Transcript:
Sign on podium: Warning Center Jeffrey: Uh...what's this about, Danae? Danae: I'm dedicating myself to the selfless realm of crisis awareness. Jeffrey: Ok...aware about what? Danae: Any and all possibilities of impending doom. Jeffrey: Such as...? Danae: Such as a......MONKEY STAMPEDE! Jeffrey: What? Where?! Wait...that's not a warning......That's just inciting panic by shouting an imaginary crisis. Danae: I call it a heads-up on the unexpected. And admit it...you hoped it was real. Jeffrey: Whatever. I think you were born for this era. Danae: Thank you, Jeffrey! Jeffrey: That's not a compliment. Danae: In that case, I've got a real warning...

She has a future on cable news (or what they claim is news).

On the other hand, Jeffrey’s future will all be dictated by so-called ‘social media’. Which is worse, I wonder…

Where’s Walter Cronkite when you need him?

Danae just needs to work a little on her delivery. It’s not “MONKEY STAMPEDE!”, it’s “is Monkey Stampede a real possibility? Find out tonight at 11pm”.

Jeffrey would be more interested in a zombie apocalypse.
Scorpio Premium Member over 9 years ago
At least a zombie apocalypse should force Fox to report the truth.

Was Danae making a promise? Or should Jeffrey duck or dive for a shelter? A real warning of a catastrophe. Hope there is a continued adventure; we think.

Danae has already correctly identified herself as the center of the problem. Now all she needs to do is to warn herself about herself.

There are many more comparisons. Global Warming is the Big Bad, but it takes a long stretch of time before it is too late to do anything about it. Doing nothing is the worst case scenario we are living it.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A long time before it’s too late? Global warming went into positive feedback several years ago when methane began bubbling out of melting permafrost. We can no longer stop it, just hope to minimize it.

Do monkeys stampede?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~No, but they do eat babies. Seriously — I was in Sri Lanka many years ago (the civil war began while I was there) admiring the monkeys in the ruins of Anuradhapura when a local man told me that two weeks earlier a woman had left her newborn baby outside in a crib and a monkey had come down from the trees and stolen it.

While falsely crying “wolf” is a bad idea. Ignoring the warning that a wolf is real, is a worse idea when you’re wolf scat.

Any Populist Movement based on popular science or popular social science or any other popular science, as distinguished as separate from actual science, may be considered a monkey stampede.And monkeys, when they are stampeding en masse, are quite vicious and righteous, so it is usually best to avoid them and allow their Social Reformations to burn out and then rebuild among the ashes.They are just so angry!

Sad but True: The Mega Corporations actually ARE planning for what they will do when Climate Change becomes a Crisis.Internal memos have leaked.Denying it Now is expected to lead to Huge Profits later when people will respond better to a “Pay Up Or Die” marketing campaign..
