After releasing a teaser clip yesterday, Pearl Jam has dropped the full video for "Retrograde."

The video's plot revolves around a man who goes for a psychic reading only to see some of the biggest city landmarks and landscapes destroyed due to rising ocean water caused by climate change. The video features a cameo appearance by climate change activist Greta Thunberg and closes with the message, "It's gonna take much more than ordinary love to lift this up..."

The overall theme of Pearl Jam's latest album, Gigaton, has focused on climate change and the damage it has caused the world over.
