Even though those movies are kind of embarrassingly bad they do a good job considering how the environment will be different in a dystopian future. But I really think Children of Men should be on the list. It is the most chilling and realistic depiction of the future both socially/politically and ecologically.

This list cannot be taken seriously when you somehow omit Brazil and Blade Runner in lieu of crap like The Day After Tomorrow. Tragic. First commenter nailed it.

The fools that believe such drivel are haters of people and free markets. Communists, in other words. If you let them lead you, you will end up dead or enslaved. I say we all need to burn as much carbon as we can get our hands on. When you rake up your leaves, burn them, trim your trees, burn the cuttings, cut your grass with your gas powered lawn mower every 3 days, drive the half block to the store, keep your empty milk, water, drink jugs in a bin and once a month, burn them. Burn all plastic waste. Pour used motor oil in the ground or in the water. To borrow from Rush, it is the height of arrogance to think that man can destroy what God has made. To hell with algore and his ilk. Man made global warming is a stupid hoax and not worthy of discussion. The fools that believe such drivel are haters of people and free markets.

I'd also add Bladerunner and Terminator (all) (the future sequences). I'd also put Soylent Green. Nice list and I agree with the the person above, V for Vendetta should be on that list.

Man made societies that hurt humanity and most importantly freedom. The movies on this list run contrary to that belief. They are meant to show that humans are intrinsically irresponsible dicks and it serves them right to be destroyed because its the product of our own selfish consumerism. The author did not base this list on the quality of the movie or the facts on climate change (see The Day After Tomorrow) and the energy crises but on how well they push that message through propaganda and misrepresentation of facts. This list was obviously written by one of those hate all humans environmentalists who believe it is fine for all of humanity to be killed based on the actions of a few. These movies don't represent realistic views of our future but the future a lot of environmentalists would wish upon humanity for supposedly "fucking up the earth".
