Nor do I, Gray. Nor do I. Which made me think a little bit more deeply about one iconic scene from the film—the scene of Roy Batty (starring Rutger Hauer) speaking one last time to Rick Deckard (starring Harrison Ford), which became famously known as the “tears in rain” monologue. Below is the full quote:

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”

The scene still gives me goosebumps to this day. Though, over time, it’s given me goosebumps for different reasons. When I originally watched that film, my initial observation of the scene was that of a misunderstood protagonist who went to great lengths in pursuit of his freedom—from both slavery and that of his limited lifespan. Today, however, there is a different sense of sorrow emanating from Roy Batty’s final words.

If we ever reached the point of environmental destruction in the real world as depicted in Blade Runner, how might Roy Batty word his final goodbye? What things would he have seen in the past that people in the future wouldn’t believe? What moments would be lost in time as Earth’s inhabitants die off as a result of proliferated anthropogenic climate change?

Perhaps, he’d mention the massive glaciers which make up our polar ice caps. Today, they are melting at an unprecedented rate, causing incredible shifts in our weather patterns and destroying life that once relied on the stability of those ice caps. He might also mention our coral reef ecosystem that serves as a home for monumental biodiversity. Because of climate change, our coral reefs have nearly been eradicated due to bleaching. Or, maybe, he’d mention all of the walks of life on this planet that had long since perished, never to be seen again.

According to a recent report by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), we have until the year 2030—11 years from now—to get climate change under control. And if we fail, our time on this planet will be limited. Like that scene of Roy Batty, a Replicant fighting for life, dying, this incredible and beautiful world will be “lost in time, like tears in rain.” Which is why we cannot fail.

There are many things that you, as an individual, can do to help save this planet, such as Gray Scott’s “12 Ways to Avoid a Dystopian Future.” But we have to think bigger. If we truly wish to survive this, we need to start coming up with radical solutions to address a radically changing climate. Thankfully, there’s a radical solution currently in the works and is building up steam—the Green New Deal.

The Green New Deal is legislation that was laid out by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey, of which aims to “generate 100 percent of the nation’s electricity from clean sources within the next 10 years, upgrade the United States’ power grid, invest in energy efficiency and renewable technology, and provide training for jobs in the new, green economy.” And since its proposal, it’s now been endorsed by nearly every declared Democratic candidate for the upcoming 2020 election. More importantly, it has overwhelming bipartisan support among voters.

This is our radical solution. But it can’t stop there. The United States is only one of many different countries which make up this planet. If we wish to defeat climate change, we have to put our differences aside and come together. If you support the Green New Deal, reach out to your own local representatives and demand that similar legislation be considered. We have one shot at this, people. Let’s make it count.
