 As population is increasing 3 globe is
required to fulfil their needs.
 This person is climbing the mountain for last 150
year he tells the difference between temperature
earlier it was a beautiful summer turn into hot
summer days.
 Temptation of more and more beings from
childhood
 Huriancans have been major in some part
of globe making a huge distruction.
 It is obvious to suffer from this situation
as the man activities is not favour in
nature and disturbing the nature.
 Glaciers is been melting at a high rate
 New ear new and more numbers of needs
that need to be fulfil on sake on nature
and it is been on scale of recycle is
negligible.
 Situation of Africa suffering from poverty
,no awareness and pollution which is
beenon very hogh scale
problems like asthma,bronchitics,skin dises
and cancer and many more sufferings
 A seek peek in industrial pollution
 Which is full of carbon dioxide methane
and many more harmful gases on daily
bases
 Consumption rate of countries in contrast
to health of individual
 Unequal
 Distribution
 Of resources
Devilish nature of man is been
increasing
Clounds are shouting with fire
Moto of documentary
 The word “stupid” is one that I shy away from due to it
being judgmental, emotionally charged, and insensitive to
the mentally handicapped. However, this documentary, The
Age of Stupid, makes a compelling case for how things are
not being done to mitigate climate disruption, and how
things are not being done to support the renewable energy
sector, that can be seen in toto as being nothing other than
stupid. Pete Postlethwaite stars in the film. The film is set
in 2055, where Pete’s character does a retrospective
looking back on our current period of time to investigate
what went wrong to cause climate disruption, which has by
then caused the veritable extinction of humans. He does
this by using: film clips of real events that are happening in
our contemporary times that look at consumerism and
energy use; through the experiences of several people who
live in different countries; and commentary.
Questions Raised by the Film
 The film asks some good rhetorical questions. It asks:
 “Why were 100 railways in cities like New York, Philadelphia and
Los Angeles bought up and then deliberately destroyed?”
 “Why did the electric car get scrapped” (in the mid-1990s) while
showing a picture of the EV1.
 “Why were we [meaning the US], along with Australia, the only
two countries not to sign the original Kyoto Climate Treaty?”
 “Why was the same PR firm employed by the tobacco industry to
persuade the public that smoking is healthy, then employed by
the oil industry to convince us that there is still doubt about
climate change?”
 “Alternative [meaning renewable] energy has been available for
50 years. Why have we barely used it?”
 “Why were solar panels taken off the White House?”
 Then the film endeavors to answer these questions. While its
claims seem true enough to me, more documentation would have
bolstered its case.
Summary of documentary
 The Age of Stupid
 by Michael Wehner, Senior Climate Scientist,
 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory:
 While an independent film highlighting potential outcomes of global climate change
could provide a good foundation for intelligent discussion of the issues, “The Age of
Stupid” is a dangerous film undermining mainstream efforts to raise public
awareness of the hazards of climate change. I cannot recommend this film to
the climatechangeeducation.org audience, as it is seriously flawed.
 Rather than picking the film apart point by point, let’s cut to the chase and focus on
the most dangerous and fundamental flaw: The future archivist activities that imply
a total breakdown of human society due to global warming. This scenario may make
for good filmmaking, but it makes for really bad science. Not only is the whole idea
itself preposterous, predicting it will occur in 2055 is downright ridiculous. This is not
an outcome considered likely in either the IPCC assessment reports or any of the
national assessments. Given how central the catastrophic failure of society is to the
film's message, this alarmist film is more likely to fuel the arguments of climate
change skeptics rather than foster informed and productive discussions of this
extremely important issue.
 Sadly, a major breakdown of society by 2055
is feasible, not specifically from climate
change, but by a combination of a global
financial bubble collapse, rising
population/demands, depleting resources and
increasingly wacky weather crippling
attempts to rectify the situation. Humanity's
inability to deal with slo-mo disasters doesn't
help either. We can cope with sabre-tooth
tiger attacks but not events that are spread
over decades.
conclusion
 it clearly points to where humanity is headed
if we don't wake up and get serious about
addressing the climate/energy issue.
 Like you I try to avoid inflammatory language
but in this case simply using the word stupid
somehow falls short. There needs to be a few
more defining adjectives used. Like really,
colossally, unfathomably, massively,
unf&^king believably, etc .......
