Sooooo I went to see the People’s Emergency Briefing, and I have to say the whole thing left kind of a bad taste in my mouth.
The screening was organized by a local solar installation company, and it amounted to a 90-minute infomercial for their services. However much I believe in those services, that’s just Not On.
It’s not so much that anything the film lays out is inaccurate – in fact, it was far and away the most Lifehouse-y presentation of climate-system collapse I’ve ever seen from an even remotely mainstream outlet – but that it’s couched in a normie-friendly, problem/solution framing where the “solutions” are…lobby your MP and install solar panels. In the home you own. And here’s Steve to tell you how.
