The Unchained Goddess

Here’s a little clip of a 1958 educational film about global warming titled, “The Unchained Goddess”.

Produced by Frank Capra for the Bell Telephone Company and featuring the voice talents of none other than Mel “Bugs Bunny” Blanc, this informative yet witty film, clearly aimed at audiences averaging age 14, succinctly explains how global warming could lead to a rise in sea levels that could put Miami under 150 feet of water.

It’s been 50 years since this movie came out, and we’ve been pumping carbon dioxide into the air nonstop since then. I haven’t been to Miami lately, but does anybody know if it’s under 150 feet of water at all?

Andrew Riley is an idealist, a dreamer, and occasionally a real son-of-a-bitch. He spends his days webmastering this blog, writing for this blog, and more importantly filling his four year old son's head with silly nonsense. He is an Army veteran, a conservative Libertarian, and gets bored with most people pretty quickly. 4 out of 5 dentists agree that he is way cooler than you.
