South Park mirrors this. Since its a show which acts as social commentary and pokes fun at current events, they did Al Gore dirty and made fun of him for supposedly believing in imaginary climate change (man bear pig). 10 years later, they made episodes saying he was right.

FWIW Al gore was particularly full of shit. Totally motivated by his own profits. He basically freaked people out and then offered them a way to keep doing what they were doing and just pay him to absolve them of guilt. Essentially the pope of climate change.

Carbon offsets are a scam and humanity is the victim.

The solution was never going to involve "keep doing what you're doing".

Absolutely, though South Park never touched on that. They never said pay me and manbearpig will go away or something of that nature. The message was clear: climate change is imaginary.

There is also a futurama episode about global warming.
