Good but wrong message if you want to actually change anything

Oh great, another climate change documentary. Don't get me wrong, I am all about saving the planet which is why I decided to watch this documentary, however, it shows more doom and gloom rather than solutions which i think would be a better message to portray. At this point, most people understand that humanity is in a crisis. At the end, the only solutions that are offered are planting trees and reducing emissions substantially. That's it. Like, really!? That's it!?

Very little incite is mentioned on that we should change the structure of our economy if we are going to change in the long run. No information about different techniques to slow climate change down other than reducing carbon and planting trees of course. No carbon capture, cloud creation, sea weed farming, solar, wind, geothermal, wave, etc. Just mostly doom and gloom, which CAN be a powerful message, however, I fear it has been overplayed. People are tired of hearing about the "tipping points " and are more interested in solutions. Let's talk about solutions and ways to implement them ASAP. That would be a much better documentary imo. It's more uplifting and shows that we as humans can be in control of our future.

All we ever hear about climate change anymore is that the clock is ticking and we are running out of time. People don't get motivated by that message. People feel defeated and they tune out and go on with their daily lives business as usual.

And also for the love of god stop attacking the consumer about their energy consumption and water usage and start attacking the PRODUCERS!!! It's the producers that are the ones to blame, not consumers. If all electricity generated was from a renewable source you wouldn't care if we left lights on or if all vehicles emitted no co2 you wouldn't care if we drove too much. Start pressuring the producers and force them to change, that way consumers don't even have a choice but to choose renewable or sustainable practices. Exxon Mobil has been using this technique to shift the blame off their shoulders to the consumers. Tobacco companies have also done the same thing. You have to stop the producers. That is all.
