James Cameron on the Climate Crisis: ‘People Need to Wake the F–k Up’
By MATT DONNELLY
SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 6:00AM PTThis power couple has been championing environmentalist causes for decades. Suzy Amis Cameron has led a charge toward plant-based eating in efforts to reduce the dramatic carbon footprint that meat protein creates. James Cameron, the filmmaker behind classics such as “Titanic,” has woven climate-conscious themes into franchises like “Avatar.” He tells Variety the forthcoming three sequels will do the same.
The two are investors in the plant-based company Verdient Foods and contribute to numerous eco-causes, including Global Green and Oceana. Cameron does not mince words in sharing his thoughts on apathy about the climate crisis.
“People need to wake the f–k up,” the Oscar winner says. “We’re going the wrong direction as fast as possible. I like to say that we’re like Thelma and Louise. We’re driving straight toward the canyon at 90 miles per hour with the radio cranked up and the top down.”

The rest of the article is kind of a plug for James and his wife Suzy’s plant based food products.
Obviously I don’t agree with James Cameron’s dire climate pessimism, but as a fellow businessman I understand how frustrating it can be when people don’t rush to embrace your new product.
So here’s a thought Cameron; if you send me a sample of your Verdient Foods plant based food products, I’ll write a review for WUWT, and help you reach an audience beyond the vegan liberal climate worriers you currently appear to target.
I watched a lot of movies, good and bad (mosty bad) but I’ve never seen and won’t ever watch Avatar and Titanic — because Titanic is a socialist tear-jerker particularly recommended by the Commuist Party of China, while Avatar is an eulogy to the betrayal of the human race (which seems to be a personal obsession and a favorite idea of foul-mouthed, flthy rich habitual liars and politically correct weathervanes, James Cameron and Stephen King). They hate and despise human beings — everything they produce is a rotten fruit of that comtempt.
Last press release on the Verdient website (how long and how much did it cost to come up with that name?) was September 2017.
2 years later there no products listed.
Hmmm.
Google shopping does not know of the product.
I now have an easy choice, never to watch any of his f*$king movies or buy any of their f*$king products.
There Jimmy boy, fixed it for ya!
I wonder how much energy and resources were consumed during his long search for the Titanic, y’know, the unsinkable ship that sunk after hitting ice in the mid Atlantic ocean?
How Déjà vu odd!
I use similar language everytime I see that avatar trash scheduled for multiple showings over day on TV.
Someone must be paying big bucks to show that trash repeatedly.
Stupidest movie I ever started to watch….lasted 15 minutes. : )
Wow.
Thanks James… I think…
Reading his little hissy fit I do have to wonder if James has actually seen Thelma and Louise. If I recall correctly the entire driving off the cliff scene was not about blind stupidity, but more a deliberate decision to die free rather than be dragged down by an unfair and uncaring system.
As for Titanic, did it occur to anyone that if they actually had some solid Global Warming back in 1912 then maybe some of those passengers wouldn’t have frozen to death.
Also, ‘plant based food’? Sorry, but I already engage in that via my local Fruit and Veg shop.
Still, if James really wants me to start doing something about reducing my ‘carbon footprint’ I guess I could stop watching movies…
If you really want to reduce your ‘carbon’ foot prints, just wipe your feet on the doormat, before you come in the house.
James Cameron need to shut the f**k up until he knows what he’s taking about.
I’m actually sequestering Carbon to the tune of 18% of my body weight or 66% CO2 equivalent! This would be true whether I ate a steak sandwich or a tofu burger every meal. Only thing is tofu imitates estogen in the body which transgenderizes white toxic males. It may even be part of the тоталiтагуаи plan!
Another Hollywood dumb-ass. Sigh. Why does this Bozo’s opinion even merit mentioning? His films while, yes, featuring “state-of-the-art” (at the time) computer generated graphics, were, at best, mediocre. I, and almost everyone else, don’t care at all what he thinks.
The proper newspeak is “People need to woke the f..k up” James.
The re-education police will be around shortly.
We all know what “Avatar” was about !!!
JPP
I’m awake James, have been for 63+ years. I think I’ll pass on your climate friendly products. As a matter of fact, think I’ll drive the wife’s SUV around the block a few times in your honor and spew some plant life saving CO2 into the atmosphere.
Last steak on my table was from a bovine animal.
Bovines eat plants, that makes them “plant based”
All life on Earth is based on photosynthesis of atmospheric CO2 into carbohydrates.
Will Cameron give up his 20,000 sq ft home and multi-acre “compound” in Malibu, to move into a 15×20 ft 1-room “efficiency studio” apartment located next door to a public bus station — so he can take the bus to work?
That’s how the self-loathing, eco-facists want the rest of us to live
