      I don't know why but I'm watching "Soylent Green." One interesting thing about the movie, which was made in 1973. It features human-caused global warming due to the greenhouse effect. as part of the reason, in addition to massive overpopulation, for the horrible conditions shown.

      But, listening to climate science deniers, you'd think that the primary belief was that there would be global cooling. Yet, in popular culture, global warming due to greenhouse gases was featured in an early 1970s movie with Charlton Heston.

      Oooh, Charlton Heston kicking a bad guy in the balls. I don't remember that in "Soylent Green."

      Oh, and "Soylent Green" took place in 2022, just three years from now. There's a book featured in the movie that is dated from 2015-2019, this year. It's rather amusing how bad SF writers in the 1970s thought things would be around about now.

          I was about to make a similar comment, but had to look up the name. The blame really is more with Malthus for that era of Science Fiction, Heinlein name drops in several books.

          The scene where EG Robinson dies with the peaceful movie in the background? Eerily similar to the Serenity TV channel in my MILs hospital room in the last days of her life

          SF writers always exaggerate the future. Don't get lost in that.

          What I remember from that time was Global Warming and Nuclear Winter. But the Nuclear Winter would come from a Nuclear war.
