Futures Forum: Climate change... and 'Interstellar': degrading soil and running out of food
Some are calling it a 'Cli-fi':
'Interstellar' May be a 'Cli-fi' Classic (Guest Blog) - TheWrap
... even though it doesn't actually mention the 'c' word:
No, Interstellar doesn’t mention climate change—but it could still do the problem a lot of good - Greenpeace Blogs Greenpeace Blogs
It's certainly provoked debate:
Is Christopher Nolan's Interstellar About Climate Change? - CINEMABLEND
Does 'Interstellar' make the case for climate change? | MSNBC
How Interstellar made Michael Caine think again about climate change | Film | The Guardian
Interstellar and the Climate-Culture War | Power Line
With some attacking the film for looking at the issue in the first place:
Right Wing Attacks Media For Saying Interstellar Is About Climate Change. Seriously. | ThinkProgress
... and others saying it is defeatist:
“Interstellar” solves climate change by incoherently jetting into space | Grist
... including George Monbiot:
Interstellar: magnificent film, insane fantasy
Movies about abandoning Earth reflect the political defeatism of our age: that adapting to climate breakdown is preferable to stopping it
