The effect of watching the film Don’t Look Up was polarizing. For Democrats who watched it, they become 1% more supportive of immediate government action on climate. But for Republicans, they became 15% LESS supportive. Independents became 9% MORE supportive.

These results came from a national survey that included over 2,700 responses. The film Don’t Look Up set a record-breaking 150 million streaming hours in a single week.
