I don’t know if you ever listen to the Project Censored podcast but a recent episode was exploring the psychology of why even people who are very aware of the problems and in fact are very concerned are not changing their behavior even in light of the knowledge of the catastrophe.

My thoughts have been mostly along the “selfish gene” sociobiological perspective but these guys think more along mass cultural lines. Interesting but depressing. The answers to those kinds of questions are of course multilayered. Unfortunately, instead of dealing with it from every angle we’re hardly even taking a simple linear approach.

Not so much the movie but the book The Road I think gets into this in the subtext. The end of humanity as a whole isn’t really anymore devastating to an individual than the certain death we all face.
