Age of Stupid premiere

I went to the Premiere of Age of Stupid yesterday, and was impressed with the film. I thought that the premise of looking back in time from the future was a good way of approaching the subject, and that the use of the stories of real people, affected by climate change, and by Peak Oil was very moving, and effective.

After the film, they announced a coalition against climate change, involving lots of different organisations, that they claimed represented nearly 6 million people, or 10% of the UK population. The message that they were trying to get across was that we must put pressure on the government to push for a really strong treaty to come out of Copenhagen, in December, to replace the Kyoto agreement, and that they were organising a mass rally in December.

The website implores people to watch the film on its opening weekend, which is coming, as the number of ‘bums on seats’ over the opening weekend, will determine how widely shown the film will be. There is a list of cinemas sheduled to show the film, so if you’re concerned about climate change, or peak oil, you need to get yourself, and as many friends as you can muster, to a screening this weekend.

Please support the film, and encourage as many people as possible to go and watch it.
