The film explores how climate change became inexorably linked to United States national security in the 21st century. Experts in defense and security warn how the terrifying consequences of climate change exacerbate global instability and how climate change will become the major force shaping the global future.
Scott's filmmaking does a smooth job of linking A to B to Z, with slick, studiously understated montage and an effective music score, although some of the arguments made seem a bit of a stretch, as if climate change is being shoehorned into things artificially.

Civilization has the wealth and the technology to start dealing with the threat, but does it have the wisdom?

The information here is compelling and frightening, but the movie is ham-handed.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
Scott packages these concerns and others in a smart way, and includes the occasional bit of eye-opening history.
