The movie was based loosely on a ‘non-fiction’ book written by radio host and conspiracy theorist Art Bell.

So basically, that’s where we are currently with the state of discourse involving environmental science. We are being warned about something of massive significance and dire consequence by way of a reference to a 20 year old Roland Emmerich movie based on a book written by a loonie…

I’m not real hopeful for our chances as a species…

For the clicks.

‘Scientist warn that environmental acronym is fucked’ is a headline everyone has learned to tune out.

But if maybe Jake Gyllenhaal can save us… I mean, now you want to know more, right?

Oh thank God… We almost had to use the metric system there didn’t we?

Tennessee…

Seriously… is the cabinet full of bootlickers going to stop him from dropping a nuke?

Fucker wanted to nuke a hurricane, and it’s not like the hurricane spiked gas prices or tanked his approval rating…

Right, his revenge vendetta against… the wind.

I don’t remember what the fuck that’s about: Is that one of the important ones that we need to keep track of like how he fucks little kids or wants to invade Canada, or is that one just background noise that can be safely ignored like how he pretends to be tall or how he wants to fuck his own daughter?

God, I’m so tired…

Yay, new technology for turning humans into body parts.

I’m sure we, as a species, will use this technology responsibly…

Fetishizing mythology as national policy.

Yeah. Great. Sure.

Fucking kill us all because school teachers are secretly centaurs in disguise and the Ark of the Covenant contains a coupon for a free Lexus, and if you’re special enough to believe in White Jesus then heaven is a gated community, and they have the best HOA ever.

Like, maybe it’s just better if Homo Sapiens doesn’t survive?

Ha ha!

It’s funny because no one in a position of power will try and stop him and he will fucking kill us all for his vanity, or to escape narcissistic injury, or because he’s bored…

Wait… yeah, that’s not funny. Can someone please take away grampas nuclear weapons and put him in a home/jail?

Sure we will!

Human-driven climate change will accelerate the Holocene mass extinction, ending Homo Sapiens - and with us will go all carbon-producing industry.

The carbon thing finds its equilibrium after some tens of thousands of years, and the climate stabilizes some hundreds of thousands or millions of years after that. And then, provided the biosphere wasn’t damaged beyond its ability to compensate or regulate for the increased solar luminosity that has occurred since the last “Hot-House Earth” climate, it will recover and heal.

And if not, then we’ve killed everything down to the tardigrades, and probably them too, and we end up with a runaway greenhouse Venus type situation some 0.3 - 0.6 billion years early.

The pothole is a powerful medical tool.

In the industry I’ve heard tell of it cardioverting patients out of SVT, killing patients with an AAA, and spilling the coffee of medics who were not vigilant about their drink discipline (SCMWWNVADD)

As if the gelatinous tub of whale meat has enough of an attention span to remain focused on an entire military campaign?

I had to read the headline three times before it made sense.

… It wasn’t worth it.

Much would be solved if we were to eat one of them. I mean, it works for the chimpanzees…
