I wish I was making this stuff up
(Treehugger) The towns Yulan and Highland in upstate New York put on a show called the Weather Project about climate change – Wizard of Oz style – last weekend. The key message? Live with less.
The show, organized by members of the not-for-profit North American Cultural Laboratory (NACL) theater company, brought together all sorts of skills, from painting to dancing to singing, and more importantly brought the whole community out. They were partially funded by The National Endowment for the Arts, The New York State Council on the Arts and other members and organizations in the region. About 600 people came to see the show, which was organized and produced by 73 community members of all ages.
The Weather Project tells the story of three students who are blown away from their science fair in a tornado. They find themselves in the clouds and are told if they want to get home, they need to find the Great Scientist. As they wander down the solar brick road, they encounter clouds, solar munchkins, a mermaid counting extinctions, learning more and more about climate change and how to live with alternative energy. But they have to be careful because the Fossil Fuel Gang lurks around every bend, driving their Mercedes and laughing their evil cackles.
When they finally reach the Great Scientist, a beekeeper, they finally learn the trick to going home. She teaches the travelers to live with less, and they promise to wash their tinfoil, car pool, and stop buying plastic bottles. We’re big fans of the message.
The sad part is, there are some good environmental responsibility messages, which are destroyed by bringing Hotcoldwetdry into the mix. The Church Of Warmism has done their level best to ruin most real environmental issues.
There is no barrier between acting and global warming; they are both pretend and make-believe. the play does have the benefit of ending, and everybody can go home.
FINALLY they admit anthropomythic global warming is a fairy tale!!!!
A perfect example of what people do when they don’t have “science on their side”.
One question: How big was the NEA government grant to put on this juvenile display of street theater performance art?
Boom, Nate nails it. Of course, Warmists will never admit it. Though their failure to change their own lives admits it.
Actually my first reaction is that it is a pretty good analogy …
Oz was a dream, a fairy tale … just like Global Warming
The Wizard was a only pretending to be wise … just like Algore
All of the residents of the Emerald City were in slavish thrall to the state … just like the Ecowackos want us to be
Dorothy killed the teacher (education & science) … just like the Ecowackos are doing
