The world needs more terrible movies about global warming

A new scientific paper suggests plasma TVs contribute to global warming via the gas used to manufacture them.  The easiest way to counteract this problem would be to make a series of terrible movies about the dangers of global warming, in the vein of 2007’s The Day After Tomorrow.  People will watch the terrible movie on their polluting television and feel annoyed.  Then people will associate feeling annoyed with their polluting television, and associate both feeling annoyed and their polluting televisions with global warming.  A similar thing would happen with SUVs, many of which have built in DVD players these days.  People will watch the terrible movie about global warming while driving, then they will get in a crash and die.  Then people will associate dying with SUVs, and both SUVs and dying with global warming.

But wait!  Now you’re probably convinced that even dying in an SUV accident promotes global warming!  The associations were too effective!    Well, there’s an easy solution to that, too:  immortality pills.
