    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.
