From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Quadrant<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony Thomas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australian schools are about to ramp up Net Zero campaigning using the latest movie \u201cFuture Council\u201d<\/em> from dark-green activist Damon Gameau. I\u2019m predicting this with confidence because teachers have drenched more than a million kids from primary classes upwards with Gameau\u2019s previous movie\/docos 2040<\/em> (2019) and Regenerating Australia<\/em> (2022). All-up his offerings<\/a> (at last week) have got to 1,534,783 kids and launched about 50,000 largely school-based \u201caction plans\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Gameau, 43, an ex-actor turned producer, achieve his startling reach into classrooms? It\u2019s because all his far-left and environmental causes are taken up by Cool.org<\/a>. Cool then delivers them as time-saving online lessons to Australia\u2019s eager teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been tracking Cool.org as a cuckoo-in-the-school-nest for a decade, here,<\/a> here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Formerly Cool Australia, it claims teachers now deliver its all-topics material to 2.5 million schoolkids a year<\/a> and have reached 92% of schools. The lesson kits are expertly mapped to the curriculum and fulfil the cross-curriculum priority of \u201csustainability.\u201d[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for promoting Gameau, Cool today offers teachers about 35 different lessons on his 2040 <\/em>movie, and at least seven lessons on Regenerating Australia<\/em> (37,000 students and 2637 Action Plans<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot of Gameau\u2019s 2040<\/em> is set in a future where renewables triumph over fossil fuels, vegans thrive, and every green brain-snap has proved a winner. That includes replacement of capitalism with UK \u2018renegade economist\u2019<\/a> Kate Raworth\u2019s vision of a \u201cdoughnut [circular] economy\u201d. Regenerating Australia <\/em>likewise is set in 2029, looking back at a decade<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cthat saw Australia transition to a fairer, cleaner, more regenerative economy that values Australia\u2019s greatest assets \u2013 First Nations\u2019 wisdom, our unique natural environment and our sense of community.\u201d<\/em>Now stand by for Future Council<\/em>\u2019s blitz into classrooms. Gameau spent last month on live Q&A\u2019s at national pre-releases, <\/em>and launched it officially on August 7. I took in his \u201cinspiring and rollicking journey\u201d at Yarraville\u2019s olde-world Sun Theatre, along with 150 adoring parents and kids. It\u2019s Gameau\u2019s most ambitious venture yet and the audience, already green converts, went wild. Gameau and singer Ruby Rodgers from the film (she\u2019s 15) took questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note this Feedback from previews:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2666 nichollerussell<\/a>: \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see it tonight, I\u2019m bringing my 2 classes or 42 students who are in year 3\/4.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2666 \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of darkness in the world right now but holy smokes, @future__council<\/a> is pure light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2666 \u201cI cried through most of the doco. Our natural world is breathtaking, so full of wonder, and these kids remind us just how easy it is to forget that. They are rightfully scared about the future and angry at us adults for not doing enough to ensure their future \u2026 If we\u2019re willing to listen, they might just show us the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2666 \u201cDamon Gameau, you\u2019ve done it again. Another film that knocked me off my feet yet left me feeling stronger, more hopeful, and more determined to fight for this planet and all who call it home.\u201dGameau did a global casting call two years back for kids aged 10-14 to star in a road-trip movie traversing eight countries in western Europe in a cute yellow bus. The kids\u2019 brief was to harangue corporate chiefs about emissions and plastic litter. From 1300 applicants, Gameau selected a diverse group of eight, based on their climate-warrior ethos, perkiness and affinity for show biz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameau emphasises that his bus ran on planet-friendly vegetable oil. He doesn\u2019t mention the emissions from air-ferrying kids, plus a parent or guardian, to Europe. They came from places afar as Australia, Norfolk Island, Bali, Singapore and Uganda. As if the kids aren\u2019t already brainwashed, he gets high-profile activists to gee them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His theme is that school strikes haven\u2019t saved the planet, and kids are looking for practical ways to rescue their future and work off their climate angst. The film is his marketing vehicle for his real-world Future Councils <\/em>of kids, mostly schools-based. He aims to set up them here and worldwide as advisory boards to help reform back-sliding corporates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make his bus trip look worthwhile, he has to big-up the so-called \u201cclimate crisis\u201d. And here\u2019s the rub: the poor little mites are traumatised by climate doom. Sure there\u2019s a happy ending and the kids end the trip full of false hopes. That\u2019s in line with psychs\u2019 advice to scare them into activism, but not enough to paralyse them. Perhaps a bit sadistic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other reviewers, all but one, gloss over this issue. The exception is James Joyce, executive editor of Australian Community Media and ex-editor of the Canberra Times<\/em>, who I found in North West Star<\/em><\/a> (paywalled, sadly). Joyce, apparently acquiescent in net-zero, still does a deadly interview of Gameau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce:<\/strong> I started off feeling quite angry about what you were doing to these kids. I felt upset for them \u2013 that they were being asked to take all this on when they are just kids. By the end, there is some hope, inspiration, ideas and energy, which is great. But my first question is, are the kids alright?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameau replied that the kids are not OK because we\u2019re not doing anywhere near enough. They\u2019re the generation that has to live in a polluted world and the point of the film is to let their voices be heard. \u201cWe don\u2019t want these children to have to understand the complexities of the system and geopolitics,\u201d he replies. \u201cWhat the children bring is this refreshing creativity, they also bring a bloody morality that\u2019s really missing from the system right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said many leaders and big corporations are acting like psychopaths because that\u2019s what the system allows: short-term thinking and maximum extraction. \u201cAnd the children get to say \u2018Hang on, where\u2019s the humanity in all this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce:<\/strong> Are you saying that it\u2019s fantasy or defensive or denial from grown-ups to say: \u2018Can the kids just please be allowed to be kids? Can\u2019t they have their childhood and not have to worry about this stuff until maybe they have actual agency in their lives?\u2019 Instead of being in tears at age 10, don\u2019t they deserve their innocence, their chance to not have to worry?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameau said the crying 10-year-old in the film was actually frustrated by cleaning up beach plastic every weekend \u201cand no one in her government or community is giving a shit like she does and she doesn\u2019t understand\u201d. (Gameau did not mention the film\u2019s other kids who were depressed and pessimistic about a planetary apocalypse foisted on them by the climate crowd).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameau said he still speaks to the kids most weeks and they\u2019re all doing well. None are obsessed with trying to fix the planet themselves. They\u2019ve got lots of other interests. \u201cBut I\u2019m with you. I think, gosh, it\u2019d be great if kids didn\u2019t have to go through this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce:<\/strong> But my heart breaks for Skye [Welsh, about 12], who is so angry. At her age, doesn\u2019t she deserve to not have that anger?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameau:<\/strong> Yeah, you\u2019re right. She does. But she\u2019s in a village, Fairbourne, that\u2019s about to go under the water \u2013 the first one in the Western world because of climate.\u201d He said it\u2019s so real to her because she\u2019s losing her home and getting fire in her belly over it. \u201cWe can\u2019t ask her just to stop because she\u2019s fighting for something bigger than we understand.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Fairbourne\u2019s watery grave by 2050 is just more worst-case climate baloney dished out by a green-left town council scared of lawsuits, and contrary to views of eminent scientists in those parts. Don\u2019t take my word for it, it\u2019s all spelt out in the local Cambrian News<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce:<\/strong> But when [Qld-born eco-activist] Clover Hogan tells the kids \u201ceco-anxiety is a really healthy response\u201d \u2013 that stabbed me. Is it healthy for a 10-year-old?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameau: <\/strong>If you\u2019re not feeling some kind of emotion, where are you at? How disconnected are you actually with the living world? Let\u2019s have a proper conversation because children are feeling things more deeply than maybe a few more adults should be.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce:<\/strong> There\u2019s an impulse to say \u2018Just leave the kids alone, let them be kids, stop turning them all into Greta Thunberg\u2019. I think we\u2019d prefer for our kids to be like the boy from Norfolk Island [called Hiva] who just cherishes birds and wants to take photos of them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameau: <\/strong>The kids in the film do come to realise that there are some really good humans who care about the planet and who have children and who are working in these massive corporations. So, perhaps the Greta [Thunberg] bolshie approach isn\u2019t actually the only way to do this\u2026 We have to do things differently.<\/em>As for the film itself, it opens with a glum Joaquin (from Holland), who looks about 12-14. He was born deaf but after a Cochlear implant can now speak several languages. He says, \u201cI just hear nothing else, like complete death. When I think about the future, it\u2019s not good. Yeah, it\u2019s looking pretty dark. Companies not even trying to care about the planet. You know, I\u2019m trying to live here too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whichever adults dumped their climate paranoia on this kid should examine their consciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameau<\/strong><\/em>: Why do you all think that we\u2019ve started this trip in a forest?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joaquin:<\/strong><\/em> So we can see what would be lost if humanity continues like this.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameau:<\/strong><\/em> Very good answer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after, Aurvi, 11, from Singapore, says she wouldn\u2019t even in her thoughts think of hurting someone. But she visited the Great Barrier Reef and all the beautiful corals and fish and turtles could one day be gone. (Again, climate zealots have blighted her joy by doom-mongering about the Reef. Just last month the Institute of Marine Science\u2019s annual reef data showed coral cover at record highs for the past several years, recently returning to about the 40-year average<\/a> \u2013 despite six supposedly cataclysmic bleachings in the past decade).[2]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skye from Wales wrote to nature guru David Attenborough:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m 12 years old and I live very near the village of Fairbourne, destined to become the first climate refugees of the developed world. The entire village is built on a flood plain and due to rising sea levels, by 2050 it is due to completely flood.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, this derives just from town councillors and activists doom-crying on their concocted worse-case scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bird-loving boy Hiva from Norfolk Island seems as dejected as Skye. He says birds are the ambassadors for wild places. Then he found out about critically endangered, vulnerable birds. \u201cI could bring back a book in 30 years\u2019 time about the extinct birds of the world and then I could have to write a sad introduction about all the things that people have done. I love them so much and I want them to be here no matter what.\u201d He would try to see less money going to the companies that destroy and really hurt birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The omission here is what suggests Gameau\u2019s film is indoctrination not education. Why does Gameau not draw attention to the raptor-mincing ways of the wind turbines that he\u2019d love to see dotting entire landscapes? There\u2019s no wind turbines (yet) on Hiva\u2019s Norfolk Island, but surely the kids on the bus notice a few during their trip through eight countries, and raise the bird issue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruby Rodgers, from NSW, is the granddaughter of rocker Jimmy Barnes and her singing is often on the film\u2019s soundtrack. She says, \u201cHow we are treating the planet right now, and humanity, is quite scary.\u201d Lines in the soundtrack from her songs include,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow can you tell me to keep on breathing? Tell me to keep believing while my home is being torn apart? Try not to give up, try to make a stand, \u2018Coz I feel my future, Slippin\u2019 from my hands.\u201d<\/em>Gameau\u2019s film wheels out \u201cexperts\u201d to calm the kids\u2019 fears, like North-Queensland-born UK climate activist and Al Gore disciple<\/a> Clover Hogan, now 24. At 16 she attended the UN\u2019s Paris climate conference and at 19 she set up her \u201cForce of Nature\u201d entity to ally youngsters with decision-makers and jointly tackle the \u201cclimate deniers\u201d.[3]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Via google I find she touts the gamut of green-left causes like anti-capitalism and open borders. To Hogan, a UK government decision to open 42 new oilfields is \u201ca death sentence\u201d for her generation. And she wants the media to stop asking mean questions about activists\u2019 \u201chypocritical\u201d air travel, and instead \u201cchallenge the rich and powerful\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the film one of the girls, about 14, asks her, \u201cLike I\u2019m not doing as much as everyone else and I just feel like there is so much pressure. It\u2019s like, \u2018Be doing more!\u2019\u201d But she doesn\u2019t know what to do, and her voice cracks with emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clover tells her she is already doing so much. The sadness, anger, frustration is the internal alarm bell that something is really wrong, although people in power try to numb such feelings. \u201cSo eco-anxiety is a really healthy response, right? It is evidence that you care.\u201d Hogan thus calms the girl, who wipes away a tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marketing the film, Gameau over-sells how the kids confront corporate chiefs, because the only big companies that agreed to be censured by sub-teen greenies were Nestle and ING Bank, plus an online session with sportwear\u2019s Decathlon. ING was in the tent already, having banned lending to coal companies and similar CO2 villains. The others, especially Coca-Cola and Pepsi, wisely turned down this alleged opportunity. Note that Gameau\u2019s film continually mixes up the valid case against plastic litter, with net-zero agitation and foolish denunciation of \u201cplastics\u201d per se, vital ingredients of modern living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the kids\u2019 scripted questions, the execs were on a hiding to nothing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2666 When your grandchildren grow up, do you think they\u2019ll be proud that you helped finance global pollution?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2666 Why not try to sacrifice a tiny bit of the profits in exchange for long-term sustainability?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2666 What are you and your foundation doing to ensure climate justice?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2666 What would you prefer: to have a greener future, or to have a future that still has fossil fuels and bad gasses?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t want to knock any kid\u2019s sincerity and passion but it\u2019s Gameau, not me, setting them up for crusading to classrooms. And the kids\u2019 parent or guardian who came along for the ride were fine with their kids fronting Gameau\u2019s polemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kids\u2019 tussle with Nestle\u2019s PR global chief Rob Cameron in Switzerland is the film\u2019s climax, supposedly illustrating Gameau\u2019s \u201cFuture Council\u201d of wise and righteous adolescents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can see how Nestle\u2019s Cameron got seduced in. He\u2019s been a green activist for 25 years and joined Nestle in 2020 from his CEO and managing partner role at global think tank SustainAbility<\/a>. He runs Nestle\u2019s ESG (\u2018environment, social, governance\u2019) efforts and helps run its Net Zero Roadmap. About the time when Gameau\u2019s troop monstered him, he became chair<\/a> of the International Chamber of Commerce\u2019s Global Commission on Environment and Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kids, doubtless geed-up by their adults, saw him as the culprit for plastic litter. Relaxed in his open-neck sky-blue shirt, he tried to explain that without high-tech packaging, Nestle foods would degrade, especially ageing on small-shop shelves in the tropics. He hinted that green-friendly packs might let in human-unfriendly bugs. Skye from Wales, congratulated later by Gameau for her \u2018bad-ass\u2019 speeches, was having have none of it. Channelling Greta Thunberg\u2019s \u2018How dare you!\u2019, she read from her script:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sat in front of a powerful leader and listened to your empty words and empty promises. Plastic is everywhere. It\u2019s in our seas and our rivers, on our beaches and mountains, in our food and even in our blood. They proudly tell us that Smarties can be a completely sustainable paper tube, whilst you churn out over five billion plastic wrapped KitKats every single year. You\u2019re the third biggest polluter on the planet. You are not a powerful leader. You are a disgrace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She finished with a Thunberg-like glower and then a little grin, while Gameau\u2019s score swells and he inserts a clip of Skye collecting plastic litter to show she\u2019s a good kid. Serves silly Cameron right for trusting the movie project in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lamestream-media reviews rhapsodise about Skye leaving Cameron \u201cspeechless\u201d. In fact he recovered swiftly from brat-attack and his response was a model of kindness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry you think that. Truly. You\u2019re right that the company has a lot of impact. And when it comes to great responsibility, I and other folk in the business all care passionately about the world we live in. I\u2019m a father. We love our children. I don\u2019t want to leave a [worse] world that my daughter grows up in. Companies [should] operate in an economy that knows its place within the wider ecosystem, we just lost sight of that.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all the film\u2019s humour seems intentional \u2013 one of the boys says, \u201cA lot of the time kids aren\u2019t listened to by adults. I\u2019ve had some really good ideas for them. It was more about my bedroom, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future Council<\/em> , although days old, has already aged badly. The Net Zero quest is collapsing.[4]<\/a>  China, India and the US have opted out and Western Europe is convulsed with doubts, not that teachers would ever let kids know. Once-green asset managers like BlackRock ($US10 trillion) and Vanguard ($US9 trillion) have quit the Net Zero club to realign with fossil fuels. BP has ditched the revised branding and renewables theme from 2000<\/a>, namely \u201cBeyond Petroleum\u201d. The re-brand supported renewables but has trashed BP\u2019s share price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facts and brainwashing aside, Gameau\u2019s movie has plenty of charm with its exuberant storyline, family-friendly antics and great production values. Gameau has even allocated 75% of his producer\u2019s profit share<\/a> to the Future Council concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all that, the movie has arisen from the ideological swamp to the left of the Greens, as evident in Gameau\u2019s political musings on his Instagram posts<\/a>. When (not if) this movie invades classrooms, conservative parents need to start their own climate protesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[2]<\/a> AIMS for alarmism\u2019s sake takes pains not to show the GBR\u2019s total recent coral cover, instead splitting it into separate graphs for the northern, central and southern reefs. Dr Peter Ridd has simply combined the data as shown here<\/a> to reveal the reef\u2019s true health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[3]<\/a> Clover Hogan was shocked to be invited to discuss \u201cclimate science\u201d on a TV show, but \u201csharing the segment with a climate denier.\u201d<\/a> She upbraided the producer, who replied that since people like President Trump denied the science, the media had to reflect all views. Clover\u2019s view was that the media should tell only \u201cthe truth\u201d \u2013 adding, \u201cLives, policies, and the future of the planet depend on it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[4]<\/a> As the International Energy Agency puts it<\/a>, \u201cDespite efforts to reduce these emissions, the trajectory of CO2 emissions globally remains far higher than what is needed to avoid the worst effects of climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
