At CoolerPlanet.TV we intend to develop Climate Solutions TV Shows with long legs, that can draw large loyal audiences for 10 years or more. Our TV show concepts will work across all genres, and they’ll always entertain first, enlighten second, and energize third, but we’ll never ever preach.
We’re talking about drama, comedy, dramedy, all forms of reality TV shows from competition to makeover. We’ll meet people where they are, for example, creating telenovelas for the Latin American market, like Las Curanderas de la Tierra Madre which is down below the Bella Coola Thundersnow TV Series Bible. Our tech-based and nature-based climate solutions will be woven seamlessly into the typical genre specific television show formats. There are abundant sponsorship, advertising, product placement and naming rights opportunities in these TV shows for climate conscious companies.
LOGLINE: A biracial teenage girl from Missoula, Montana named Bella Coola Thundersnow doesn’t believe in the old ways of her grandfather, Big Blackfoot “BB” Thundersnow, who’s a Water Diviner, Medicine Man and Rainmaker born into the Kootenai Indian Tribe. BB Thundersnow was also the first Native American farmer in Montana to implement regenerative agriculture practices. But then Bella Coola was struck by lightning, and discovers afterwards that she can move heat and moisture around in the sky to form cumulous, cumulonimbus and nimbostratus rain clouds, and then move those rain clouds from one place to another to put out forest fires and prairie fires, as well as mitigate damage from floods and drought.
LOGLINE+: Thundersnow Clan Legends speak of a half Indian and half White teenage girl born to an unmarried mother who will become the Wisewoman of the One, the greatest Medicine Woman who has ever lived. This Wisewoman of the One will have the power to sing and dance with the sun and the clouds, the moon and the stars, the wind and the rain. She will also teach people in every country that all living things are divine and interconnected.
MASHUP: Bella Coola Thundersnow could be imagined as a mashup of Hannah Montana, The X-Files, and The Magnificent Seven (1960), which was based on The Seven Samurai (1954), directed by Akira Kurosawa. But instead of chasing paranormal phenomena like UFOs, alien abductions and cryptozoological creatures like Bigfoot, Bella Coola Thundersnow and The Band of Seven chase Extreme Weather Events. As Bella Coola evolves as a Medicine Woman, she’ll chase more dangerous Extreme Weather Events like tornadoes and hurricanes. As her powers grow, the powers that be will chase Bella Coola Thundersnow & The Band of Seven to the ends of the Earth.
Bella Coola Thundersnow’s Band of Seven is her Rock & Roll Band, and her first line of defense against all the bad guys who want to control her, and profit from her powers. Please meet the Band of Seven: 1) Noah Boatwright (bass, NOAA); 2) Billy Bluewater (Seminole Indian, drums, Navy Seal), 3) Leonard Rayne (keyboards, Pilot USAF), 4) Brad Stringer (guitar, USDA), 5) Titus Trueheart (Cherokee Indian, fiddle, Army Ranger), 6) Melody Merriweather (tambourine, cabasa, background vocals, FBI), and 7) Harmony Merriweather (guiro, cowbell, background vocals, CIA). All seven of the band members have recently resigned or retired from their government gigs to help Bella Coola in her effort to try and help reverse Climate Change.
Medical Drama TV show structure blends case-of-the-week plots (patient focus) with ongoing professional and romantic arcs (running plots), using a multi-plot structure (A, B & C stories) within a five act framework (Setup, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Resolution/Denouement), to balance episodic medical emergencies with the character development, ethical dilemmas, and relationship dramas that create tension and drive television series to long-term popularity.
Doctor Shows, Cop Shows, and Lawyer Shows are all developed with pretty much the same bell curve of information, action and emotion. Our Climate Solution TV Show Bella Coola Thundersnow will follow that same format. You can think of our global warming problem as a worldwide pandemic. Within that context there are always hot spots where the pandemic flares up and becomes a localized emergency including these types of patients: forest fires, prairie fires, droughts, floods, sea level rise, subsidence (sinking cities), heatwaves, blizzards, ice storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, air pollution and water pollution.
Think of Bella Coola Thundersnow & The Band of Seven as the brilliant and beautiful, hunky and handsome doctors with healing powers that the world has not seen before now, and the emergencies listed just above as the billion-dollar patients. These extreme weather emergencies put plant life, wildlife, human life, and Mother Earth in dire danger. Bella Coola is the only Rock Star Doctor and Wisewoman of the One in the world who can heal these patients.
The largest U.S. cities are New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, Jacksonville, Fort Worth, San Jose, Austin, Charlotte, Columbus, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Oklahoma City, Detroit, Washington D.C., Boston and Memphis. The population of the largest MSAs in the U.S. is approximately 128.8 million people. This figure represents around 38% of the total U.S. population, and the TV audience we’ll target in S1 and S2. Our Bella Coola Thundersnow S3 and S4 will feature smaller cities, towns, rural America, and the folks who grow our food.
Bella Coola Thundersnow & The Band of Seven chase and mitigate extreme weather events all across America, and then they play concerts at every stop. They also bring people together to talk about what each and every one of us can do starting right now to help reverse climate change. They call these concerts their Rolling Thundersnow Revue.
Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue Concert Tour happened in 1975 and 1976 with 57 concerts in America and Canada. This widespread geographical approach creates tons of possibilities for celebrities from all walks of life (film & TV, music, sports, tech, finance, et al), and every corner of America, to make guest appearances on our Bella Coola Thundersnow TV show.
To accompany our Bella Coola Thundersnow TV Series we’ll also create a Bella Coola Thundersnow Book Series that can be configured into novels. In the back of each book we’ll include facts and figures based on the climate problems and climate solutions for the cities listed above, as well as the state of Montana featured in our Pilot Episode. We’ll also include climate action steps for citizens, cities, counties and states, as well as contact information for organizations that may be able to help.
Bella Coola Thundersnow Seasons 1 and 2 will focus on larger cities struggling with their climate problems and solutions. Seasons 3 and 4 will focus on smaller cities, towns and rural areas that have their own types of climate problems and solutions. We’d like to develop a handful of bricks and mortar Thundersnow Regenerative Agriculture Centers (TRAC) across America that could help farmers and ranchers get hands on training, that all gets recorded on video as part of the TRAC Video Library, so that they can learn how to make the transition to regen ag faster, better and cheaper.
We also believe we can create a makeover cooperative competition reality TV show entitled Grab the Bull by the Horns around farmers and ranchers who compete against each other to see who can do the best job of implementing their regenerative agriculture transition plans. Our makeover cooperative competition TV show will focus on prizes for contestants delivering the best real world farm and ranch climate & food results, plus the most useful sharing of those results to help other farmers and ranchers make the transition, and the most impactful societal benefits achieved locally and globally.
There are 876 million agricultural acres in America as of 2024. Roughly 110 million acres of that is Indian land. Our goal will be to bring Cowboys & Indians together to help transition America to regenerative agriculture.
Las Curanderas de la Tierra Madre (Spanish), and Las Curandeiras de la Mãe Terra (Portuguese), will be Amazon Rainforest Healing and Regenerative Agriculture TV Shows woven into a telenovela format for Latin America. We’ll also have a handful of Thundersnow Regenerative Agriculture Centers (TRAC) in Latin America, and our Grab the Bull by the Horns TV Show in Spanish, Tomar El Toro por los Cuernos, as well as Portuguese, Agarrar o Touro Pelos Cornos. We definitely plan to create team-up crossover storylines dusting our Latin American TV Shows with Bella Coola Thundersnow.
The Amazon Rainforest constitutes over half of Earth's remaining rainforests and covers roughly 40% of South America. While Brazil, whose citizens speak Portuguese, holds the vast majority (60%), the rainforest is a critical transboundary resource covering an area in South America nearly the size of the continental United States.
Agroforestry and regenerative agriculture can help save the Amazon Rainforest by restoring degraded cattle pastures, boosting biodiversity, and offering farmers sustainable livelihoods. These systems replace destructive monocultures by mimicking natural ecosystems, which locks in carbon (approx. 11 tons per acre yearly), protects soil, and secures water cycles. Please watch this amazing four minute regenerative agriculture video.
The Amazon Rainforest creates its own weather systems, specifically by driving its own rainy season and generating localized rain through a process known as moisture recycling. Through massive transpiration, the forest's three trillion trees act as a biotic pump, releasing 20 billion tons of water vapor into the atmosphere daily, which seeds clouds and creates, "flying rivers" that regulate regional rainfall.
This self-made weather cycle is threatened by deforestation, which disrupts this natural biotic pump, and can lead to less rainfall and potentially turn parts of the Amazon Rainforest into dry savanna.
The Amazon Rainforest is the climatic centerpiece of Latin America, but there’s a lot more change for the better we can accomplish with these telenovelas. Latin America (including Mexico, Central America, and South America) holds the world's largest reserves of agricultural land, covering over 200 million hectares (~494 million acres) added in the last 50 years. Mexico alone has approximately ~247 million acres of agricultural land, covering 49.4% of its territory as of 2022. The region has seen massive expansion in agricultural land use, with Statista reporting these totals in Colombia ~105.5 million acres, Bolivia ~94.2 million acres, and Peru ~63 million acres.
Agriculture in Latin America is growing rapidly, often at the expense of cutting down old growth trees and clearing forests. Agroforestry and regenerative agriculture can help heal the damage from factory farming.
We can’t forget the larger Spanish speaking Caribbean Islands. Based on the most recent available agricultural census estimates (2021–2025), the total agricultural land for these islands is approximately 18.7 million acres.
The art of the possible for support of an initiative like Las Curanderas de la Tierra Madre, could run the gamut from Pope Leo XIV to Bad Bunny, with many other Latin American athletes and entertainers possibly getting involved.
Pope Leo XIV (formerly Robert Prevost from Chicago) worked for over two decades in Peru. As an Augustinian missionary, he served in northern Peru, specifically in Trujillo and Chulucanas, before becoming the Bishop of Chiclayo in 2014. He was naturalized as a Peruvian citizen in 2015. Pope Leo XIV has called for greater action on climate change, saying there is, “No room for indifference or resignation. Some have chosen to deride the increasingly evident signs of climate change, to ridicule those who speak of global warming, and even to blame the poor for the very thing that affects them the most."
Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) is a Puerto Rican artist who was raised in a devout Catholic household in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. He attended the Most Holy Trinity Parish, where he sang in the choir and served as an altar server until age 13. Bad Bunny uses his global platform to advocate for climate justice, focusing on environmental degradation and energy grid failures in Puerto Rico. His 2026 Super Bowl performance featured symbolic, damaged power poles during his song "El Apagón" (“The Blackout”), spotlighting frequent power outages and demanding accountability and improvements to the Puerto Rican Energy Grid. Maybe those energy grid improvements could include wind, wave and solar power?
