Like happened with Red Skull in the last decade.
Someone evidently thought "Here's a topic we want to paint as bad, let's pair it with Super Hitler! That'll show them Drumpfchuds!"
Somewhat related since it's DC, Superman had a comic about climate change including Superman's son being in a group with a sign that read "There is no planet B".
Earth literally is "planet B" for Kal'El.
Various DC characters, including Superman, are written as being so beyond mortal intelligence that solving something like climate change should in fact be quite possible for a large number of the DC roster.
The Justice League also not only have the ability to travel to other planets through tech, but many individual members can similarly achieve spaceflight. That alone should mean access to solar resources but of course doesn't.
Because comics always try to be "Earth like" and maintain the status quo of having superheroes in a semi-realistic world that can't actually go around fixing things since that would get in the way of "the message".
That's a common problem with making Earth a nexus point for galactic protagonists, yet forcing the setting to remain contemporary. "Why don't the heroes use their knowledge of outer space to advance human civilization hundreds of years?"
One reason I so adore Gurren Lagann even after all these years is because that's exactly what happens.
One of the most influential and famous story arcs in Marvel history post-2000 was that literally no one in their entire universe can heal a gunshot wound in a normal old lady except the Literal Fucking Devil altering reality.
These writers cannot grasp their own sense of scale and power.
Aunt May in Weapon X program - what a storyline that would've been.
Stop reminding me One More Day Exist
Fun fact, we have a solution for "climate change", aka excess CO2: Iron ocean seeding. A billion dollars of rust dumped into specific parts of the ocean would offset a century of CO2 emissions.
That this solution is not thoroughly investigated is proof that it's all bullshit.
The same groups saying iron seeding might have negative effects were demanding Congress dump coal dust on the ice sheets in the 1970s to fight global cooling. And then demanding tougher emissions controls in the 90s to fight global warming.
I'm gonna give everyone a pass on that, no matter their beliefs. Most people's brainstems are going to (correctly) interpret dumping unimaginable amounts of rust into the ocean to change the planet as closer to cosmic horror than engineering.
Not cutting down hundreds of acres of trees for shitty solar panel farms?
You think that's what solar farms are for? It's not about trees. Solar panels leech chemicals into the soil making the land they were installed on unsuitable for growing food.
Both of these things can be true.
You get a GoFundMe started for that. I'm gonna keep throwing car batteries in the ocean.
The entire plot of the old Superfriends cartoon (the one with the wonder twins) was the Justice League fighting the weather lol.
hell, lex luthor would do it just to monetize it and piss off superman.
And that's terrible
