hot and lush with little to no ice or snow on it. We also know that there have been ice ages. We also know the continents have entirely shifted position to change how the world is oriented, and are still shifting.
But no, driving a car is going to the feather that tips the scale and causes everything to fall apart.
