Art always tries to make us aware, but most people just take it as entertainment.

It's over 25 years of drought. At least 20+ years of severe drought. Thank you, Mr. Pearlman for speaking truth!!!

Leaving an inhospitable earth to our children is a failure.

Maybe it's because my job takes me outdoors, and I'm exposed to the weather for most of the day, but I've also noticed the unusual climate changes over the past 9-10 years. Perhaps people forget what it used to be like, but now it’s becoming more apparent. Where I live, we should have had snow by now, yet we're still waiting. It feels like spring. (1-17-25)

Houston had more than 30 inches in rain. Hawaii had Lahaina burn down, Western North Carolina was hit so bad they dont have homes or a road back to their in some cases there isnt a house seat, fire in Palisades and the devastating fire in California a few years ago. All of these climate experiences are catastrophic. I forgot to add Paradise California that the whole town burned down.

Good movie. What’s sad is how accurate the movie resembles the Trump administration, with Elon musk.

[highwaydaytime]

Yep, we told them so. They choose to constantly look down

[zedwolf]

Ron Perlman is awesome on his politics he has great interviews on the Young Turks News site, the largest youtube news.

I knew this movie would come true faster than I thought.

Private corporations own 40% of CA water in some cities (see Wonderful brand).

“special interest” I would think for 44 Billion from the dept of energy for Tesla….maybe The Fed could have put this to better use?
PS<saltwater is corrosive and can cause soil issues for years to come.
I dig Perlman, and it’s heartbreaking what is happening….need Yall’s AG to make sure that Homeowners who’s fire coverage was slashed— get justice. And if You can….hold onto Your Property—don’t sell to BIG INVESTORS

Finally a celebrity with a brain and spine 🫡

Except for 2 years ago in April when it rained for 3 weeks straight in Los Angeles, in 75 years that's never happened. So all that vegetation dried out, in the meantime and now we have all that fuel and it's burning.

[ltully]

So glad we have these artists to help us fight back.

[danburnes]

100 mph winds in CA is a political problem, 100 mph winds in FL is a natural problem.

[mattboyko]

You’re right, Ron politicians and policy have nothing to do with anything😂🤣 as long as a politician has a nice smile and good hair people like Ron will think you’re a good politician lol

[elenalatici]

Lots of posts everywhere are likening the cause of the nightmare fires in LA to the attitude of special interests in the film, Don't Look Up.

[amnot]

Oil and gas must be criminally charged for knowingly causing death and destruction.

[JackMitchell-yo]

Mr . Pearlman is speaking actual
truth.

[davidroberts]

Incompetence by ca’s leadership is what lead to that catastrophe.
