For months, NewsBusters has jokingly referred to global warming as the liberal bogeyman.

In a recently released horror film entitled "The Last Winter," this tongue-in-cheek reference became reality as the evil apparition embodied by man's insatiable lust for fossil fuels actually comes to life to kill oil workers in Alaska.

Been reading some reviews about this. Rottentomatoes.com (a movie review site)is giving it rave reviews. In one scene, a heard of caribou ghosts stampede across the horizon, acting on behalf of other dead animals whose burial grounds have been violated by humans.

So it’s Swamp Thing of the Arctic?

So it’s Swamp Thing of the Arctic?....No, it’s a Sham Thing of the Libbies. Even scarier.

I wonder if algore wrote this piece of fiction as well as AIT?

[Billthedrill]

Dunno if it'll be as good as Black Sheep: The Movie. That one killed the mutant were-sheep industry in its infancy.

Sounds like the Day After Tomorrw movie.
The human characters were so irritating I was rooting for the storms.

I saw this movie, except it was called Prophecy and the year was 1979. And it involved paper mills instead of oil rigs.

Is this the vampire movie that took place in Barrow?

“Them” are giant ants. Sorry to spoil it for everyone.

Sounds like Night of the Lepus, but without the latter's campy film noir look, top-notch casting, or scientific credibility.

I`ll watch it when it comes on TV, because I like sci-fi and horror flicks. But movies like this do influence people, I believe. After the Three Mile Island nuke plant accident, I think the “China Syndrome” played a big part in driving the last nail into the coffin of nuclear power in the US.

No coincidence that photography and Marxism arose simultaneously. Even now most movies have a socialist theme.

Great!

I'll have to get that one.

Global warming fits right in with Hollywood fantasy so I can relax and get away from the drudgery of reality watching it.

“In one scene, a heard of caribou ghosts stampede across the horizon, acting on behalf of other dead animals whose burial grounds have been violated by humans.”

Another cult classic is born.

In the old Godzilla movies there is a monster named Hedorrah that lives in the ocean and is made out of oil/pollution/garbage. It is interesting that many of the original Godzilla movies have anti-human themes, (the monsters are actually created by humans due to war, fire, pollution, etc.)

Not far from an Algore movie or what’s his name fake documentary, the heavyset director guy, Moore is it?

A lot of great Sci Fi has a liberal theme but its easily ignored.

Look at the later Star Trek series. Weapons were illegal on earth in all but the hands of Starfleet Personnel. On the Star Trek Voyager series I was surprised to find that eating real meat was illegal.
