Is Global Warming a Theme of 'Interstellar' Movie?

Imagine if astronaut Dave of "2001: A Space Odyssey" returned to Earth as a star child in order to use his superior brain power to build better solar panels. It seems mighty narrow and would have trivialized Stanley Kubrick's classic film. Well, something like that might be happening with another movie, "Interstellar," opening on November 7. A crew is sent via a wormhole to find another planet far across the universe. Why? In order to discover a place to grow corn because the crops on earth have been ruined due to climate change aka global warming.

I sure hope this isn't true but, unfortunately, early reports are that global warming is indeed a theme of "Interstellar." Somehow a crew can't be sent across the universe to another planet just to discover what is out there. No. A global warming agenda is included which can only trivialize the movie. Here are several reports about that global warming theme including this ABC News story:

Simple mistake really, instead of sending through
a wormhole they sent them through a cornhole...

Corn is a plant that came from the tropics. Global warming could not hurt corn crops.

Otherwise they wouldhave been worm farmers...

The world needs more worms.

Only problem is that the NASA muzzie outreach has cancelled the US human space flight program for now. Tesla king Elon Musk is working on it with Boeing. In 3, 2, 1............

I was rather pleased that Dr Who didn’t take the easy way last night and go for global warming. It was the low hanging fruit but they didn’t pluck it.

Great! So now we will destroy a perfectly good planet on the other side of the universe with an invasive species known as corn.

But .. corn is used for feed for the animals and it’s also used to make SUGAR.

That could be part of the rationale .. as disturbed as it is.

Oh for pity’s... that’s just corny. We have a surplus of corn. It can grow darn near everywhere.
I could sooner believe a bunch of people using a wormhole to escape government regulations to be able to grow what they want to.

If this flick were made in the 1920s, it would have been about a crew intent on discovering a planet where they could open up a saloon unhindered by prohibition agents.

Likely all the crops on earth were genetically modified by Monsanto........

Do you express contempt at the Nebraska Aeronautics and Space Administration?

I would suggest they avoid Tatooine. A few minor settlements and moisture farmers.

Worse...they ignore their own data.

The Sun's magnetic field is in decline....so less sunspots.

Last time this happened there was a 400 year long mini ice age (1350 to 1750).

In reality the "worm hole explorers"were forced out because of crop failures caused by global cooling.

Does Hollywood have to inject liberalism into everything, even science fiction????

Does this movie make mention of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered astronaut corn farmers???? IF not, I accuse them of being bigoted against the LGBT corn farmers.

Because its easier to create a wormhole and travel across the universe than to select for crops that grow at higher temps.
