The Age of Stupid

[redsky]

This as come from Greenpeace:


Come to the movies with us!

We've teamed up with the film makers behind the new docu-drama-animation 'Age of Stupid' to deliver the world's biggest film premiere - September 21st (USA) and September 22nd (40+ countries). And we want you to be there.

Synopsis: Age of Stupid stars Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking back at 'archive' footage from 2007 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?

Find a screening near you / Watch the trailer / Learn more

The global premiere will feature a Green Carpet in New York, where actress Gillian Anderson will lead notables including Kofi Annan, Mary Robinson and James Hansen in a discussion about how we can stop catastrophic climate change.

Greenpeace will be contributing live feeds from the front lines of climate change, and is backing efforts to get the film seen by as many politicians and diplomats as possible.

So don't be stupid. Mark your calendar, buy your tickets, and invite that friend of yours who doesn't quite get why climate change matters so much. This film will make them an activist.

Tickets are on sale now. Find your nearest screening here. If there isn't a screening in your area you can join us at the premiere online

just watch 'idiocracy' for an idea of what humanity would become like if we aren't careful.

i'd like to also see what suggestions they have for decreasing global warming (especially how you tackle increased solar activity, blow up the sun?).

One would have to be stupid to listen to anything Green peace has to say, as well as fill their pockets with money for a stupid movie.

"Fight climate change", That's utterly laughable, and a bit sad that people actually fall for it. That's like trying to fight gravity. This planet has never, and will never be a constant climate. It's constantly changing.

If people still believe in the Co2 scam, we are already in the 'Age of stupid' or maybe that is the point of the title.

Instead of making mind trap movies for kids, perhaps they should make a movie demonstrating, carbons role in the cycle of life, demonstrating its requirement by all living things. Which was something that formed part of the curriculum, before carbon became the evil element, poured out into the atmosphere my man kind.

Where the hell was Greenpeace when Sea Shepherd were out in the Southern Ocean defending the beautiful whales from those butchers..Oh they thought they would fight the whalers via peaceful means by sending Morons to japan to sell pink plastic whales on the streets...What the F--k does this useless money grabbing corporation think they are up too.They are useless and god help them if they ask for a donation from me in the street.Now Sea Shepherd thats a different story,they do actively protect the whales as best they can..

We could also educate the children about how global warming is a naturally occcuring cycle that has been happening for millenia, as reported by some scientists, after examining ice cores, etc. Wait a minute though, this means that the PTB can't blame us and charge us massive taxes in response. ;)

one of the comments on youtube was

amusing concept, too close to the truth; elite encourage mainstream "dysgenics" to make the masses down-breed into weak,obedient slaves.

We need a Eugenics programme ASAP to counter this trend.
:eek:

Some of you are just too 'anti' for your own good. The main point about films like 'AofS' and 'Idio' is to open the debate, or to keep the debate open. Climate Change is a very 'real' threat to millions of people in a number of vulnerable areas of the world.

Yes, western governments will hype the threat to their over-consuming populations, and will seek to induce ways of slowing or lessening that consumption through various forms of taxation...whether or not it is or isn't for the right reasons. Then again, are you going to lessen your (or that of your family's) carbon footprint by your own initiative? No, I don't think that's going to happen, except maybe for a few token gestures to try to salve (or trick) one's conscience.

I think, maybe in the end, what will be the better argument, is for western countries to truly experience the same vulnerability of threatend areas of the world, not just once or twice, but on a daily basis. To be seasonally battered by ever-stronger hurricanes and monsoons; to have the shorelines and surrounding areas inundated by higher tides, to see land mass being swallowed and made unreclaimable from the oceans. To have earthquakes shake the towns and cities that are constantly covered in dense clouds of lung-choking smog (which is a definite man-introduced toxin)...I'm sure you get the drift.

We got a choice to make as a species that can do something to an limited extent. We cannot stop nature, of course not, but we can help each other to adapt to the changes, but going on the evidence of the mindsets on display, we don't want to cooperate towards equal adaptation...we just don't care enough, we're just too damn suspicious of shadows and phantoms, and live in a true 'age of stupid' because we are numbed by our own misperceptions and convictions...afterall, we are 'awake' and cannot be fooled...except perhaps, by our own mindset.
