We can't say we haven't been warned. Hollywood (OK, a dubious messenger if ever there was one) has conjured images of environmental disasters at least since the debut of talkies.
We've found some stand-outs, each with a different horrific result. Dancing man-frogs, fertilo-fascism, no-grain bread and saffron hekinis (see photo). All have been foretold.
Check out our featured article: 5 Environmental Futures That Await Us If We Don't Clean Up Our Act

ha! i loved that article. its true. who knows what kind of weird scifi future we'd have if we didnt help clean up the environment. maybe even a rundown police state like in The Running Man or total anarchy like in Waterworld.
the relation to movies is interesting but makes sense because every movie is about a problem that could really happen. they should make horror movies like that then it would really scare people cause it really could happen
i dont know what to expect if we dont start saving the environment. But i have a good piece of advice. you'd better get like 1-2 years of food supply for your family, because once the environment gets to the point where we cant grow food, a tomato will be worth its weight in gold, and people will kill you to get it.
Did anyone else notice when these movies were made? They were made over thirty years ago. Last I checked, none of the stuff they predicted has turned out to be true.
Maybe this should be a warning about listening to people who make money off telling you BS that sounds cool.
Gee, I can name one that most environmentalists would avoid, check the url. While we're at it, why not name "10.5," "Solar Attack," "Solar Crisis," and so on on movies about people that do something. Anyone ever, instead of looking at the atmosphere, ever look -past- it?
Yeah well they made the "American President" with Annette Benning ragging at Micheal Douglas about GLOBAL WARMING in 1985! No one listened and now we have it. Hollywood may know something after all!
