The climate crisis is the biggest story of our time. So why isn’t the entertainment industry acting like it?
You’d think liberal Hollywood types — with their Teslas and vegan diets and eco-friendly beauty products — would be chomping at the bit to tell stories about climate. But despite a few high-profile examples — such as “Don’t Look Up” — global warming is largely absent from nearly all the TV shows and movies being produced today, according to a new report out of USC.
It’s a collective failure of epic proportions — not just for human civilization, but also for TV and film audiences.
“As the crisis worsens and more Americans gain first-hand experience to climate change, stories that do not acknowledge climate will begin to feel irrelevant or divorced from reality,” the report states. “Telling climate stories is not just good for the planet, it is in the best interest of an industry that seeks to engage audiences through authentic characters and narratives.”
As a journalist deep in the climate trenches — and a young person concerned for my own future — I agree that we need climate stories on our screens to help people understand what’s happening and motivate them to fight for solutions.
At the same time, the idea of such a scary topic working its way into my entertainment is, well, kind of scary. As much as some folks loved “Don’t Look Up,” I didn’t especially enjoy it. It made me feel gloomy. Do I really want or need more of that?

if you want to be entertained ask one of these libholes to explain the difference between climate-change & weather
Sure We already have more token “POC” on shows movies and commercials
So just add thrilling “Globull “Warming’” suspenses and let’s watch your remaining TV and movies audiences dwindled to near zero
Recipe for success if there ever was one
Besides, comedies on the subject will be more entertaining
People are barely going to movies now because we’re tired of leftist B.S. being flung in our faces.
People mostly go to movies or watch TV to be entertained, not lectured to by a bunch of smelly progressives.
Throw that global warming hoax crap in there and you might as well stop making movies or TV shows.
No, you’re thinking of Hyman Roth. He was big in Havana.
Sammy Roth graduated high school in 2010. BA from columbia in “sustainable development.” Another highly qualified omniscient millenial.
LOL!

Being from East Tennessee, I followed more country music than anything else, and really only to listen to it...Wasn’t much of a music buff...
New this fall on ABC - Greta Thunberg stars in “How Dare You!” a one-hour show where Greta is stuck in a temporal vortex where she rants “how dare you” for eternity.
Bigger than US Steel, in fact.
Exactly it is in many movies and shows.
No, just commenting on the line you put in...
The left is definitely more organized than we are...

Gilligan’s island is a good example of low carbon foot print.
They didn’t even have private jets..several mansions..computers ..or cell phones..
“Climate change” equals WEATHER!
Always had “weather”, always will.
Sometimes its good, sometimes its bad (ice ages).
Fallacy #1: Puny Hu-man can create climate change.
Fallacy #2: Puny Hu-mans can do ANYTHING about it.
The Erff is YUGE, the oceans are VAST.
We don’t and CAN’T control the sun. (thank GOD, literally)
Climate change, where is the PROOF? Where are the submerged cities? Where are the submerged islands? Where are the radical weather patterns THAT HAVEN’T HAPPENED BEFORE?
Why was the Great Barrier Reef on dry land for centuries?
Why are there ancient cave drawings in the deserts of Africa of wildlife and FISH? How could they even know about those to be able to draw them?
Solomon was a wise man.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 NIV
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Needs a haircut.
Global warming crap will get me to turn it off even faster than dudes kissing.
That’s because they want to make at least some money.
Climate stories are a threat to democracy.
Nothing but Big Brother BS from now on.
