In the doc “The Yes Men Are Revolting,” a pair of climate-change fanatics billing themselves as “the Yes Men” go to Uganda pushing for payments from the West to expiate our global-warming sins. Problem: When they get there, they find the country pushing for a bill demanding execution for homosexuals. Awkward.

It’s an example of how pranksters Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos, a k a the Yes Men (who for some reason call themselves “Andy” and “Mike,” respectively), tend to miss out on direct threats to actual humans in favor of vaguely defined notional dangers of the future.

The pair have tossed together this dog’s breakfast of global warming alarmism, clips from the Occupy protests (remember those?) and fake press conferences where they spoofed polluters while occasionally fooling news organizations. It’s a tiresome, preachy, repetitive, disorganized and dismally unfunny attempt to appeal to Michael Moore fans. The overall temperature of their efforts is strictly room: Call this “Fahrenheit 68.”
