Abstract
This essay examines contemporary commercial cinema (esp. Waterworld, The Day After Tomorrow, Snowpiercer, and Geostorm) as it relates to the matter of Climate Change, leaning heavily on Marxist criticism (esp. Zizek and Jameson), and focusing on configurations of Climate Change in what Jameson calls the 'political unconscious,' as they relate to capitalist and postmodern ideological structures.
