LOL @8:58... Best... Denis Quaid movie.... ever, though Traffic was good too :-). On a side note it was the only movie in your example that had any science at all, even if it was a dramatisation simply to sell more tickets. The movie was a "what if" scenario based on a disruption of the ocean conveyor belt, which scientist know is a delicate system, though where hollywood come in and science leave is that such a disruption will cause 3 supestorms and world wide catastrophe.
I haven't seen any of these movies as I tend to avoid popular culture. I also avoid watching the television news because any scientific things they report on are usually misrepresented due to a severe lack of scientific understanding on the part of anyone working in that industry. I do however, use my experience as a scientist to objectively study published information about the effect of climate change on ecosystems and am convinced its worse than the accepted projections.
Using numbers from the US DOE, China alone will be emitting ~25Gt CO2 by yr 2050, in a 'bus. as usual' scenario, or ~19Gt in an 'extreme austerity' scenario. This ignores The other 2 economies which will have passed the US in CO2 emissions by then. Compare that with ENTIRE WORLD CO2 emissions of a mere 8Gt for the yr 2005 from CDIAC. Given the reality of the above numbers, which are NOT disputed, what kind of fool could possibly believe that it's possible to trim CO2 emissions by ANY amount?
I never really thought of Blade Runner as having anything to do with climate change. It always just felt like very heavy handed symbolism. It's raining because something something and harrison ford is drinking in every damn scene because... something

Nice try though.

This series of "films" and a 9th grade level tutorial of hollywoods perception of global warming is like driving drunk, wearing an eye patch, with bald tires on slick ice. It goes nowhere. Hollywood also gave us gems like "the land of the lost" "star troopers" and "independence day" and yet, I haven't used them for historical context for authentic space exploratio, neither should you. Feel free to unsubscribe from this hack. :)
People of wrongly assume Mad Max represents a post-nuclear apocalypse world. It does not.
Here's the start of the Wikipedia plot summary:
"A narrator describes that the world has "crumbled and...the cities have exploded;" uprisings and social disorder due to energy shortages have destabilized the country; and that "two mighty warrior tribes" had gone to war."
@LittleJon2000 It is not incorrect. The kid narrating says two "tribes" had gone to war and in the third film it is made perfectly clear that it was a nuclear war.
@PariahDark Ah, yes. The third movie was considered to be something of a departure from the first two in that regard. I remember reading the press previews before it came out which specifically stated that and said that in some regards it was considered to be a different story based around the same character.
The injection of large amounts of production money by Warner meant this was considered to be more of a Hollywood movie than the previous 2 and that had changed the complexion of the film.
I have to disagree with you, when you said "Still 200 feet, with up to 6 feet of that possible in our children's lifetime. "But, what if a positive feedback system is created due to global warming causing methane pits under the ocean or beneath swamps to melt. Things could get very hairy, very soon, in that case.
@kanefreeman1 You'll be glad to know that my colleagues at CSIRO (I say colleagues, but they're actually in a completely different field to me) have shown that the temperature needed to melt clathrates is actually slightly greater than originally predicted. Small comfort, I know, but a comfort nonetheless.
Well constructed piece, Peter. Accessible, effective, cautiously informative and balanced in it's perspective of entertainment's relationship with reality. Bravo!
Why not show the very real flooding from China to Tennessee? How about the droughts in Africa, and the resource wars leading to mass rape? There is so much real going on! Mudslides from violent heavy downpours...and dead vegetation without roots, from exposure to rising levels of toxic tropospheric ozone.
When will there be the equivalent movie to Dr Strangelove? Possibly the best movie on the subject of "Nooclear Combat - toe to toe with the Ruskies!" - and based on deep thought nuclear strategy.
The colossal blundering, greed, stupidity and existentialist enormity of AGW can only be expressed by Hollywood....

Yeap I would of picked Idiocracy when we worry about Global warming during an ice age. Or worrying about CO2 sky rocketing when it is at a near all time low in the past 500 million years.
Actually I was thinking Idiocracy should be a highly suggested viewing for those people worried about warming during the ICE AGE THAT WE ARE STILL IN and not going to leave for millions of years.
all time low of CO2 was during the last glaciation.
@OxAO Except that we are not in an ice age. You just made that shit up.
Oh, wait. You don't even have THAT ability - to make things up. You heard it only from propagandist lunatic fanatics Glen Beck & Rush Limbaugh & Faux News.
@OxAO So WHAT? You have a search engine search through shit, and guess what you'll find? SHIT!
It's a shame that the BEST science - the peer-reviewed journals - is NOT available online! Yes - that means you have to go to a LIBRARY for it.
Stop hurting the cause of UFO disclosure & 911 truth with global warming denialism. UFO/alien denialism IS unfortunately deliberately ignored by the mainstream academic science. Attacking them for the wrong thing (global warming) won't help.
@OxAO Looked it up on wikipedia: Quaternary glaciation or Pleistocene 2.58 Million years ago to present", meaning, it is either still going on or ended exactly 4 seconds ago. This period is referrred to as an "ice age" because at least one permanent ice sheet - Antarctica - has existed continuously.
@deskset24 We are still in glacial and interglacial periods. We are still in the ice age, just the warm side, and it is even warmer cuz humans have been industrializen the fuck out of the Earth for 2 hundred years +.
Ever notice that when the Earth was warmer than now Human civilization did not exist? Life yes, civilization no.
@232fred78 And the fact is that humans due to their excessive consumptions are increasing the atmosphere's and ocean's temperatures at a rate that is faster than our ability to adapt to it. That has been proven over and over. All the deniers have been debunked a thousand times over and now only impede the serious work of climate scientists and environmentalists.
Amazing you found a clip of 5 million years to earth, i remember seeing that at a drive in as a kid, It should be re-made its a great plot.
the problem with movies, is they need to make things go fast, and in reality climate change is here, but its gradual, 1 inch in ocean levels may not seem like much, but when more and more Hurricanes cause major floods this is where it will be noticed, 1-2 degrees may not seem like much to our skin, but to climate it is a big deal.
- Oh forgot to mention that in Blade Runner, "Acid rain" was pretty much in the news in the 80s, so I guess the writers figured that an Industrialized world would have Acid rain all over the place. Road Warrior is more about the peak oil problem, demand increasing and production dropping created wars, OPEC nations stopped producing and nuclear war followed. probably the most probable movie prediction that's likely to become reality. ( I think its started already ).
It may do you some good to watch ALL "Climate Denial Crock of the Week" videos before reaching such harsh conclusion. Then again I greatly suspect you are a fucktard denier.
I don't know if this was already addressed but Blade Runner was based on Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
In it the world has been abandoned as the result of a nuclear war, much of it is uninhabitable and parts of it are radioactive. Ridley Scott's take is probably closer to the common vision of nuclear winter at the time than it is of climate change per se.
I missed a reference to Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) the Aldiss/Spielberg film.. As with Blade Runner this is matter of fact about ClimateChange, not sensational.
no, the National Academy of Science, NASA, and the American Geophysical Union are better gauges of what is scientifically true. But Hollywood tells us how people are processing the idea.
Love your videos, but Blade Runner was set in the dark for practical reasons only - during the day Hollywood could be seen in the background! Don't know about the constant rain though...
Mega lolz at the Dennis Quaid joke. I work at Blockbuster and in my store we have the ability to judge how bad a film is by whether or not Dennis Quaid is in it.
Bladerunner is set in a dark rainy future because its more moody, not because of climate change. Its Cyberpunk and back then Cyberpunk was all dark, rainy and moody, with people in long coats and cybernetic eyes.
What does Hollywood have to do with Global climate models? The film maker has clearly ran out of ideas on the subject. This is just pandering to his YouTube channel.
While not a film, the multi-systemic failure of the earth's biosphere as depicted in Peter Watts' Rifters trilogy is perhaps my favourite. It depicts a world where flash floods and wild fires are every day events and the best stopgap solution to the next super-resistant plague is to firebomb the entire city where it's emerging before it can wipe out half the continent.
@Waldheri The problem with conspiracy theories is that they usually only have so much bunk - this is then regurgitated and recycled as "striking new results".. so often there's nothing more to debunk, unless you want to debunk the same old stuff again and again.. (which is needed, I agree).
this is about power look at all this look at what u lose when they force this bs climate change its part of agenda 21. people have rights al gore is a fraud .
Well these videos are far less than weekly now, aren't they? I love how the term has changed from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change." Because that's what the climate does, doesn't it now? And I'm not denying anything Science puts forth. I'm just surprised to see the so-called "experts" are now including old Hollywood movies as evidence. What's next, bible Scripture?
@bigboy45454545 "And I'm not denying anything Science puts forth."
No. Of course not. You wouldn't dare. You know where it would lead. You're simply casting doubts. Like the rest of your clan. You're transparent. Almost honest.
Btw, I like how you spell "science" and "scripture" with a capital "s". Nice touch.
@Meurglys33 And then I just sit back and wait for the retarded comments to come back to me. Yours is the first. I'm not a Scientist, but even they're allowed to be skeptical. This is part of the method. Do you know what this video is not? It's not Science. It's fear mongering for people with little understanding. People like you Poindexter.
@bigboy45454545 "you know what this video is not? It's not Science."
I don't think it was intended to be. Just like Peter never claimed to be an expert, you called him that. And stop spelling "science" and "scientist" with capital letters. We're not that vain.
"It's fear mongering for people with little understanding. People like you Poindexter."
Yeah... I don't fear climate change. I understand it. I study it. Not on youtube. Keep those labels coming. They're entirely making a point.
@Meurglys33 You understand climate change, really? I mean it's hard for experts to grasp the computer models. How many years of education on the subjects involved do you have? Why is your channel blocked from view? You're not a Catholic Priest are you? I could understand that. You'd have ignorance to spread and molesting to do. Am I close?
@bigboy45454545 You seem to think that by discrediting me you're discrediting the whole thing. Reminiscent of the monkey/Darwin picture used to discredit evolution...
Instead of this nonsense, why don't you just explain to us what makes you feel so uneasy about the prospect of a climate change or the absence of such a change. Help us help you.
"How many years..."
Several. Not enough to ignore you, tough. Sadly. Profit from this. Learn something. What about you btw? Born all-knowing?
@bigboy45454545 The holywood movies weren't put forward as "evidence".. the guy was making a point actually, that the claims of these movies are overexaggerrated, although they reflect the reality of what science has been predicting. Climate change is ceasing to be some bogeyman to scare people, but its actually happening.
@8DX What's the point he's trying to make? Is it that he's not a fucking scientist, and he has nothing to offer as a solution, but he offers his opinion on the subject anyways, so people can clap like trained seals and think you know something about it? Or is he just in love with Mel Gibson? Not questioning the material in garbage videos like this is shameful. Lap up the dog-shit like it's the most delicious meal ever, then ask for seconds.
@bigboy45454545 I think hes just showing the ways the popculture view of climate change have evolved. I feel this was meant to entertain rather than teach... did you read the description? And have you seen his other videos? No he's not a scientist, and he makes that clear. He is good at explaining this stuff tho, and he cites his sources. Anyone is free to check them, accept them, or reject them. He breaks down jargon, and makes it easier to digest for those who aren't experts on the topic.
@bigboy45454545 Where is this vehemence coming from? A guy makes a video showing how Hollywood misinterprets the science for impact, and shows several different examples of this being done. It is meant to be entertaining.
And you go on ranting and railing about how this isn't science. No duh, this is about Hollywood. Your statements have devolved into simple ranting an railing. As Shakespeare put it, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
@Elitistb616 Oh vehemence, good word, you earned a cookie. I'm on da-tubes here for shits and giggles. I offer many special comments on many videos, it's not really trolling forsay. More like my special brand of humor. My Mom thinks I'm funny and handsome. I question the motivations of many people including this dude. You tell me what's up with that carbon credit deal. It sounds sweet if you're the rich prick getting paid for nothing. Fuck me sideways.
@bigboy45454545 Ah, so basically you're just trolling for comments, and don't believe a word of what you're actually saying. Gotcha.
The carbon credit deal? It isn't particularly advantageous to rich people. It is a method of partnering rich, ridiculously carbon polluting corporations with other groups who use greener, less carbon polluting company.
That's its intent, anyway. You might notice that republicans are against it, which means it probably works.
@bigboy45454545 Since I just reiterated the points greenman was making, why don't you just re-read my comment. Also, greenman has lots of video directly showing the scientific evidence referencing papers / studies / scientists / climatologists. Go watch them. He is not just offering his opinion. He shows the basis for his opinion. And you should actually rewatch this video - greenman questions all of these videos and directly says they are exaggerated.
@bigboy "I love how the term has changed from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change.""
There's a couple reasons it has changed. First of all, to keep morons from saying "Why's it so cold in the winter then?!"
It's avg global temp that is warming, not necessarily the temperature in our back yard... and the forecasted change is a matter of a couple degrees C, which is significant, but not enough to turn winter into summer
Another reason is that warming is just the first part of the process.
@J0hnnyH3mps33d Thank you for your input. Now I could listen to this video or even your limited knowledge on the subject, or I could find out what experts are truly saying on the subject. Unfortunately not many people do the latter. Instead they choose to buy what the media's selling them, then mix in bullshit like this and ta-da, most people are ignorant. That's true of most subjects I guess. Many people believe people lived with dinosaurs. These same people offer opinions on many topics.
@bigboy45454545 I agree with basically everything you just said... so does greenman, I'd imagine.
But, u obviously didn't read the description or even listen to the first 50 seconds where he explains that movies shape people's perceptions of reality, & that the movies we've made addressing climate change all have wildly varying degrees of accuracy (thus, most people have skewed views of climate science). Do you disagree with this argument? If not, then what is the point of your original comment?
@J0hnnyH3mps33d Well that's true, but if I agreed with everyone here I couldn't get into meaningless little spats. It's fun this. Just disagree with anyone on the topic and suddenly you're a monster and a science denialist. :-)
@bigboy45454545 Climate Change is more accurate than Global Warming, because human-enduced warming is leading to many more effects than just temperature rise (drought, weather patterns, sea levels), and may also lead to signigicant cooling in certain parts of the globe.
So what should have been common knowledge by 1958 is still being denied by mainstream America? Climate Change denialists are catching up with creationists.
Total Fiction just like the film....

it's typical of myopic deniers to conclude that if ice sheets started to collapse, we'd all just build dikes around every city in the world, move cities, build new ones, geoengineer... and yet tear their hair out over tiny subsidies to renewable energy that could avoid the whole problem.....

LOL @8:58... Best... Denis Quaid movie.... ever, though Traffic was good too :-). On a side note it was the only movie in your example that had any science at all, even if it was a dramatisation simply to sell more tickets. The movie was a "what if" scenario based on a disruption of the ocean conveyor belt, which scientist know is a delicate system, though where hollywood come in and science leave is that such a disruption will cause 3 supestorms and world wide catastrophe.
MrJesushands 1 year ago
I haven't seen any of these movies as I tend to avoid popular culture. I also avoid watching the television news because any scientific things they report on are usually misrepresented due to a severe lack of scientific understanding on the part of anyone working in that industry. I do however, use my experience as a scientist to objectively study published information about the effect of climate change on ecosystems and am convinced its worse than the accepted projections.

Using numbers from the US DOE, China alone will be emitting ~25Gt CO2 by yr 2050, in a 'bus. as usual' scenario, or ~19Gt in an 'extreme austerity' scenario. This ignores The other 2 economies which will have passed the US in CO2 emissions by then. Compare that with ENTIRE WORLD CO2 emissions of a mere 8Gt for the yr 2005 from CDIAC. Given the reality of the above numbers, which are NOT disputed, what kind of fool could possibly believe that it's possible to trim CO2 emissions by ANY amount?

@PariahDark
People of wrongly assume Mad Max represents a post-nuclear apocalypse world. It does not.
Here's the start of the Wikipedia plot summary:
"A narrator describes that the world has "crumbled and...the cities have exploded;" uprisings and social disorder due to energy shortages have destabilized the country; and that "two mighty warrior tribes" had gone to war."
LittleJon2000 1 year ago
@LittleJon2000 It is not incorrect. The kid narrating says two "tribes" had gone to war and in the third film it is made perfectly clear that it was a nuclear war.
PariahDark 1 year ago
@PariahDark Ah, yes. The third movie was considered to be something of a departure from the first two in that regard. I remember reading the press previews before it came out which specifically stated that and said that in some regards it was considered to be a different story based around the same character.
The injection of large amounts of production money by Warner meant this was considered to be more of a Hollywood movie than the previous 2 and that had changed the complexion of the film.

Hello Greenman,
I have to disagree with you, when you said "Still 200 feet, with up to 6 feet of that possible in our children's lifetime. "But, what if a positive feedback system is created due to global warming causing methane pits under the ocean or beneath swamps to melt. Things could get very hairy, very soon, in that case.

- Oh forgot to mention that in Blade Runner, "Acid rain" was pretty much in the news in the 80s, so I guess the writers figured that an Industrialized world would have Acid rain all over the place. Road Warrior is more about the peak oil problem, demand increasing and production dropping created wars, OPEC nations stopped producing and nuclear war followed. probably the most probable movie prediction that's likely to become reality.

I don't know if this was already addressed but Blade Runner was based on Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
In it the world has been abandoned as the result of a nuclear war, much of it is uninhabitable and parts of it are radioactive. Ridley Scott's take is probably closer to the common vision of nuclear winter at the time than it is of climate change per se.
Anyway, as always, great videos!

@bigboy "I love how the term has changed from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change.""
There's a couple reasons it has changed. First of all, to keep morons from saying "Why's it so cold in the winter then?!"
It's avg global temp that is warming, not necessarily the temperature in our back yard... and the forecasted change is a matter of a couple degrees C, which is significant, but not enough to turn winter into summer
Another reason is that warming is just the first part of the process.
