1. Remember when people collected national geographic? I had a few years worth at one point. Wasn’t worth moving, ended up in a dumpster.

   I remember them being a bit too much save the whales even back then.

2. I would say Disney delivered the coup de grace- it has been woke for years. Climate change central.

   Disney is unable to create entertainment people will pay for – Indiana Jones is losing 100s of millions at the box office.

   No way would I own their stock.

   1. While I’m pretty sure it will be a bust, the movie was just released today, so you’re kinda jumping the gun with “losing hundreds of millions” already

3. We can only hope that Natural Catastropic’s wannabe cousin would suffer the same hits. The fact that Canadian Geographic magazine hasn’t crashed and died is a tribute to taxpayers rather than content. In a recent issue the hand-wringing started with articles about the imminent demise of marmots; the peoplekind-produced perils of being a muskox; the importance of ‘conservation gardens’ in these times of scary declining biodiversity; and last but not least, as a respite from the doom and gloom, how native indians are global leaders in the protection of biodiversity.

4. What killed National Geographic was it becoming a bolshevik political journal. Another mouthpiece telling us we are all going to die when temperatures rise 1 1/2 degrees. Alberta goes through a 70 degree seasonal variation and only loses a few street people. Why would people pay money for more preaching? But I do thank NG for all the pictures of naked African women back in the 50s and 60s.

   1. Isn’t THAT the TRUTH scar! I gotta say that I TREASURED my grandmother’s ENTIRE collection of Nat. Geo’s all the way back to the 1920’s. It was my very FIRST exposure to naked women. And I must say that if I saw a pair of perky titties on a *ahem* …. Woman ovvvvv cullller … it mattered not. I would examine the exceptional large-format color photos from every angle … and imagined I lived in the Bush (so to speak). But all for “scientific” discovery, of course.

      Now … the magazine no longer explores various states of nakedness of primitive tribal peoples living in the Bush. Now, it’s nothing but charts, graphs, and pictures of Greenland melting into the sea in August. Boring. And not very scientific … but very Marxist.

      1. Kenji – My grandparent’s collection of saved NGs went back to 1906. Our grandparents were from an era where no-one would even contemplate throwing a copy away, though I’d bet they would be hard-pressed to explain why every copy had to be saved.

         Some wag suggested that to counter sea level rise in the Continental US, all we needed to do would be to take all those saved copies of Nat. Geo. out of everyone’s attics and stack them in the middle of Nebraska.

         The weight of all those copies would sink the middle of the North American Continent so deep that the the edges of the N. Am. plate would rise up several feet. Sea level problem solved.
