Game of Thrones is secretly all about climate change

Did you know that Game of Thrones is secretly about the world's terrible failure to stop climate change?
Well, it is, and this video explains why:




The show's much more entertaining stand-in for climate change is the White Walkers, the north-of-the-Wall monsters that command a gigantic zombie army.

The White Walkers are a threat to all humanity: their zombie minions are equally happy to rip apart people of all nations and noble houses. Yet instead of uniting to combat the shared threat to human existence itself, the noble houses in the show spend basically all their time on their own petty disagreements and struggle for power. White Walkers are generally ignored; some nobles deny their existence outright.

Swap climate change for White Walkers and "countries" for noble houses, and it starts to sound a lot like the real world.
