But, nothing about actual science

Michael Sheen narrates new climate change film
It is hoped the five-minute short will stimulate “honest and sensitive” debate in schools.

Actor Michael Sheen narrates a new film that aims to improve the way climate change is discussed in schools.

You Told Us To Talk About the Weather, launching nationwide today, was shot on a rewilded farm at the Westacre Estate near King’s Lynn in Norfolk.

It was written in collaboration with young farmers and it questions why discussions about the weather are so common, in contrast to discussions about climate change.

Environmental campaign group the Climate Majority Project hopes the five-minute film will help pupils and teachers speak “honestly and sensitively” about the issue.

It stars young Norfolk actor Hemi Grimsby, Ben Mansfield, who appeared in sci-fi drama Primeval, and Florence Wright, who was in the film The Flash.

LOL. Really? How about they speak truthfully and with science? Offer up all the science, which is contradictory? How about they start with the massive carbon footprint for Michael Sheen to make movies (he was great in the Underworld movies) and TV shows. How about the other actors.

The director, Harry Tomlin, said the Westacre Estate was the ideal place to set the story.

“We wanted to tell it through the eyes of a child, set against the rural Norfolk landscape and in a gritty folk-horror genre.

“This film provides an accessible way for audiences to engage with climate education and begin the conversation, without feeling like they are being pushed or patronised.”

They want indoctrination, brainwashing. And, of course, the government will probably force this on the kiddies, and allow no questioning.
