In anticipation of Earth Day 2022, it is a good time to reflect on the upcoming 50th anniversary of the release of the eco-apocalypse movie Soylent Green:
It’s the year 2022. Cumulative effects of overpopulation, pollution, and “climate catastrophe” have caused severe worldwide shortages of food, water, and housing. Scientists confirm oceanographic reports saying the oceans are dying. The food chain is disrupted. Food is becoming scarce, and the temperature is so hot that heat waves have become year-round thanks to climate change aka “global warming.”
Homeless people are everywhere; only half the workforce is employed while the other half is barely making it. Many people are illiterate and few factories are producing new goods.
The homes of the elite are barricaded, with private security. Only the elite can afford air conditioning. Strawberries are now a delicacy at $75 a quart. The situation with food has gotten so bad that people are being harvested off the streets and “recycled protein” is being distributed to the population.
The movie Soylent Green was produced and filmed in 1972 and released in 1973. It is a futuristic tale of doom, describing life in the year 2022.
We are living in that year, and things aren’t anywhere near as bad as the movie portrayed. While some of the items it touched on (self-inflicted thanks to COVID-19, green energy policy, inflation) might be considered climate-caused by “climate activists,” the climate itself is not a catastrophe when you look at real-world data.
For example, March 2022 global temperatures measured by satellite are 0.27°F (0.15°C) and U.S. temperature measured by the U.S. Climate Reference Network, is just 0.38°F (0.21°C) above normal; nearly undetectable fractions of a degree, with little change measured in the United States over the past 17 years.

Global Crop production is actually up significantly according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture division. The Earth has actually become greener according to NASA, thanks to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. And, air pollution is down 50 percent or more since 1990, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The EPA added this note to their report: “During this same period, the U.S. economy continued to grow, Americans drove more miles, and population and energy use increased.”
We aren’t using humans for food yet, but we are using babies for fuel.
What is a baby if not human?
it’s worse.
McDonalds and other chains use human meat
to protect the Congress/Xidens who eat children
and drink their adrenochrome - protected by the FIB/MSM.
and the population has been genocided by mRNA-nanoparticles
tested only to kill, sterilize, maim and abort.
sci fi NEVER predicted what IS. NEVER even close.
OK, we’re not using humans for food, we’re using them for fuel.
The EPA added this note to their report: “During this same period, the U.S. economy continued to grow, Americans drove more miles, and population and energy use increased.”

In 1972, almost ever sunrise and sunset was red or orange. That was back when we needed an EPA to clean our water and our air. Yep, I actually said that. Real pollutants were being dumped into our air and into our water on an industrial scale, and not only did they cause acid rain, depletion of the ozone, and greenhouse effects, but they were actually bad for people and the environment.
Now, most sunrises and sunsets are bright white, unless there is moisture or a storm system on the horizon. Now, we attack a myth known as carbon. Attacking carbon dioxide will actually cause the dystopia you see in Soylant Green. In fact, we are on that very path right now with energy related inflation and food shortages.
And I knew that 50 years ago when I saw the movie. Total junk. The only good part was seeing a great actor in his final last role, Edward G. Robinson, other than an uncredited part in a movie called Mooch.
To me it looked like a world run by a Democrat only system. Just look at Shitcago and NYC.
2022 ain’t over yet.
and when they outlaw beef and then run low on plants to make the fake meat??? Soylent Green.
That’s nuthin’!
In 2505 Americuah is running short of burrito toppings and stuff:

Soylent Green is about the horrors of communism. Anyone says different is purposely misleading you, or too dumb to comprehend what they watched.
Did Soylent Green even make money at the Box Office?
I know it has a cult following.
The year isn’t over yet.
Got that right (all points).
Where the hell is that crap selling for $14/pound???
