A earth-shattering THUD!
The Showtime network
spent $20 Million to film a nine-part
Global Warming Climate Change
disaster flick.
It was produced by James Cameron and features walk-ons by such scientific luminaries as Harrison Ford, Don Cheadle, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jessica Alba, Matt Damon, Thomas (idiot) Friedman and others.
The first episode aired last night and the ratings were abysmal -- not even
in the top 100.
So much for the Anthropogenic Global Warming bandwagon...
The delicious irony was that they had Harrison Ford talking about the Indonesian Palm Oil industry. Farmers are plowing the rainforests to plant palm trees. The soil is actually not that good so after a few seasons, the trees will have depleted the nutrients in the soil and the land is destroyed.
It was the enviros pushing for bio-fuels that caused the palm plantations to be planted in the first place. The basic law of supply and demand. The enviros created an artificial demand through government subsidies and the Indonesian farmers were more than happy to cash in.
Idiots...
