The Age of Stupid

Thanks to Simon Renshaw for the tip off to this film, which looks to be very interesting.
The Age of Stupid stars Pete Postlethwaite as a man looking back from 2055 at the situation in 2008 and wondering why we didn't do something about climate change. A description from Amnesty blog:

It is a drama documentary, with some animation,  with Pete Postlethwaite playing a man living alone somewhere in the Arctic in 2055, in a futuristic tower, containing a number of the world's artefacts, which have been saved, following the devastating impact of climate change. Most of the major cities of the world, including London are under water, with only a few iconic buildings e.g the London Eye visible and the major ice floes of the world have melted.

He draws on archive footage to ponder why the world didn't take the chance to tackle climate change when they had the opportunity to do so.
