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.
fair. but hope remains.
Better informed consumers? Man, talk about utopia
a man can dream
I don't think that's true. At least in the US, we've gotten so used to compromise and small wins that we celebrate things like the growth of renewables, but most people rarely ever talk about how emissions have only risen higher. They don't want to hear how we crossed a major tipping point this year, or that our models are starting to look overly optimistic... They want to go about their lives and not worry about it too much
There's no compromising with climate change, we're still driving off the cliff. It's okay to celebrate turning the wheel a bit, but sometimes we do need a reminder to look up and see the big picture
