Presumably then, ‘the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’ was a paean to Global Cooling
“James Cameron: The Titanic is Like Climate Change or Something,” JWF writes:
For the most part the Titanic special on NatGeo Monday night was an interesting look at the disaster of a century ago. But then moonbat director James Cameron had to go off the rails at the end. Thanks for wrecking two hours of viewing with political screed at the very end, Jim.
Cameron’s final word at the end of the documentary compared the modern system of the rich benefiting from an economic machine that plunges blindly headlong into disaster while the poor suffer the most in the fallout. Cameron compares the machine to global warming and the economic crisis. Unless there is a change, we’ll continue to relive the Titanic disaster, which is based on arrogance and greed regardless of future consequences.
The jump from the Titanic disaster to more metaphorical ideas about the economy and global warming is a bit of a stretch. Worst of all, Cameron comparing this to the Titanic makes these modern threats as unavoidable and dooming as an oncoming iceberg.
Fair enough. So when will Cameron take the pledge and renounce both his industry and his own personal life so that we know he’s serious about his pet cause, and not merely posturing?
If only that vile nasty Rethuglican president William MacKinley had adopted Obama’s carbon tax, the coal-fired Titanic would still be with us today, carrying the mega-rich Vanderbilts bankers and other 1%ers across the ocean in matchless luxury, majestically propelled by soot-belching EPA-less coal furnaces whose voracious appetites (nearly as voracious as the greedy Vanderbilts) were fed by coal scooped up by gangs of non-unionized tobacco smoking white male patriarchy in non-OSHA compliant work areas.
I understand there’s a government motors vehicle (hic) that runs on government waste, inertia, and cognitive dissonance. It’s called the Chevy Vermin. Or maybe it’s The Chevy Parasite, or the Chevy Looter or, the Chevy Blood Sucker. The commiittee hasn’t decided yet.
Why is it that the folks who purport to be the most worried about “climate change” are people like Cameron, Al Gore, Prince Chuckles, etc, each of who themselves have carbon footprints bigger than Luxemborg? It’s beyond hypocrisy, it’s just plain laughable. It’s like Michael Moore lecturing people on diet and exercise. Look in the mirror idiots, are you really that effing stupid?
The exact same thing can be said about social engineering–going full steam ahead into uncharted territory with nary a thought about second-order effects, convinced that all possible problems have been prepared for in full.
I’m usually more nuanced in my comments here on Ed’s site, but I just have to make an exception here: Cameron is a flaming hypocritical a**hole who makes bad movies. How anyone can not run screaming from dreck like ‘Titanic’ or ‘Avatar’ is just beyond me. If it weren’t for digital FX this guy would be pumping gas somewhere. And why any reporter can hear the words “arrogance and greed” come out of this nitwit’s mouth and not pin him to the wall beggars belief.
James Cameron has become even more annoying than Michael Moore,which I never thought possible. In addition to his hypocrisy on carbon footprints,he’s trying to destroy the economic engine of Canada.
Perhaps he’s produced so much fantasy on film he’s unable to differentiate his perfect little world from the reality the rest of us,the non-multi-millionaires,are forced to live in.
I will NEVER attend a Cameron movie and put money into the pockets of this bloody hypocrite. I suggest everyone who disagrees with his attempts to destroy industry do the same.
