And in all the things that Senator Domenici said about the State here, he kind of left out the fact that you must be kind of a crosswords, because someone just held up a sign over there, "Ex-Iowans," greeting me.

Los Angeles Times
Focus : Pushing the Ozone Envelope : CBS DRAMA ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING ISN'T A PRETTY PICTURE
April 18, 1993 CONNIE KOENENN TIMES STAFF WRITER
Writer Jim Henerson was both pleased and surprised when CBS turned him loose on a project about global warming.
"I had signed a deal with them and they asked what I was interested in," says Henerson, a veteran TV writer. "I didn't want to write formula stuff, or the disease of the week. I'd been thinking about the ozone layer and global warming--all those things that are starting to scare us."
As it turned out, Jeff Sagansky, president of CBS Entertainment, had been thinking about those things too. He wanted an environmental project.
So Henerson, whose extensive series experience includes "Lassie," "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Bewitched," plus an Emmy for "Attica," got the rare assignment of writing a serious environmental script for a prime-time television audience.
The result is "The Fire Next Time," a two-part drama dramatizing the potentially devastating effects of global warming. The drama, produced by Robert Halmi's RHI Entertainment Inc., airs in two parts on Sunday and Tuesday.
Set approximately 30 years in the future, the drama depicts an America being ravaged by dying forests, drying rivers and shrinking beaches, its citizens plagued by waves of skin cancer, typhoid and cholera.
The story focuses on a Louisiana couple (Craig T. Nelson and Bonnie Bedelia) whose shrimp-fishing business and home are destroyed by the heat and storms of climate change. They undertake a trek to the cooler Northeast, making their way through a wasteland nation of cults and terrorists, a country gripped by "eco-phobia"--a fear of smog, germs and allergies.
This is not exactly escapist entertainment, Henerson acknowledges. Nor is it science fiction. He set it in the not-too-distant future so that most of the audience would envision themselves, or their children, being alive.
"It sounds fatuous, but I just hope people will take it seriously and think about it a little bit," he says. "I have kids and it bothers me to think of the world I'm going to be leaving them."
In the scene that touched him the most when he wrote it, the shrimp harvester's dying father (Richard Farnsworth) recalls a bumper sticker that said, "I'm Spending My Children's Inheritance," and apologizes to his own son for having depleted their natural world. "It's an environmental disaster movie with a message, and there's no doubt that it's kind of a downer," says Henerson. "I fully expected at any place along the process to be stopped, but I was surprised. CBS backed me all the way."
The most obvious precedent of apocalyptic television drama is "The Day After," ABC's landmark 1983 movie about the chilling aftereffects of nuclear bombing of the American Midwest. "We talked about that as a kind of model," says Henerson. "However, the dramatic model that worked best in my mind was 'Grapes of Wrath.' It was about a family displaced by an environmental event, the Dust Bowl, and they were crossing the country, making a trek to find a better life."
With the global-warming story, he feels, the thesis was richer: "The people displaced are themselves at fault, and I wanted them to make an odyssey across the country so it wouldn't be locked into any geographical area. This is everybody's problem."
What he hopes "The Fire Next Time" will achieve is to "put a little dent" into the general denial mechanism he sees at work. "The problem with global warming is that it's like watching a glacier melt," he says. "It just doesn't have dramatic impact."
But a TV drama does have impact. And a public that realizes the devastating consequences of ever-increasing gasses in the atmosphere--the average American is responsible for 40,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year--can also realize that there's still time to change the outcome, he believes.
"There is controversy over the time frame, but no controversy over the fact that greenhouse gasses are steadily increasing," says Henerson. "And we are probably the last generation with a window of opportunity to do something about it."
Henerson spent a lot of research time with scientists who are bona-fide experts, including Stephen Schneider, climatologist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. "It's not too late," says Schneider, who was science adviser on the project. "If this helps to educate the public, we can keep these stark images in the category of fiction." CBS, along with the Environmental Defense Fund, will help the activist process along. They've prepared a follow-up package for schools on the science of global warming and the personal "Greenhouse Diet," outlining steps individuals can take to reduce global warming, taken from Andrew Revkin's prize-winning book "Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast."
"There have been attempts in Hollywood to work in environmental themes, but nothing of this scope," Revkin says. With the educational outreach program, he says, "The show won't just float there and disappear. It will have impact."
"The Fire Next Time" airs on CBS at 9 p.m. on Sunday and Tuesday.

`The Fire Next Time' Is Certain To Engulf You
By John Voorhees
"The Fire Next Time," CBS miniseries, 9 p.m. Sunday and Tuesday, Channel 7.
Anyone who remembers Longfellow's 1847 epic poem, "Evangeline," will have a useful clue as to the eventual outcome of "The Fire Next Time," the rip-roaring, over-ambitious, often bizarre but never dull miniseries CBS is airing this week, as a salute to Earth Week.
But before references to Earth Week, Longfellow and epic poetry scare you off, be advised that "The Fire Next Time," even when it doesn't make much sense, is first and foremost a TV entertainment - and writer James Henerson has stuffed enough story, action and conflict into these four hours to last most TV series for several seasons.
"The Fire Next Time" is in the TV sci-fi tradition but instead of trekking to the stars, this film, which also has touches of "Road Warrior," imagines what life might be like a few decades from now in a world which has ignored warnings about global warming.
It stars Craig T. Nelson as Drew Morgan, a Louisiana bayou fisherman whose business is failing, whose marriage to Suzanne (Bonnie Bedelia) is failing, whose oldest son, Paul (Justin Whalin) hates him and whose father (Richard Farnsworth) is dying. The dysfunctional Morgan family also includes Ashley Jones as the teen-age daughter, Linnie, and Shawn Toovey as the youngest son, Jake.
Set "sometime in the future," the Morgans live in a world where air conditioning is rationed, where the heat, at least in the
Southern U.S., has become nearly unbearable, where water has become a precious commodity and the Colorado River has all but disappeared.
Now add to this a California that seems to be perpetually on fire, a devastating hurricane, a flood and the existence of various cults, from one that believes there's no hope for the future, to a more militant group called Eco-Survivalists. In short, life, as lived in "The Fire Next Time,' is pretty grim - but never dull.
Writer Henerson and director Tom McLoughlin obviously (and correctly) believed few would be willing to sit through a four-hour lecture on ecology, so they turned "The Fire Next Time" into a saga every bit as epic as "Evangeline" (which told of French-Canadians' trek from Nova Scotia to Louisiana to settle, the ancestors of today's Cajuns).
It includes plenty of family conflict, a long sequence with Mexican immigrants and the destruction of irrigation equipment, a startlingly realistic hurricane (which, incidentally, was filmed several weeks before last year's Hurricane Andrew - talk about life imitating art!).
There's the journey of homeless refugees up the Mississippi on a flat barge, a visit to an ecologically-perfect town that looks like it was created by Disney and sequences set in Canada that make it look like paradise after scenes in the battered U.S.A.
No expense has been spared on "The Fire Next Time," which is crammed with dozens of convincing crowd scenes shot in many refugee stations, the river journey, fires in California, several riots involving protesting citizens. This all forms a colorful backdrop for the performances by the large cast, all of whom do good work, including Jurgen Prochnow as an old family friend with too much of an interest in Mrs. Morgan, and especially Louise Fletcher in a funny turn as the scary leader of the Eco-Survivalists.
That's the kind of diversion that keeps cropping up in "The Fire Next Time." Hopefully, we'll do some serious thinking about global warming after viewing this film but certainly no viewer will be able to claim being bored. This film is to global warming what ABC's "The Day After" was to the Soviet nuclear threat.
Posted by Kerry Burgess, Aug 17, 2018 11:36 pm, excerpt
That was when I was struck with a profound sense of aloneness. I was completely alone in the world.
30 years ago I was naive enough to enjoy the escapism of such fantasy. Being an old man now, the idea of trying to survive in a world where no one else exists doesn't seem so appealing. For one reason, the windows. Walking around outside the empty windows of all the structures hold the promise of civilization.

Chapter 13
Stu interrupted him with a series of harsh, dry coughs. He bent over with the force of them.
The effect on Deitz was galvanic. He was up off the bed like a shot and across to the airlock with his feet seeming not to touch the floor at all. Then he was fumbling in his pocket for the square key and ramming it into the slot.
“Don’t bother,” Stu said mildly. “I was faking.”
Deitz turned to him slowly. Now his face had changed. His lips were thinned with anger, his eyes staring. “You were what?”
“Faking,” Stu said. His smile broadened.
Deitz took two uncertain steps toward him. His fists closed, opened, then closed again. “But why? Why would you want to do something like that?”
“Sorry,” Stu said, smiling. “That’s classified.”
“You shit sonofabitch,” Deitz said with soft wonder.
“Go on. Go on out and tell them they can do their tests.”
He slept better that night than he had since they had brought him here. And he had an extremely vivid dream. He had always dreamed a great deal—his wife had complained about him thrashing and muttering in his sleep—but he had never had a dream like this.
He was standing on a country road, at the precise place where the black hottop gave up to bone-white dirt. A blazing summer sun shone down. On both sides of the road there was green corn, and it stretched away endlessly. There was a sign, but it was dusty and he couldn’t read it. There was the sound of crows, harsh and far away. Closer by, someone was playing an acoustic guitar, fingerpicking it. Vic Palfrey had been a picker, and it was a fine sound.
This is where I ought to get to, Stu thought dimly. Yeah, this is the place, all right.
What was that tune? “Beautiful Zion”? “The Fields of My Father’s Home”? “Sweet Bye and Bye”? Some hymn he remembered from his childhood, something he associated with full immersion and picnic lunches. But he couldn’t remember which one.
Then the music stopped. A cloud came over the sun. He began to be afraid. He began to feel that there was something terrible, something worse than plague, fire, or earthquake. Something was in the corn and it was watching him. Something dark was in the corn.
He looked, and saw two burning red eyes far back in the shadows, far back in the corn. Those eyes filled him with the paralyzed, hopeless horror that the hen feels for the weasel. Him, he thought. The man with no face. Oh dear God. Oh dear God no.
Then the dream was fading and he awoke with feelings of disquiet, dislocation, and relief. He went to the bathroom and then to his window. He looked out at the moon. He went back to bed but it was an hour before he got back to sleep. All that corn, he thought sleepily. Must have been Iowa or Nebraska, maybe northern Kansas. But he had never been in any of those places in his life.

CHAPTER 21
STAGES
Cereals and vegetables would be grown by the farmers. They'd all eat well, and live in harmony with Nature guns weren't all that great an advancement on bows and arrows, were they?-and they'd be able to study the natural world in relative peace.
It was a beautiful future to look forward to, though the initial four to eight months would be pretty dreadful. The stuff that'd be on TV, and the radio, and the newspapers-while they lasted would be horrible, but again, everything had a price. Humanity as the dominant force on the planet had to die, to be replaced by Nature herself, with just enough of the right people to observe and appreciate what she was and what she did.

CHAPTER 21
STAGES
The Project would save Nature Herself, and the Project was made of relatively few people, less than a thousand, plus those who had been selected to survive and continue the effort, the unknowing ones whose lives would not be forfeit to the crimes committed in their names. Most would never understand the cause for their survival-that they were the wife or child or close relative of ii Project member, or had skills that the Project needed: airplane pilots, mechanics, farmers, communication specialists, and the like. Someday they might figure it out that was inevitable, of course. Some people talked, and others listened. When the listeners figured it out, they would probably be horrified, but then it would be far too late for them to do anything about it. There was a wonderful inevitability to it all.

MARATHON
"Don't you know about the Project?"
"A little, but not enough to understand what you just said."
What the hell, the hunter thought. "Dmitriy, human life on the planet is going to come to a screeching halt, boy."
"But "
"They didn't tell you?"
"No, Foster, not that part. Can you tell me?"
What the hell, Hunnicutt thought again. The Olympics were almost over. Why not? This Russkie understood about Nature, knew about riding, and he damned sure worked for John Brightling in a very sensitive capacity.
"It's called Shiva," he began, and went on for several minutes.
For Popov it was a time to put his professional face back on. His emotions were neutralized while he listened. He even managed a smile which masked his inner horror.
"But how do you distribute it?"
"Well, you see, John has a company that also works for him. Global Security-the boss man's a guy named Henriksen."
"Ah, yes, I know him. He was in your FBI."
"Oh? I knew he was a cop, but not a fed. Anyway, they got the consulting contract withthe Aussies for the Olympics, and one of Bill's people will be spreading the Shiva. Something to do with the air-conditioning system at the stadium, they tell me. They're going to spread it on the last day, see, and the closing ceremonies. The next day everyone flies home, and then, like, thousands of people all take the bug home with them."
"But what protects us?"
"You got a shot when you came here, right?"
"Yes, Killgore said it was a booster for something."
"Oh, it was, Dmitriy. It's a booster, all right. It's the vaccine that protects you against Shiva. I got it, too. That's the `B' vaccine, pal. There's another one, they tell me, the `A' vaccine, but that one's not the one you want to get." Hunnicutt explained on.
"How do you know all this?" Popov asked.
"Well, you see, in case people figure this out, I'm one of the guys who helped set up the perimeter security System here. So, they told me why the Project needs perimeter security. It's pretty serious shit, man. If anyone were to find out about what was done, hell, they might even nuke us, y'know?" Foster pointed out with a grin. "Not many people really understand about saving the planet. I mean, we do this now, or in about twenty years, hell, everything and everybody dies.

And still no clue on who might be sending these people out of the dugout after us."
"Russian," Foley said. "A KGB RIF, I bet."
"I won't disagree with that, seeing how that guy showed "p in London-we think-but the Five' guys haven't turned up anything else."
"Who's working the case at `Five'?"
"Holt, Cyril Holt," Clark answered.
"Oh, okay, I know Cyril. Good man. You can believe what he tells you."
"That's nice, but right now I believe it when he says he doesn't have jack shit. I've been toying with the idea of calling Sergey Nikolay'ch myself and asking for a little help."
"I don't think so, John. That'll have to go through me, remember? I like Sergey, too, but not on this one. Too open-ended."
"That leaves us dead in the water, Ed. I do not like the fact that there's some Russkie around who knows my name and my current job."
Foley had to nod at that. No field officer liked the idea of being known to anyone at all, and Clark had ample reason to worry about it, with his family sharing his current duty station. He'd never taken Sandy into the field to use diem as cover on a job, as some field officers had done in their careers. No officer had ever lost a spouse that way, but a few had been roughed up, and it was now contrary to CIA policy. More than that, John had lived his entire professional life as an unperson, a ghost seen by few, recognized by none, and known only to those on his own side.

Greta Thunberg turns down award, says climate movement doesn't need 'more prizes'
"What we need is for our rulers and politicians to listen to the research," said the 16-year-old who has inspired millions around the globe to protest for climate action.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, who has inspired millions across the world to stage protests urging leaders to better tackle global warming, has declined an environmental prize, saying "the climate movement does not need any more prizes."
Last year, about three months into her school climate strike campaign, Thunberg declined another award — the Children's Climate Prize, which is awarded by a Swedish electricity company — because many of the finalists had to fly to Stockholm for the ceremony.
Thunberg notes that flights contribute to global warming, so she sailed across the Atlantic Ocean for two weeks on a zero-emissions sailboat to reach New York.
