    It’s probably a pretty boring topic at this point. At least for a decade you hear about it constantly so it just doesn’t have that sort of exciting aspect to it. It’s like making a movie about inflation.

      If you explore the dynamics of people migrating en masse and severe drought causing crop failures and small countries mismanaging famines you jump right into war which makes for exciting movies

      Famine and climate refugees lead to authoritarian governments. Or, just have it in the backdrop like a comedy about a heatwave in March where people are sweltering and it turns into a meetcute.

      Or just the super fucked up first chapter of Ministry for the Future.
