Dismal ratings for DiCaprio's Global Warming Epic 'Before the Flood' – beaten by 'Bubble Guppies'

Cast of con artists …

I wonder if it would have been #62 if Eric Worrall (who must have a strong stomach) hadn’t ‘taken one’ for all of us by watching it for his review? ; )

My carbon footprint is a tiny fraction of that of each of the cast members. I’ve done my part, let me know when they’ve met my standard.

Although still somewhat doubtful, it seems that the general public may be finally “wising up” to the propaganda masters. With NASA and NOAA constantly having to change “their past records” in their attempts to agree with the wild model predictions/projections, it leaves those who foolishly claim that our claims of past temperatures and climate must be exact if NASA/NOAA/IPCC etc. says so, in a bit of a bind.
It couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people…

When are those who think they care about AGW going to stop canvassing each other for opinions and actually start talking to those they supposedly need to persuade? It doesn’t matter how many times they polish it, their message still looks like sh…
You can PR persuade people to choose something they already want but it’s very hard to nudge them into doing something they will hate. Cutting CO2 is very difficult, expensive, limiting and destructive. The public will never embrace it. They might grudgingly accept it but only with exemplary evidence, a sage plan for the future and an imformed, humble leadership. None of which is currently on the table.
I was pleased by DiCaprio’s movie. It demonstrated that they had even less to show the public than back in Al Gore’s time. No scissor lift to scare people into drawing the wrong conclusion. No spiraling hurricane counts. The evidence that renewables are a failure has rolled in since 2005 and all those green opportunities turn out to be fool’s green (like fool’s gold but less pretty).

It’s not the worst film in the world … but it’s very close.

And speaking of shows . . . I happened to catch an episode of “Explorer” on the National Geographic Channel the other night, starring none other than Bill Nye.
Of course the topic was ‘Global Warming’, though it was frequently referred to as ‘climate change’ during the program.
He had a part of the show where parts of southern Florida are already being inundated by “tidal flooding”, as a result of rising sea levels. Some scientist of one sort or another indicated that South Florida and indeed much of Manhattan could be fully flooded by the middle of this century. In fact, Bill said, some banks are no longer writing 30 year mortgages in the area because of the rising waters. I bet.
Another part of the show mentioned certain islands in the South Pacific where rising sea levels have already caused loss of property and potable water . . . from sea lever rise caused by global warming . . . caused by man-made CO2 emissions. Of that much Bill was certain. No mention of the parrot fish, the coral cycle or the fresh water lense. No. No actual science or investigation. Just unsupported pronouncements of ‘scientific fact’. Oh, and the statement that the time for scientific debate has passed . . .
Then they showed a sequestration plant . . . it could put 1 million tons of CO2 into the ground per year. Oh, but manmade CO2 emissions are so much more than that . . . like 30 billion tons or something. They showed a graphic, comparing what this one plant could sequester vs. the total of anthropogenic sources. Of course they didn’t bother showing the non-anthropogenic emissions. A very telling omission, in my humble opinion.
Then he went on about the weather; the hurricanes, the drought in California, tornadoes . . .then he added ‘the tsunami’ to the list of effects of climate change that are accelerating and causing destruction. I kid you not. When he was listing weather phenomena made more dangerous by anthropogenic global warming, he included the tsunami. Then he said ‘this is what the science tells us’, again reiterating that the time for scientific debate has passed. I was dumb struck by his lack of comprehension of the difference between speculation and science. And tsunami’.
Of course there was the hand wringing. The impending doom causing widespread depression amongst climate scientists. Then he visited this guy in New Mexico. This was an actual climate scientist of some sort or another, who gave up. He quite his job as professor of doom . . . er . . . climate science, bought a place in the New Mexico wilderness and set up his dooms day survival ranch. Him and his wife.
This guy says there will be no people left alive on the planet by 2030. I kid you not. Not that the planet would be uninhabitable by then, but that the plants and animals upon which we depend will have been wiped out by then. He didn’t bat an eye, he apparently didn’t even understand the contradiction of what he was saying. (apparently the Earth can be inhabitable by people but not the plants and animals upon which we depend . . . what does that mean, exactly?) It was an official scientific pronouncement, in the opinion of BIll Nye. We’re doomed. Well, even Bill had to admit that was among the more pessimistic views of CAGW. But this is a scientist after all, and you have to believe science. Or at least trust that Bill Nye knows the difference . . . I guess.
And this was on the National Geographic Channel. I watched with my eldest child, explaining at each step which parts were probably scientific (Earth warmed during the 20th century, more likely than not a significant portion was the result of anthropogenic emissions of CO2, etc.), which parts were unfounded speculation masquerading as science (the weather trends, the massively accelerated sea-level rise which would have to happen and which is not found in any actual science anywhere, the notions of ‘tipping points’, the mere concept that tsunami are in any way related to any form of climate change, etc.)
Anyway, with propaganda like this on NGC, its no wonder the uninformed think this is a real impending catastrophe. What chance to dim bulbs like Leonardo DeCaprio and Matt Damon have?
Just thought I’d throw out my $0.02 about the caliber of TV programing re;CAGW.

It’s really too bad that it wasn’t beaten by a South Park rerun of the ‘Manbearpig’ episode.

lower than CNN?!! what a downer.

Does Leo still think Chinook winds are something that just began a few years ago?

I watched the movie just to see what sort of bat to take to the next discussion with some local liberals. The interesting part is that Micheal Mann has completely gone off his rocker and is now a full on “conspiracy theorist” come political commentator (he is also being hunted by nasty threatening inferred to be “right wing crazies”). The other interview that was interesting was one he did in India with an Indian eco-loon who stated the case pretty well for why slowing down the rate of electrification is a hard sell in the developing world.

Sitting in a Doctors waiting room yesterday and picked up a 29th October 2016 New Scientist. Expecting to see the words”Climate Change” or ”Global Warming” on every second page, I was surprised that it was actually full of science Never saw ”Global Warming” or ”Climate Change ” anywhere (I was then called in to see doc and no chance to read magazine more closely.

LoL.
The warmer’s scam relies on gruber funding.
Should be bankrupt in 6 months.

I’m sure everyone flew to the various filming locations in their private jets.

Said DiCaprio on this news, “I’m willing to fly on however many private jets and take however many limos necessary to promote this film. “

Yes there is and always will be changes to the climate. It has been this way from day one. The ones screaming bout it now want to use it as a fear factor toward power and control over all of us. they will use the money we will be taxed to build bigger businesses for then selves and leave us in the dirt. they are all a bunch of thieves and need to be put away in a safe ;place for a very long tine

Imagine lecturing the world on climate when DiCaprio is a high school dropout. Full disclaimer: DiCaprio did later manage to get a GED.

Well, to quote Leo himself when Cal planted the Heart of the Ocean on him in Titanic, “This is horses#!t!”

Decrapio is a terrific actor but I’m glad most of you realize he is not a Rhodes scholar, the global warming pushers don’t even believe it, they just see it as a boondoggle to swindle more money from US taxpayers, sad for the taxpayers, sad for the intellectually bankrupt that buy into this nonsense

Better yet, 90 minutes and not one mention of Photosynthesis.. Shows how dumb they think we are.

could it be because its bulls##t?

Obscurity richly deserved.
People are sick of being told how to conduct their lives by supercilious snobs who heed none of their own dicta.
Obama has a pet dog flown to a vacation spot on a 747 as he lectured on carbon footprints.
Leo earns Chief Hypocrite award. Flies to an environmental confab aboard a gas guzzling private plane.
Etc., etc., etc.
