Bill Maher's Racist Green Bloggers

Bill 'I am my own God and Yours Too' Maher has a blog site with an openly racist environmentalist ranting about "Protecting the White Environment." Most racist environmentalists usually hide their overt racism, although the vast majority of mainstream environmental groups openly practice discrimination in hiring and retaining blacks (There are about 4 notable exceptions, however). You wanna hear it uncut? Check this green-hooded tree hugger out.
To be fair to Maher, the site did ban the person posting the racist comments. Maher is adamant about free speech though so they left the post up. This is also explained by one of Maher's people (I assume) in comments.

The China Syndrome II: Climate Change

It is The Day After Tomorrow scenario: super hurricanes, killer tornadoes, melting ice caps, coastal flooding, droughts, wildfires and killer smog. Global warming and climate change have convinced Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas that nuclear power is the way to go because it is emission free and does not contribute greenhouse gases or smog forming gases to the atmosphere. Jack Lemmon does not have to be convinced. He was the pro-nuke corporate guy in the first film in 1979. Lemmon leads the charge as the advocate for using nukes to save Earth's atmosphere in this film.

Fonda, Douglas and Lemmon commandeer the controls of a national television network and demand that more nuclear plants and electric vehicles should be used worldwide. After they post bail, they testify before Congress and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission demanding the same. The film is a worldwide phenomenon and convinces the public that nuclear power and electric vehicles are the solutions for global climate change. Okay. We're dreaming. But we can hope.

God and Hollywood

Is there a rule in Hollywood movie productions that 'God Must Be Cursed' at least one time in each movie? The only exceptions (so far) are children's animations.

Terminator 3: Fuel Cells

It is revealed that the Terminator runs on a fuel cell. Talk about 'takes a licking and keeps on kicking.' Arnold states that, "When ruptured, the fuel cell becomes unstable." His chest mounted fuel cell (looks like a printer cartridge) blew up after he tossed it.

The Governator is working on a Hummer powered by a fuel cell. Reality mimics fantasy. And just as the cybernetic organism Arnold played in the movies had to repair himself, Arnold also had a major heart operation to correct a congenital condition. Hang in there governor. We're with you.

The Island: Pollution Lie

Miniature probes , pictured below, monitor body functions and L.A. has a skyhigh mass transit system.
Everyone wears white, everything is regimented, the people are supposedly the survivors of an environmental catastrophe and they are quarantined until chosen by lottery to go to the island, the last uncontaminated place on Earth. Of course, there was no catastrophe, there is no island and they are the unknowing clones of rich people - - to be used for body parts at some future date. Of course, the evil side of cloning and embryonic stem cell markets will clearly lead to this sort of abuse.

Erin Brockovich- Chromium $6

Hollywood can make a hit out of a pollution story.
It is reported that Erin Brockovich pocketed $2 million. Julia Roberts, left, was paid $20 million for the film. PG&E settled for $300 million. The movie grossed almost $100 million.

Brockovich stumbles upon medical records in a real estate file concerning one of her employer/attorney's clients, which piques her interest. Her interest grows as she learns more about Hinkley, California and its residents. It seems that a statistically disproportionate number of the residents were ill with rare diseases. Environmental justice advocates would have loved a movie that depicted pollution in minority communities. Of course, who would play Julia Roberts Erin Brockovich? Halle Berry? Would such a film be successful?

The Day After Tomorrow

What do you think about The Day After Tomorrow?
A definitive environmental film (overlooking some of the obvious scientific leaps), this science fiction epic ($500 million) captures the essence of climate change possibilities. Although warming is the scientific consensus, cooling could be just as catastrophic. Regardless, climate change due to human contributions of emissions to the atmosphere should be taken seriously. We cannot dump unlimited quantities of gases into the 100 mile atmosphere without consequence. Mankind and womankind are global managers. Since leaving the garden, we are responsible for controlling human and natural conditions in our atmosphere. Our oceans are also a big part of this equation.

The movie has the geeky black nerd, the genius son and the love interests. Another climatologist brother is in an interracial marriage, but he dies. Now the scientist might debate climate science in this movie, but the father walking from Philly to New York in a snow storm is Hollywood at its best.

The Matrix: There is no Clean Air Act

If you get asthma in The Matrix, you will have asthma out of The Matrix. In The Matrix: Reloaded movie smokestacks belch NOx, SOx, VOCs, carbon dioxide, mercury and heavy-duty particulate matter. You can see many stacks spitting black smoke. Plus, the highways are clogged with huge fume belching vehicles.Clearly there is no Clean Air Act in the movie world of The Matrix. If there is no Clean Air Act, then wouldn't the inhabitants get asthma? And if you get asthma in the Matrix, wouldn't you get it out of the matrix? Neo is already blind at the end of the trilogy. Imagine him being asthatic too.

John Travolta On Hybrids & Jets

Although John Travolta has a commercial-sized jet parked in his back yard and he flies it all over the world, his character in the movie "Be Cool" drives a Prius. Treehugger has a great blog on JT's movie Prius antics. And Vince Vaughn is hilarious 'acting black' in the movie. Note the L.A. smog behind Uma Thurman in the picture.
