‘24’ Star Sutherland: ‘Global Warming Is A Crime For Which We Are All Guilty!’ By Noel Sheppard | July 21, 2007 - 17:36 ET
Remember all that media chatter in January about the hit TV series "24" being conservative?
Well, the producers have announced the following (emphasis added, h/t NBer amber):
"24," the Emmy Award-winning series from Imagine and Twentieth Century Fox Television, will strive to become the first television production ever to save enough energy and reduce enough carbon emissions over the course of a season to render its entire season finale "carbon neutral."
Star Kiefer Sutherland has already filmed a public service annoucement which begins: "Global warming is a crime for which we are all guilty!"
Think that will put to rest all the "24" is conservative nonsense? No, I don't either. Regardless, here's their plan:
Introducing the use of biodiesel fuels to power generators and production vehicles;
Previously, the show powered its electric generators and large transportation vehicles with diesel fuel. This season, the show intends to use a combination of petroleum diesel and biodiesel (a clean-burning alternative fuel produced from renewable resources), which should result in emission reductions ranging from 5% on the vehicles to as much as 100% on the generators.
Running all on-stage production activities on "green power";
Through the L.A. Department of Water and Power, the show will purchase all of its energy from renewable power sources (such as wind, water and solar). As a result, this "green energy" will be brought into the Los Angeles power grid from outlying areas, thereby reducing overall emissions and pollution in greater Los Angeles.
Rewiring an entire stage to use electric, rather than diesel-generated, power;
Previously, one of the two stages housing "24"' had insufficient power capacity necessary to light the sets and run the equipment, necessitating the use of supplemental diesel-gas-fueled generators. Twentieth Century Fox Television is investing in rewiring this building, which it leases, so that no diesel generators will be needed this season.
Integrating fuel-saving and low-emission hybrid vehicles into the production fleet;
This season, the show intends to incorporate as many lower-emission vehicles as possible into departments that require considerable road trave,l such as Locations, Transportation and Production Assistance.
Creating a series of PSAs about the issue starring Kiefer Sutherland and key cast members;
Kiefer Sutherland has already shot a public service announcement describing "24"'s commitment to this issue. This season, the series intends to participate in a series of PSAs educating viewers about climate change and offering information about how they can be part of the solution.
When appropriate, incorporating the issue of global warming and the importance of carbon emission reduction into storylines;
Posting information, resources and do-it-yourself techniques for viewers to reduce their own carbon footprints on the "24" page at Fox.com;
Accruing enough carbon reduction savings through these and other innovations to render production of the entire final episode officially "carbon neutral."
Carbon neutrality refers to a product having a balance of zero between the amount of carbon absorbed and the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere during the production of the product. Carbon neutrality is achieved through energy reduction, green power use, and purchasing "offsets" which represent investment in alternative energy and carbon reduction.
Great. Now one of my favorite shows has become part of Al Gore's scam.
And I was having such a great Saturday.
It's amazing how gullible some actors can be. I thought maybe Kiefer was smarter, but I guess not.
*snort*
>>>Star Kiefer Sutherland has already filmed a public service annoucement which begins: “Global warming is a crime for which we are all guilty!” <<<
I guess I won’t be watching “24” again. Too bad. It was a good series until Jack exposed himself as an American-hating, left-wing radical, who is more driven toward the advancement of big-government socialism, than the truth.
This is almost more than I can comprehend. Who would have dreamed that the son of an extreme left-wing radical (Donald Sutherland) would become an extreme left-wing radical?
I think it’s ok for actor’s or anyone to voice their opinion ... that’s what free speech is all about ...but when they voice their ignorance of the subject .......
Stay in Hollywood long enough, and the brainwashing will be accomplished.
It also just posted the next season of 24 the president is a woman.
Yet another reason to dump the show. I won’t be watching any of it. They took a good thing and ruined it by letting the star flap his mouth about junk science, and putting a hillarybeast in the WH.
Again, buh-bye 24.
Hey Jack, Shut up and Kill.
We watch you to kill people not to give your thoughts on Global Scamming.
Pray for W and Our Troops
In Kiefer’s defense, I think everything he says in the PSA was scripted and given to him.
What’s more concerning to me is that the actress who plays Chloe is going to be forced into this crap too. And she has stated on multiple occasions that she is apolitical and couldn’t care less about this crap. She turned down an interview with NPR and says that people keep asking for her views on terrorism and she responds with, “I’m just an actress, I’m not an expert on terrorism...or anything at all.”
I hope they don’t pressure into becoming one of them, because she has clearly stated, she is just an actress and wants to be left alone on these issues.
Maybe he had to pay tribute to the GW goddess.
Kiefer working on reducing his carbon footprint.
those pictures are hilarious.
Well, once people see that PSA...the show is toast.
Maybe my fav Chloe could come out and disprove Jack and take over the show!!! Nah. I'm done.
So much for my hero, being a hero.
Hubby just went to fox.com/24 and registered. They make you wait a day, and then you can post comments. Many of the comments are saying what we’re saying. Lots of unhappy viewers!
