    People who are convinced Climate change is a thing, don’t need this kind of movies to act. People who are convinced Climate change is a hoax took this movie like an insult to their kind. You need to be a better storyteller if you’re going to convince people are in the wrong, according to you, about something, otherwise they feel attacked

      Fair, but I think there’s still value in satire like this even if it doesn’t achieve the goal of convincing the other side. It kinda serves to point at the absurdity from a fresh perspective

      or perhaps they should be better, more informed consumers?

      like, at some point people should be responsible for their own stupidity and self delusions.

        If they were informed, they wouldn’t be consumers.

        Better informed consumers? Man, talk about utopia
