Hollywood will just make a pro-climate change propaganda movie. Michael Moore will probably do it.

Larry King was hosting many of the climate panels. Walt Disney VP attended , probably targeting children programs.

What a marriage! The UN should also tie it into the porn industry — get it on to save the planet! It would be funny if the guy gave a talk to the porn industry executives saying that the UN will push for the legitimacy of child sex in return for raising the consciousness about global warming. But the porn industry is run by the mafia who have some principles about kids and they beat the crap out of him.

I’m sure they will try to reach the children. That’s the only way they can continue this expensive farce.

They held these meetings during Oscar week. What irony, it will be one of the coldest evenings on the Red Carpet in years.

What if people stop going to see their bad movies and stop watching tv? It’s gotten so bad anyway.. it really won’t take much.
