Also the inciting incident to the 'verse of Firefly:
Mal: "Here’s how it is: (The) Earth got used up, so we (moved out, and) terraformed a whole new galaxy of Earths, some rich and flush with new technologies, some not so much. (The) Central Planets, them as formed the Alliance, waged war to bring everyone under their rule; a few idiots tried to fight it, among them myself. I’m Malcolm Reynolds, captain of Serenity.
It’s not a fictional disease. They stopped crop rotations as the soil became too fucked up so everyone is using the same GMO corn but because they are identical they are susceptible to the same disease and it can spread rapidly.
This has happened to lots of crops like bananas and is currently happening again.
The beginning of the movie is people trying to just play their baseball game around a sandstorm getting annoyed at scientists for telling them the world is ending to the point where NASA is in hiding.
Not fictional. Likely reality without the, us getting lucky enough to shoot McConaughey through a wormhole bit.
I just mean that I don’t remember if climate change was specifically called out. I don’t think it was. Not that another ecological disaster wasn’t a major plot point.
Ahh man it’s been on the rewatch list for some time and like there is like 20 different disasters happening on earth in that movie. I don’t know if they specifically call it out but I mean wildfires, blights, and shutdown of governments… It feels like the reason they don’t call it out is why bother at that point.
But you might be right that they just call out symptoms and leave it at that. It’s shockingly anti science while on earth.
Many people forget that the reason everybody is trying to find a new planet in interstellar, is because climate change made theirs unhabitable.

Was it explicitly climate change? I thought it was “blight” or whatever fictional disease killing crops.
