‘Greens’ Want Hollywood To Promote Climate Disasters In Movies

Written by Chris Morrison on March 2, 2024. Posted in Current News

Billionaires are pouring money into discreet campaigns to persuade Hollywood writers to catastrophize the climate in future film and television scripts

One of their main vehicles is Good Energy, which tells writers that showing anger, depression, grief, or other emotions in relation to the climate crisis, “can only make characters more relatable”.

Los Angeles-based Good Energy is funded by numerous billionaire foundations including Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Sierra Club, and the Climate Emergency Fund; the latter operation is part-funded by Aileen Getty who is one of the paymasters of the Just Stop Oil pests.

Good Energy aims to weave climate alarm into all types of filmmaking, especially if it is NOT about climate.

With the support of Bloomberg, it recently published ‘Good Energy – A Playbook for Screenwriting in the Age of Climate Change’.

It claims the Playbook is “now the industry’s go-to guide to incorporating climate into any storyline or genre”. As with almost all green campaigning groups, Good Energy would not exist without the support of billionaire funding.

These operations seek a supranational collectivist ‘Net Zero’ solution to a claimed ‘climate emergency’. Good Energy acknowledges it would not exist without this funding, adding, “As collaborators and champions, each has provided a unique contribution for which we are endlessly grateful”.

Announcing the launch of the ‘Playbook’, Bloomberg Philanthropies, the tax-efficient ‘charity’ channel for distributing the wealth of former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, noted that “accurate and relatable storytelling about climate impacts and solutions can grow public support and motivate decision-makers”.

As regular readers of the Daily Sceptic will recall, billionaire foundations are grooming populations around the world by funding a variety of press, political, and academic operations.

Most significant nonprofit bodies seeking to stop the use of hydrocarbons are funded from these sources. Few green campaigns arise from ‘grassroots’ these days. Put to the vote, for instance, the Green Party in the U.K. loses most of its election seat deposits.

Since this is La La Land, Good Energy has some relevant advice for writers to normalize ‘climate-friendly’ actions.

“Let’s reimagine what it looks like for a character to eat a plant-rich diet (Michelin Green Star restaurant, yes!), attend a protest or upcycle vintage clothes. And if your story requires a yacht, why not make it solar powered.”

That last idea might appeal to super-yacht lover Leonardo DiCaprio, but private planes, the preferred method of transportation for many high-end Hollywood stars, might be a problem.

Is hypocrisy a problem with all this? Not according to the Playbook, which quotes climate activist Bill McKibben that “hypocrisy is the price of admission in this battle.”

For plebs, gammons, flyovers, and deplorables, this, of course, translates as “You do what you are told and radically change your lives – we don’t give a flying flamingo.”

Needless to say, a mere ‘climate crisis’ is not enough for über-woke luvvies. It is not separate from other critical social issues like racism, sexism, economic injustice, and war.

The Playbook notes that “Indigenous people are the first climate scientists, and Indigenous people are leading us through this climate crisis.”

Climate can be a “generative lens with which to view any subject or character”, the Playbook helpfully notes.

For scripted entertainment, observes Good Energy, “the emotional truth is as important as the literal truth”.
