Environment & Energy

...some huge problem would occur, usually Godzilla or some other monster, and all the world's scientists would huddle in a room, often at the UN, come quickly to consensus, advise the Govrrnments (often the military) and the problem would be solved in a half hour of film when the governments accepted the scientific advice.

So much for science fiction.

What's coming in my view is much worse than one million Godzillas in my view.

The only 1950s science fiction movie that really reflects what is coming - I watched it recently - is, I think, "Forbidden Planet," in which an advanced civilization wipes itself out because of "monsters from the id," the freudian id, by employing a technology that empowers their worst, basest, instincts.

It struck me as eerily familiar.

As children say, "are we there yet?"
