You know how it is with climate change. Scientists show you pictures of flooded continents that they produced via simulation, weather conditions oscillate now from fires and heatwaves to hurricanes and floods in the areas where there hadn't been one. And unless you're there being killed, you just scroll. Greta Thunberg is literally pissed as she was born in times where a bunch of morons through years of neglect had devastated her time on this planet and she has the right to protest. Meanwhile, global corporations produce more and more CO2 and think about how can they still make waste while making a profit. And you are digging into Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson's situation. Or worrying about inflation or a broken washing machine.
You know how it is with pandemics: millions are dead, half the world is vaccinated, but there are still those who deny the existence of the Covid-19 virus and die while being converted. You know that politicians repeat what they want to repeat, that data and people actually educated in the matter are not loud enough among the self-educated crowds with no medical experience who always know better.
And now you might learn what will happen if a comet tries to strike our dear Mother Earth and what actions will be taken by scientists, politicians, and media. And boy, it's a hell of a ride. A tragic portrayal of us: a population that thanks to technology should have become smarter, but failed somewhere along the way. A catastrophe to come and our laughable actions to prevent it. Just Don't Look Up.
A reminder: the star of this film, one and only Leonardo Dicaprio produced a documentary on climate change Before the Flood. Might it be that he knows more? Let's do him a favor and rewatch:
