Movies Can Now Be Graded By ‘Climate Reality Check’ Test

Recently-released movies can now be graded on a new “Climate Reality Check” test, which will gauge on whether or not the film addressed the so-called “climate crisis.”

“There’s a new ‘Climate Reality Check’ test — these 3 Oscar-nominated features passed,” headlined the article by Chloe Veltman at NPR. According to Veltman, the new test offers something similar to the much-ballyhooed “Bechdel Test” by grading movies on purely ideological grounds; in this case, environmentalism. Only three Oscar-nominated movies released in 2023 met the criteria for either having themes or strong mentions of the so-called “climate crisis”: Barbie, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I, and Nyad.

It’s because of this line that the pinkest and perkiest of summer blockbusters passed the new Climate Reality Check. It’s a new test, directed at writers, producers and other entertainment industry creatives, that aims to measure the presence of climate change on screen by evaluating all 31 feature films nominated for any Academy Award this year. Documentaries and shorts weren’t considered.

This simple new test was inspired by the famous Bechdel Test invented by cartoonist Alison Bechdel in the mid-1980s to measure the presence of women in movies and other forms of fiction. It was created by climate change storytelling consultancy Good Energy in collaboration with the Buck Lab for Climate and Environment at Colby College in Maine.

This is why I have not been to a movie in years

Seems helpful.
A good indication of which movies to specifically avoid.
Not that any of them seem to be worth watching anymore.

This is climate reality from the past 12,000 years. The Modern Warm Period ain't nuthin' new.

I guess selling tickets no longer matters.

First, you would have to accept the premise that there is a climate catastrophe.
I do not accept such piffle.

I wonder what the EnviroMaoists have to say about how “Greenland” was named. I wonder what they have to say about the undeniable fact that that little piece of land called “Central Park” (in Manhattan) was,until about 3000 years ago,enveloped by a glacier a half mile deep.

Those disaster movies were the catastrophe.

CBS is responsible for this.

“Is this movie good propaganda?”
Yes/No

[OpusatFR]

Movies? Who watches the dreck. Even Mission Impossible was an impossibly long, long mess with a stupid story line.

Wonder how they would rate “The Midnight Sun” from the Twilight Zone.

[GSWarrior]

It’s official. Art is dead.

[Orosius]

Outstanding. A bunch of otherwise unemployable wannabe screenwriting mediocrities figured out how to use the climate change scam to break into show business and make big $. Wish I’d thought of it first.

[No name given]

Unfortunately.

Stopped reading after the 1st sentence.

Good, will make it easier to avoid nonsense.

[DPMD]

the hypocrisy, of course, is that the judging will be of movie themes and messages, and not the enormous “carbon footprint” left in all locations by the entire movie crew and production.

[citizen]

I guess selling tickets no longer matters.

It seems not to matter to Disney, for movie tickets or home subscriptions.
