Disaster movies are all the rage. Humans flock to see them year after year. Just to get a feeling of what is on offer, I searched the World Wide Web for the most successful movies of this genre. To make my job easier, I went for this millennium only. And here is the list compiled in less than an hour: “Absolon” (2001), “After the Flood” (2001), “Atlantis: The Lost Empire” (2001), “Avalanche Valley” (2001), “Flying Virus” (2001), “Cabin Fever” (2002), “Returner” (2002), “Sabretooth” (2002), “Scorcher” (2002), “Smallpox 2002” (2002), “The Sum of All Fears” (2002), “The Core” (2003), “Deathlands: Homeward Bound” (2003), “Dragon Head” (2003), “Epoch: Evolution” (2003), “Flood” (2003), “The Day After Tomorrow” (2004), “Frankenfish” (2004), “Category 6: Day of Destruction” (2005), “Category 7: The End of the World” (2005), “Descent” (2005), “The Island” (2005), “Nature Unleashed: Earthquake” (2005), “Path of Destruction” (2005), “Children of Men” (2006), “Covert One: The Hades Factor” (2006), “The Eden Formula” (2006), “Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America” (2006), “Magma: Volcanic Disaster” (2006), “Meltdown: Days of Destruction” (2006), “Right at Your Door” (2006), “The World Sinks Except Japan” (2006), “I Am Legend” (2007), “I Am Omega” (2007), “Flood” (2007), “The Invasion” (2007), “Next” (2007), “Supergator” (2007), “Vexille” (2007), “Blindness” (2009), “Doomsday” (2008), “The Happening” (2008), “Infected” (2008), “Quarantine” (2008), “2012” (2009), “Carriers” (2009), “Knowing” (2009), “Megafault” (2009), “The Road” (2009), “Splice” (2009), “Under the Mountain” (2009), “The Book of Eli” (2010), “Daybreakers” (2010), “Growth” (2010), “Hereafter” (2010), “Contagion” (2011), “Doomsday Prophecy” (2011), “Perfect Sense” (2011), “The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom” (2011), “The Dark Knight Rises” (2012), “The Great Flood” (2012), “The Impossible” (2012), “It’s a Disaster” (2012), “Seeking a Friend for the End of the World” (2012), “The Tower” (2012), “Goodbye World” (2013), “Phase” (2013), “This is the End” (2013), “The World’s End” (2013), “World War Z” (2013), “Into the Storm” (2014), “Kayal” (2014), “Noah” (2014), “Pompeii” (2014), and “San Andreas” (2015). Enough! These movies cover all sorts of disasters, from manmade ones to a wide variety of natural disasters. But they all share one crucial feature: one cannot learn a thing from them about disasters actually in store. Most important, all these movies taken together do not provide any idea on how to survive climate change, the only disaster worth talking about at this juncture. After zillions of dollars, pounds, and euros spent on all these silly movies, no-one is any wiser. Congratulations all around! When it comes to disaster mismanagement, humans are the absolute winners.
