UK Met Office And Disney Team Up To Indoctrinate Kids About Staying Safe In Summer

The assault on children is just relentless. The psychological manipulation of fragile minds in order to mould them into an acceptance that somehow summer, which used to be a joy and an opportunity for adventure and play during the six week summer holidays, is now a ‘danger’ to be managed carefully. Because of the ‘climate crisis’ naturally. It’s sick and those promoting this messaging to young children are child abusers, plain and simple. The Met Office is promoting this messaging in collaboration with Disney, who are due to release an animated film, Elementals, which has much more to say about relationships, cultural differences, xenophobia and social alienation than it does about climate change. But hey, someone decided it was also a perfect opportunity to preach to kids about ‘dangerous’ summer weather, so the Met Office have hopped aboard the film’s advertising bandwagon. Here’s part of the film’s plot according to Wikipedia:

Fire elements Bernie and Cinder Lumen immigrate to Element City, where they face xenophobia from other elements and struggle to find a home. They have a daughter, Ember, and eventually establish a convenience store called the Fireplace, setting up a Blue Flame that represents their heritage and traditions and attracting many fire element patrons over time. Bernie intends to give the store to Ember when he retires, but first she must control her fiery temper. When Bernie allows Ember to run the shop on her own, she becomes overwhelmed by the customers and rushes to the basement. Her fiery outburst breaks a water pipe, flooding the basement and summoning Wade Ripple, a water element and city inspector. Wade notes the faulty plumbing and reluctantly leaves for City Hall to send the violation report to his air element employer, Gale Cumulus, who will have the Fireplace shut down. Ember pursues Wade but is too late.

Taking pity on Ember, Wade brings her to Cyclone Stadium to convince Gale to reconsider the shutdown of her father's store. When Wade mentions he was investigating recurrent floods before ending up at the Fireplace, Gale gives the duo a tight deadline to find the source. If they are able to seal the leak, then the violations will be forgiven. While searching the canals for the source of the leak, Wade surmises that Ember's temper derives from her trying to tell herself something that she is not ready to accept, but Ember denies this. They then discover a hole in a dam that allows wave runoff from ships to flood the city's plumbing, so they close the hole with sandbags. Meanwhile, Bernie deals with water leaks all over the Fireplace.

Spot any reference to extreme weather and climate change? No, me neither.

But here’s what the Met Office is prattling on about:

The elements are meeting in more ways than one this summer as the Met Office teams up with Disney and Pixar for the blockbuster release of ‘Elemental’.

The latest animated film from Pixar takes place in Element City, where Fire, Water, Earth and Air residents live together and react in surprising ways; something the Met Office is an expert in. 

Ahead of the film’s release on 7 July, the Met Office is collaborating with Disney and Pixar on a suite of multimedia content, with some familiar faces from Element City making an appearance.  

With elements always interacting as part of Met Office weather forecasts, the characters from Elemental make the perfect messengers for some advice on how to enjoy the weather safely this summer, forming part of Met Office WeatherReady seasonal advice.  

Met Office Associate Director of Communications and Engagement Dave Britton said: “It’s hugely exciting to collaborate with Disney and Pixar - collaborations of this kind really help all involved extend the reach of our messages, helping young and old alike understand more about the weather, how it can affect our daily lives and how we can help ourselves and those around us stay safe. Working with others to drive even greater engagement in weather and climate information is really important to the Met Office, and this is the first time we’ve worked with Disney and Pixar to reach different audiences.” 

Can you believe that shit? It’s unreal. Why can’t they just leave kids alone to enjoy their summer holidays hopefully in the sun, when if it rains, then it rains, that’s life, that’s the bleedin’ weather. I remember one summer we went camping and it just rained continuously and we got wet, even beneath canvas, because our tents were rubbish. We slept in wet sleeping bags. We didn’t die. We were still safe. We didn’t need the bloody Met office to tell us on our ‘smart’ phones how to stay safe! We just got on with it and made the most of the god awful British summer weather that year.

We don’t need no education. We don’t need no thought control.

Hey! Met Office! Leave those kids alone.

Notice that there’s no Jack Frost? Of course not, it’s summer. But Jack Frost is more of a threat to the vulnerable than Ember Lumen or Wade Ripple or Gale Flipping Cumulus. It looks like Jack might be even more threatening than usual this winter too, because the British government, in its infinite wisdom, is closing down the last remaining coal-fired power stations (to stop global warming!) and hence there will be no emergency power back up to cover for when useless unreliables like wind and solar can’t keep up with electricity demand this winter.

This winter, Britain faces a complex energy challenge. The country’s remaining coal power plants, operated by Drax and EDF, are set to close, leaving the UK without its traditional backup energy reserves during the coldest months of the year. As per the National Grid’s statement, discussions with Drax and EDF have concluded. Both companies confirmed that their sites – West Burton A in Nottinghamshire and two units at Drax’s plant in Selby, Yorkshire – would no longer be available.

These plants served as vital last-resort energy providers during the previous winter, stepping in when the primary gas and renewable energy supplies ran low. However, the confirmed closure of these coal units implies that the Grid will no longer be able to keep this crucial contingency in reserve.

I wonder if Disney and the Met Office are going to team up this winter to warn kids about the possibility of freezing to death in their own homes because of blackouts caused by insane government energy policies? How about a ‘Protect Granny, Buy Her a Generator’ campaign?
