I concur.
The message is true, but I would prefer the messenger be more like Rachel Carson with Silent Spring. When a big "R" republican or big "D" democrat, or even a "G"reen start making movies most of the population will see it as propaganda and a ploy for political power. When a reknowned environmental scientist is willing to place their bacon on the line I'm more inclined to listen.
The trouble with activism today is the cacaphony. Pick an emergency and let's stick with it.
