Today, we\u2019re watching a video essay that looks at climate change movies.&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>There are some corners of the movie store that require a hazmat suit. Not because they\u2019re especially gory or graphic. But because exposure runs the risk of striking an especially tender nerve. I\u2019ve maintained, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, that 1970s sci-fi should be <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roached with such caution. To say that 1970s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> fiction isn\u2019t hopeful about humanity\u2019s future is putting it lightly.<\/p>\n<p>Sci-fi in the 1970s was a charred and toxic landscape of our own creation; a galaxy of sick planets choking from pollution, war, pestilence, and all the symptoms of the human disease that make headlines to this day. It\u2019s a cinematic vision of environmental collapse: the polluted farmlands of\u00a0<em>No Blade of Grass\u00a0<\/em>(1970); the intergalactic Noah\u2019s Ark of\u00a0<em>Silent Running\u00a0<\/em>(1972); the self-cannibalizing society of <em>Soylent Green\u00a0<\/em>(1973).<\/p>\n<p>As the video essay below posits, the grim nihilism of 1970s sci-fi is one expression of a larger genre: <strong>cli-fi<\/strong>, a.k.a. climate fiction. From older retroactive visions of an imagined future to modern tropes (hero scientist dads) to more comedic to take the apocalyptic edge off, cli-fi is a varied genre whose concern with human futures comes in many forms.
