Earth Week: Choose Your Own Disaster II - Re-adventuring through Hollywood’s attempts to tackle climate change

Due to popular demand, we're hosting a sequel to last year's blockbuster Earth Week event!

Hollywood is full of big screen metaphors and on-the-nose cliches about climate change. And it turns out audiences love a disaster flick, from world-ending meteor strikes to the next ice age or even the mysterious switching of the planet’s polarity.

But IN A WORLD… where we actually need to talk about the real issues we’re facing, can disaster movies help? Join Endless Thread co-hosts Ben Brock Johnson and Amory Sivertson for a night of absurdity, fun and some real discussion of what our blockbuster movie industry has gotten wrong—and right—about the greatest existential threat humanity has ever faced.

You will have the power to choose which decisions we make to stop a world-ending climate threat inspired by scenes from our favorite disaster films. Along the way, we’ll check in with a panel of experts who will help us understand if any of these events could ever happen and, if so, how we can navigate the real future.
