Viral Climate Change Interview Eerily Mirrors Don't Look Up Video
A recent real-world interview about climate change eerily mirrors a scene from Don't Look Up. The Adam McKay-directed satirical film tells the story of two astronomers' attempt to warn the world of an approaching comet that will impact the Earth with such force as to wipe all of humanity from the face of the planet. In an in-your-face critique of modern political misinformation, the governments of the world struggle with the reality they face as they stumble over themselves with an appropriate response to the catastrophe. Critics and audiences were divided in their response to the bluntness of the black comedy, but many scientists approved of the film's message.
