Don’t Look Up: four climate experts on the polarising disaster film
NĂŁo olhe para cima: quatro especialistas em clima sobre o filme polarizador sobre o desastre

Critics haven’t been kind to Adam McKay’s eco-satire, but many climate experts are lauding it. Here four give their views.
Os crĂ­ticos nĂŁo foram gentis com a sĂĄtira ecolĂłgica de Adam McKay, mas muitos especialistas em clima estĂŁo elogiando-a. Aqui, quatro dĂŁo suas opiniĂ”es.

Rarely has a film been as divisive as Adam McKay’s climate satire Don’t Look Up.
Raramente um filme foi tĂŁo divisivo quanto a sĂĄtira climĂĄtica Don’t Look Up de Adam McKay.

Although it has been watched by millions, and is already Netflix’s third most watched film ever, the response from critics was largely negative.
Embora venha sido assistido por milhÔes e jå seja o terceiro filme mais assistido da Netflix, a resposta dos críticos foi amplamente negativa.

Many found its story of scientists who discover an asteroid heading for Earth a clumsy allegory for the climate crisis, while others just found it boring.
Muitos acharam sua história de cientistas que descobrem um asteroide indo em direção à Terra uma alegoria desajeitada para a crise climåtica, enquanto outros simplesmente acharam chato.

But many in the climate movement have praised the film, and audience reviews have been generally positive.
Mas muitos no movimento climĂĄtico elogiaram o filme, e as avaliaçÔes do pĂșblico foram geralmente positivas.

We asked four climate experts to give their views on the film. Warning: spoilers ahead.
Pedimos a quatro especialistas em clima para darem suas opiniĂ”es sobre o filme. Aviso: spoilers a seguir. 

Ketan Joshi:
‘The main character of the climate crisis is absent’
‘O personagem principal da crise climĂĄtica estĂĄ ausente’
 […]

Fiona Harvey:
‘The role of the technoloon, played by Mark Rylance, struck a chord’
‘O papel do technoloon, interpretado por Mark Rylance, tocou uma corda sensĂ­vel’
[…]
After 17 years of reporting on the climate crisis, I doubted at first that the film had much to tell me about the frustrations of communicating a hypothetical catastrophe.
Depois de 17 anos de reportagens sobre a crise climåtica, duvidei a princípio que o filme tivesse muito a me dizer sobre as frustraçÔes de comunicar uma catåstrofe hipotética.

As the film’s scientists first struggled to clothe their data in sober, measured terms, then broke into swearing, armwaving shrieks about provable imminent apocalypse, I nodded along.
Enquanto os cientistas do filme primeiro se esforçavam para apresentar seus dados em termos sóbrios e comedidos, depois irrompiam em xingamentos e gritos agitados sobre um apocalipse iminente e provåvel, eu concordava.

Yes, that’s what it feels like, and no, no one listens, not until it is too late.
Sim, é isso que parece, e não, ninguém escuta, não até que seja tarde demais.

Yet it was illuminating in unexpected ways – something I’ve always struggled with is how rational people can fail to grasp the scale of climate breakdown, how we could leave it so late.
No entanto, foi esclarecedor de maneiras inesperadas – algo com que sempre lutei Ă© como pessoas racionais podem falhar em entender a escala do colapso climĂĄtico, como pudemos deixar para tĂŁo tarde.

As the film shows, it’s partly because vested interests keep it that way, but it’s also just because we’re human.
Como o filme mostra, Ă© em parte porque interesses adquiridos mantĂȘm as coisas assim, mas tambĂ©m Ă© sĂł porque somos humanos.

Believing in disasterbefore it strikes is fundamentally not how we work.
Acreditar no desastre antes que ele aconteça não é fundamentalmente como funcionamos.

The role of the techno-loon, played by Mark Rylance, struck another chord. Cop26 was not a failure, though on the surface that was the obvious conclusion – it was more nuanced than that.
O papel do tecno-loon, interpretado por Mark Rylance, tocou outro acorde. Cop26 nĂŁo foi um fracasso, embora na superfĂ­cie essa fosse a conclusĂŁo Ăłbvia – era mais nuançado do que isso.

Soon after the Cop26 circus left Glasgow, the danger of painting the outcome in such blackand-white terms became apparent, as wellmeaning experts concluded – in all seriousness – as talking didn’t work, our best hope would be for billionaires to bypass the UN and geoengineer the climate from space.
Logo depois que o circo da Cop26 deixou Glasgow, o perigo de pintar o resultado em termos tĂŁo preto e branco se tornou aparente, conforme especialistas bem-intencionados concluĂ­ram – com toda a seriedade – que, como falar nĂŁo funcionava, nossa melhor esperança seria que os bilionĂĄrios ignorassem a ONU e fizessem a geoengenharia do clima a partir do espaço.

Because obviously the answer to a vast uncontrolled experiment on the atmosphere is to conduct a vast uncontrolled experiment on the atmosphere.
Porque, obviamente, a resposta para um vasto experimento descontrolado na atmosfera Ă© conduzir um vasto experimento descontrolado na atmosfera.

Nina Lakhani:
‘Jennifer Lawrence’s character will resonate with many female climate scientists’
‘A personagem de Jennifer Lawrence vai ressoar com muitas cientistas climĂĄticas femininas’
[…]

How Kate Dibiasky, the postgraduate student played by Jennifer Lawrence who discovered the comet, is portrayed as an unhinged hysterical woman, will resonate with many female climate scientists and activists whose crucial knowledge has been sidelined.
A forma como Kate Dibiasky, a estudante de pós-graduação interpretada por Jennifer Lawrence que descobriu o cometa, é retratada como uma mulher histérica e desequilibrada, vai repercutir em muitas cientistas climåticas e ativistas cujo conhecimento crucial foi deixado de lado.

The scene where her parents declare that they’re in favour of the jobs the comet will provide will resonate with millions of people, including me, trying to deal with relatives who have bought into political lies.
A cena em que os pais dela declaram que são a favor dos empregos que o cometa fornecerå repercutirå em milhÔes de pessoas, inclusive eu, tentando lidar com parentes que acreditaram em mentiras políticas.

Damian Carrington:
‘It highlights the absurdity of staring disaster in the face, then looking away’
‘Isso destaca o absurdo de encarar o desastre de frente e depois desviar o olhar’

I loved Don’t Look Up, both as an entertainment and as a climate crisis parable. But the movie has been panned by many critics, with the main charge being that it is heavy-handed, blunt and too obvious.
Eu adorei Don’t Look Up, tanto como entretenimento quanto como parĂĄbola da crise climĂĄtica. Mas o filme foi criticado por muitos crĂ­ticos, com a acusação principal de que ele Ă© pesado, direto e Ăłbvio demais.

But that is exactly the point. Scientists have been issuing blunt warnings about obvious dangers of global heating for years and have been ignored – carbon emissions are still rising.
Mas esse Ă© exatamente o ponto. Cientistas tĂȘm emitido alertas contundentes sobre perigos Ăłbvios do aquecimento global hĂĄ anos e tĂȘm sido ignorados – as emissĂ”es de carbono ainda estĂŁo aumentando.

The film perfectly skewers the key ways in which they have been ignored: for short-term political expediency and short-term corporate profit.
O filme aborda perfeitamente as principais maneiras pelas quais eles foram ignorados: por conveniĂȘncia polĂ­tica de curto prazo e lucro corporativo de curto prazo.

In particular, the movie beautifully portrays the incredulity of scientists that their carefully constructed evidence can be dismissed with bluster such as “we’ll sit tight and assess” by leaders more concerned about today’s political weather and a media more interested in the minutiae of celebrities’ lives.
Em particular, o filme retrata lindamente a incredulidade dos cientistas de que suas evidĂȘncias cuidadosamente construĂ­das podem ser descartadas com fanfarronices como "vamos ficar sentados e avaliar" por lĂ­deres mais preocupados com o clima polĂ­tico atual e uma mĂ­dia mais interessada nas minĂșcias da vida das celebridades.
[…]

The point of the film is savagely highlighting the absurdity of staring disaster in the face, then looking away rather than acting. In that respect, it is a triumph.
O ponto do filme Ă© selvagemente destacar o absurdo de encarar o desastre de frente e entĂŁo desviar o olhar em vez de agir. Nesse aspecto, Ă© um triunfo.
