This isn’t the first time that a member of the Cult of Climastrology has linked Game Of Thrones to Hotcoldwetdry. Many, many wackadoodle Warmists have played this game. Here we have Voxers Christophe Haubursin and Zack Beauchamp trying to Voxsplain
Game of Thrones is secretly all about climate change
Did you know that Game of Thrones is secretly about the world’s terrible failure to stop climate change? Well, it is, and this video explains why: (you’re welcome to hit the link and watch the very sad video, which probably breaks a bunch of copyright laws)
The show’s much more entertaining stand-in for climate change is the White Walkers, the north-of-the-Wall monsters that command a gigantic zombie army.
The White Walkers are a threat to all humanity: their zombie minions are equally happy to rip apart people of all nations and noble houses. Yet instead of uniting to combat the shared threat to human existence itself, the noble houses in the show spend basically all their time on their own petty disagreements and struggle for power. White Walkers are generally ignored; some nobles deny their existence outright.
Swap climate change for White Walkers and “countries” for noble houses, and it starts to sound a lot like the real world. (snip)
The big wars in Game of Thrones — the Baratheon-Targaryen-Stark-Tyrell-Lannister free-for-all — are basically supposed to stand-in for these complications. All of these noble houses are focused on their short-term interests, but pursuing them is blocking the real problem: stopping White Walkers and their zombie army. Likewise, CO2 emissions skyrocketed in the past 100 years — with potentially catastrophic consequences for the human race.
BTW, here’s what the writer of Game of Thrones, George R.R. Martin, had to say on the subject
Finally, in a stunning revelation, when an audience member put the ridiculous question, “JRR Tolkien strenuously denied that his books were in any way an allegory for World War II, have you ever been accused of writing about climate change by proxy? You know, it being a bit of a thing in your works, the long Winter?†George replied, “No, I haven’t, not until now,†and continued, “Like Tolkien I do not write allegory, at least not intentionally. Obviously you live in the world and you’re affected by the world around you, so some things sink in on some level, but, if I really wanted to write about climate change in the 21st century I’d write a novel about climate change in the 21st century.
So, no, it’s not about “climate change”, but, reality has never stopped the CoC.
