Earth Day Movie Playlist: 15 Cautionary Tales of Climate Disaster

"Some of these movies take place in a post-apocalyptic future—as envisioned by filmmakers in the recent and not-so-recent past—while others are reflections of our present society. They introduce heroic characters fighting to prevent tragedy, or coping in the midst of it, or surviving in the aftermath. They show us greedy and power-hungry villains who selfishly gobble up resources to improve and preserve their statuses at any cost. These stories serve as warnings about the monsters and other horrors we might unleash if we continue down our current path.

We've ranked them based on a highly non-scientific and totally subjective scale, taking into account the overall quality of the film, plus how effectively it addresses the theme of climate disaster. Maybe watching one or more of them will inspire you to do your part to ensure they don't come to pass. It's the very least we can do."
