First let me make clear that what I’m about to share is 100% not safe for work. Or delicate ears. I mean, yeah, there’s a lot of swearing. That said, the subject matter is one of those topics that almost requires strong language.
This series of videos pairs climate scientists with comedians who translate for us regular folks.
Again, there’s definitely swearing!
Here’s an article about what they’re doing and why with a link to the main site.
And here’s an example:
David Cross Meets Prof Michael Oppenheimer | NSFW – YouTube
Watch Emmy Award-winning comedian David Cross and Professor Michael Oppenheimer pretty much fix the climate crisis between them, in the first US pilot of the hit “Climate Science Translated” series. What’s the gist? Most Americans (74%) actually want more climate action from government. What no one wants is sky-high insurance bills, a home destroyed by extreme weather, or to pass on a ruined planet to their kids.
The films use humor (and profuse swearing) to translate the urgency of the problem, and bring it back down to Earth.
For more, check out the playlist. They even made PG versions, if that’s your thing!
And yes, climate change is something to cry about. But we can laugh too.
