Adam McKay is an Oscar-winning writer/director/producer whose work includes Don't Look Up, The Big Short, Anchorman, Talledega Nights, The Other Guys and many others. He also co-founded with Will Ferrell the wonderful "Funny or Die" website.
What McKay also founded was Yellow Dot Studios, which is a non-profit production company to fight back on climate disinformation and inaction. I was unaware of them until just the other day, but they have a lot of very good videos that they've put out for years, which you can find on their website.
They came to my attention the other day when I saw their latest video. It's directed by McKay with narration performed by Ron Perlman, star of the Hellboy movies and much more, and it was written by Josh Olson.
The impetus for the fake ad comes from when ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods suggested that it was consumers who are to blame for the toxic carbon emissions, rather than what his company produces.
