The Age of Stupid:
This movie was about Global Warming and what it has come to. It has been 5 years since Katrina hit New Orleans and people are still without homes and necessities and after that it took 9 months for them to retrieve oil again. The movie also talks about how the USA and Europe are the most consuming countries in the world because we take what we have for granted and without realizing there are people in Africa and china that live on only 1$ to 100$ a day.
Also this movie describes how the products that we use are mostly made of oil which is a non-renewable resource or fossil fuel. At the rate that we are going most or even all of the oil can be gone in the next 40 years. Even in France the Glaciers are melting leaving nothing but water. A man in UK was trying to make a change by simply suggesting a wind turbine farm to produce wind energy, but he was out-voted by people who didn't think that they were a good idea because it would ruin the "view". People were arguing about how the wind turbines would lower the price of their property. In India a man was making a environmentally friendly plane that was approved and has succeeded. Towards the end the man was explaining about how we are commiting suicide for not trying hard enough to prevent Global Warming. The man from France was also said," People from the next generation are going to blame us for not being able to see the wonders that we got to and not putting effort towards the one thing we could have prevented."
