How much do you want to bet global warming causes sharknadoes?

No, really, after the week we’ve had where every opportunist out there is trying to blame global warming for the Moore Oklahoma tornado, I’m not kidding. Sharknadoes are the new EF10. The brief description:

When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace. And when the high-speed winds form tornadoes in the desert, nature’s deadliest killer rules water, land, and air.

This is actually a movie in production with a cast. I can’t tell yet if its an eco-thriller in the Day After Tomorrow genre or high camp of the Plan 9 From Outer Space genre. Whatever it is, the poster and DVD cover artwork says it all.

Sharknado

No word yet on whether James Hansen, Bill McKibben, Brad Johnson, and Joe Romm make cameo appearances.

It is really poor timing and in poor taste (as Senator Whitehouse tried and learned) on the part of the producers to make this film and highlight it at Cannes Film Festival.

I’ll bet it doesn’t hit Compton, or South Central. Nah, it’s going after Santa Monica, Westwood, and Century City. Watch them run screaming on Rodeo Drive! You can bet your bippy!

It was the cover to get James Hansen out of NASA. See Argo, the movie.

Naturally the house with solar cells and a home composting system HAVE TO SURVIVE – because they were busy MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

Perhaps they will measure the shark’s carbon footprint.

Ummm, what happens when they hit the windmills?

Sharknado is on Facebook!
The movie was known about since last November:

‘Sharknado’: New Best Thing Ever
Posted 11/2/12 4:00 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Humor

The Asylum is shopping a movie around the American Film Market this week that is a high concept monster-meets-disaster movie. Yes, it is about a bunch of sharks who get caught in a storm and wreak havoc on the world. Probably not the best timing for this announcement considering a Miss Hurricane Sandy who recently devastated the east coast, but clearly this movie is meant to be taken with a grain of salt.

Personally I preferred Piranhacane! After the Gulf Stream cranks up to hyperactive speeds as the Earth desperately tries to shed the near-runaway ocean warming by dumping it to the remaining shards of disappearing Arctic ice, a massive hurricane forms that sweeps across the Amazon, spawning tornadoes that suck the fish upwards, right from the river waters. The hurricane quickly sweep northward, drenching the East Coast.
With the warmth and water having suddenly transformed the entire East Coast into fetid swampland (principal filming was done in Louisiana after Katrina when extras would work for food), the survivors come forth to seek survival in the ruins. And find how deadly the water itself has become. How even attempting boat travel, yields waves of sharp flying death that will shred flesh from bones!
Seriously, the most terrifying moment I have ever experienced in film, was when the 38DD blonde discovered the fishies had invaded the municipal plumbing, when she sat down on the porcelain for a leak. I am so grateful this house has a sealed septic tank so that would be impossible here. *shudder*

I wonder if Tara Reid is a scientist like she is in one of the lowest-rated movies in history (“Alone in the Dark,” co-starring Christian Slater). In her defense, she portrayed a scientist better than many so-called climate scientists do.

In a warmer, wetter world, slime mold, aka “dog vomit” becomes increasingly prevalent, overtaking entire gardens. Then, in a freak accident at one of the few remaining nuclear power plants, some slime mold becomes exposed to radiation, causing it to mutate in a deadly fashion. Coming to theaters soon – it’s SLIMEAGEDDON. Bring your own barf bag.
Can I have my $million now?
