around the world.
theres a local group here but i havent heard of any protests theyve done.
im rewatching likely socialist director's james camerons titanic. movie came out in 1997 and by that time he was a famous director. the movie looks like its a metaphor for our civilization. the captains of the titanic are drunk at the wheel, like our modern day captains of industry are drunk with greed. they crash the titanic and it sinks and the poor drown in the rising waters while the rich are more likely to escape. although i dont really think the rich will escape global warming if we fail to stop it.
im guessing james cameron met alot of CEOs and politicians and knew their thoughts on them believing in global warming and yet still polluting anyways. so i think thats why this movie is very interesting.

leonardos character is poor and barely gets on to the ship to have any fun. indeed, he only gets on because of luck. theres a stark difference in class between his room and the rooms of the rich girl.
the ship appears to be beautiful. but beneath the surface we see the hard work conditions which make it possible.
the main ladys age throughout the film could be a metaphor for our civilization. many people say were currently in a period of late capitalism.
We're certainly in a period of improper grammar.
he says this quote after a very emotional scene. probably one of the most important quotes in the film:
Brock Lovett: [Lewis, to old Rose, Lizzy and the rest of his staff] 26 years of experience working against him. He figures anything big enough to sink the ship they're gonna see in time to turn. The ship's too big with too small a rudder. It doesn't corner worth a damn. Everything he knows is wrong.
inequality and corruption:
Thomas Andrews: Mr. Lightoller, why are the boats being launched half full?
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Not now, Mr. Andrews.
Thomas Andrews: Look, 20 or so in a boat built for 65? And I saw one boat with only 12, 12!
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Well, we weren't sure of the weight, Mr. Andrews. These boats may buckle.
Thomas Andrews: Rubbish! They were tested in Belfast with the weight of 70 men! Now, fill these boats, Mr. Lightoller, for God's sake, man!
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Please, I need more women and children, please!

Meanwhile, passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats, many of which were launched only partially loaded.

You get a lot out of drama. Facts and drama don’t mix well with you.
im suprised how many people on here cant get anything out of stories.
just because somethings a story doesnt mean you cant learn anything from it.
It will be fine

Hydrogen goes boom.
so does gasoline
you can look up interviews with leading politicians in miami about how they are already fighting rising waters:
Miami's affluent 'climate refugees' seek higher ground | DW | 27.12.2018
It showed that values of homes along Miami's coastline have been dropping, while those at higher elevations are increasing.
Sea levels are predicted to rise by 13-34 inches (33-86 centimeters) over the next 40 years.
