Some of the main themes explored in Dr. Stone include:This manga takes a more abstract approach to climate change, in that all living beings are turned into stone. Nonetheless, from the setting of the story, the disaster that occurred was natural and petrified all of humanity. Demonstrating that the Earth is powerful and will not hesitate to attack all of humanity to pay for their mistakes. 


With Senuku’s goal to establish a kingdom of science, this reveals how important science is to the revival of the world. Not only does this lesson apply to the manga, but it also is applicable in real life, in the prevention of global warming and climate change. Oftentimes, governments and people in power make decisions based on what is good economically, sacrificing the environment. However, this manga showcases science is what our society needs in order to prevent disasters from happening, more realistic of course, but nonetheless, a disaster. 
 Given that Senuku and all of his friends are in their mid-teens and it is up to them to establish a new kingdom of science, this is an example of the younger generation being responsible for improving climate change and natural disasters caused by it. This is a common theme amongst many eco horror media, because it reflects the reality of the world, in that the younger generation is left with the Earth the longest and that climate and natural disasters often affect the younger generations more because of this.
