Interstellar is a science fiction movie that focuses on space travel to save humanity from a dying Earth. In the beginning of the movie we are shown that there is something wrong with climate based on all of the dust storms and dying crops. Although Interstellar does a decent job at showing us that climate change is occurring, the movie actually lacks important aspects of climate change such as explanations and realistic solutions, therefore Interstellar does a terrible job at explaining climate change. In order to show you that Interstellar does a poor job at defining climate change I will explore different aspects of the movie and of climate change. Although change in climate is made somewhat clear in the movie because of the dust storms and the farmers having to burn down their crops, what actually made the farmers lose their crops is …show more content…

Although the beginning of Interstellar really hooked the viewers with a storyline that seemed relatable, the end of the movie left us feeling hopeless. At the end of the movie we were left feeling wary for Dr. Brand because the planet that she is on did not seem safe. Turns out Cooper has to save Dr. Brand and bring her back to their new home somewhere in space. The only intelligent thought would be he is going to save her because she is not safe where she is right now. Viewers were also left feeling hopeless because the movie only gave us one solution to climate change and that was going to space. There is no chance that humans would survive in space the way that the characters in the movie did. It would take many years for us to figure out how to reside on another planet. For a good climate change movie to happen we need to feel inspired to get out and do something good for our planet, but the reality of the movie is that it left a us feeling helpless. If the movie would have portrayed a realistic answer to climate change, maybe there would not be such of an impending doom because we can not seem to fix nor adapt to the

The first cause is the drought. So much land was being harvested on for crops. How this affects the Dust Bowl is since there was little rainfall for four years(Doc E), if soil isn’t watered it turns into dust after a while. A lot of land was being harvested on, and a lot of land with soil that isn’t watered can turn into dust.

The poor farming practices that were put in place by profit farmers disregarding the state of the land coupled with the sudden explosive growth in farming technology allowing these farmers to farm much larger plots of land with much more ease left the topsoil completely vulnerable. While it was natural phenomena that sparked the Dust Bowl, it was not the cause, as these natural phenomena on their own would not have been nearly enough to cause anything on the scale of the Dust Bowl. The Dust Bowl was a direct causation of the poor farming methods of the farmers of the

However I do not think that our climate is as fragile as it was portrayed in the film. Global warming and human influence have both negatively impacted our climate so much so there is a huge temperature change that causes weather anomalies. When something is in a fragile state it is delicate, or breakable. The film portrays that in a sense our climate is breakable. Although the film was sensationalized and presented an unrealistic time scale some of the information was true.

Prior to the occurrence of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, farmers had rows of crops because of the demand. Soon after, this all failed with the onset of the Dust Bowl. The drought and wind erosion that had occurred amongst the land in the southern Great Plains region of the United States is what led many farmers to be displaced. In the Grapes of Wrath by John Steinback, he gives us the harsh reality of what occurred during the era of the Dust Bowl and Great Depression. “And then the dispossessed were drawn west—from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico; from Nevada and Arkansas families, tribes, dusted out, tractored out.

Farmers did not need as much land as before so they left a majority of it unoccupied and bare. Since there was no grass to hold all the dirt down, when winds would pick up the loose dirt it would create dense dust clouds, that were also known as “black blizzards”. These storms ruined

During the 1930s, however, this climate became even more extreme due to a prolonged drought that lasted nearly a decade. This lack of rainfall caused crops to wither and die, leaving soil exposed and vulnerable to erosion. In addition to the drought, high winds were also common in the Great Plains region. These winds picked up loose soil and created massive dust storms that could last for days at a time. The combination of drought and wind made it nearly impossible for farmers to grow crops or maintain healthy soil.

All organisms have specific adaptations which help survival. There are three categories of adaptations; structural, physiological, and behavioural. Over generations an organism might become so different from its ancestors that if they were put together they wouldn’t be capable of producing fertile offspring, creating a new subspecies. A similar thing may happen if one population is divided, then over time adapt to new surroundings. This process is called natural selection and can be found throughout any organism’s history, but can only occur if there is variation within a species.

I think the movie Interstellar is mostly based on emotions and logic. It’s director Christopher Nolan said that The further out into the infinite we went and the more we isolated these characters who have to go across the universe, the more the focus naturally becomes on their humanity, on that intimate bond they have, what makes us human, all those issues{1}. I think what’s important for us to be humans is care for others more than ourselves .It helps in us in taking risks we usually fear to take to help others. The 2014-movie Interstellar directed by Christopher Nolan had a lot of people’s effort who did research in order to make the movie more realistic to real life experience.
