The movie can't teach anyone a lesson, and it knows this, and we know this. I don't know why "it's hamfisted" is the first thing everyone feels the need to point out. It's dumb entertainment, it knows it's dumb entertainment, it knows it doesn't have a subtle, deep lesson that only the most scholarly shall consume and understand. It's not meant to be a piece of cinema. It's just for laughs.

There's nothing to do but laugh at the absurdity and stupidity of our coming collapse, and the movie helps broke brained people like us do that. That's its only possible purpose. Of course it's not subtle, or deep, or meaningful beyond entertaining us and being fun to talk about.

idk i felt the "exploiting the comet" thing was a direct analogy for carbon credit and "business as usual, but green"

my favorite part of the movie was the Enlightened Centrist getting interviewed with his up/down pin

The concert was the best part because it reminded me of all the idiot celebrity concert shits that happen and do nothing.

I remember when the big earthquake happened in Haiti and I was working at a fedex office and got a sudden rush order to make a bunch of pamphlets for the HOOTNANNY FOR HAITI with pearl jam and poo poo and they gave me free tickets for getting it done and no, I as a wage slave could absolutely not take a night off to go anyway and pondered on how loving pointless it all was.

Remember when a bunch of lovely celebrities sang Imagine? lmao.

Anyway that scene was prefect. Just absolutely useless poo poo design to make libs feel better.

Saying we're all going to die is optimism. It's a hopeful thought that the most destructive species in the history of the planet might kill itself in the process of killing millions of other species. But humans are too vicious and stubborn to get completely wiped out, and there'll be a few communities left eating whatever weeds and vermin can survive +8° C. Actions now can make a difference in whether a billion people survive, or only a few thousand.

there's absolutely a point at which warming kills every human; it definitely would at +50, definitely won't at +1.5

where exactly we end up and whether that's enough, nobody knows

oklahoma has one because texas couldnt be a slave state so far north and had to give up a strip of theirs to get accepted to the union.

texas has a pan handle cause of louisiana purchase/mexican war stuff.

what else has one? connecticut? they just loving suck probably

Denmark wants all domestic flights to be hydrogen fueled by 2030.

Airbus said its not making such a plane until 2035

France moving to outlaw flights that have train options less than 2.5 hours long (basically just to the low countries and the riviera)

Flying is only maintained as an industry because of the military. All the airlines are de facto nonprofits.
